The Materials of the Future Graduate Programme forms part of the Scientific Challenges initiative of the Faculty of Science and Technology, and is linked to the thematic priorities of Polytech and ENSAIT. The programme's clear objective is to train the experts of tomorrow in the design, characterisation and transformation of sustainable and multifunctional materials. The programme is highly interdisciplinary, involving the chemistry, mechanics, physics and civil engineering departments of the four participating institutions, and forms part of the 'Materials for a world in transition' challenge. Based on a continuum of research and industry, it integrates innovation, sustainability, recyclability and cross-disciplinary applications (energy, health, transport, textiles and the environment). The programme provides doctoral students with the skills they need to thrive in a changing world, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
