Beginning of the ATHENS Week at Ecole nationale des ponts et chaussées

The ATHENS Week (Advanced Technology Higher Education Network/Socrates) takes place from 20 to 24 November 2023.

Organized by the ATHENS network (14 European technological universities and 9 ParisTech Graduate Schools of Engineering), this event is an opportunity for students with a scientific or technological background to visit one of the network's partners providing one-week courses of a high academic standard. For some, it might even be an inspiration to embark on a longer international mobility programme later on. The international students were welcomed to Paris on Saturday 18 November with an introductory talk and a convivial moment together.

This year, more than 150 students from École nationale des ponts et chaussées attend courses at our Partners', including 3 from the EELISA Alliance: BME (Hungary), ITU (Turkey) and UPM (Spain). The School also welcomes about 130 students, including 30 from BME, ITU and UPM, taking one of the 7 courses on offer:
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Real estate economics
- Design and renovation of eco-neighbourhoods
- Quantifying uncertainty in numerical simulations
- Startup creathon
- Raw earth: a building material for tomorrow?
- Planning the European electricity system: a serious game
