GrEnFIn is a 24-month Erasmus Mundus Master programme offering 120 ECTS, culminating in a multiple degree issued by the three partner universities:
1. UNIBO, Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, Italy, project coordinator
2. LMU, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany, full partner
3. UPD, Université Paris Dauphine, France, full partner
Notably, the project builds upon the knowledge and outcomes derived from a previous E+ Knowledge Alliance “GrEnFIn” (Call EAC/A03/201, GA 612408), particularly those involving collaborative efforts for the issuance of multiple degrees.
The GrEnFIn educational approach is meant to respond to societal and labor market needs by providing stakeholders in the Energy Sector (energy providers, private companies, research institutes) with European, highly interdisciplinary skilled professionals capable of facing changing challenges in the field. This includes guaranteeing stable and sustainable access to energy, which aligns with the EU2030 programme's transition to a low-carbon energy sector, the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement as well. Therefore, the multidisciplinary nature of the GrEnFIn EMJM is crucial for equipping students with the skills to analyze and manage challenges arising from the transition to a low-carbon economy.
The proposed educational path comprises four main academic subjects:
1. quantitative tools for climate science and finance energy economics;
2. engineering of renewable resources;
3. advanced statistics;
4. IT.
These domains are seamlessly woven into three pioneering curricula meticulously structured to foster distinct and specialized competencies.
The GrEnFIn EMJM stands at the forefront of aligning with key European Union policy frameworks, including the European Green Deal and the overarching digitalization agenda.
