ATHENS November 2012
Presentation and Objectives
Created in 1996, the ATHENS Network is composed of 15 European technological universities or institutions :
AUTh (Thessaloniki), BME (Budapest), CTU (Prague), IST (Lisbon), ITU (Istanbul), KUL (Leuven), NTNU
(Trondheim), Politecnico Milan, TUD (Delft), TUM (Munich), TUW (Wien), UCL (Louvain-la-Neuve),
UPM (Madrid), WUT (Warsaw), and 9 of the 12 institutes of ParisTech "Grandes Ecoles d'Ingénieurs de
Paris »: AgroParisTech, Arts et Métiers ParisTech (ENSAM), Chimie ParisTech (ENSCP), Ecole des
Ponts ParisTech (ENPC), ENSTA ParisTech, ESPCI ParisTech, Institut d’Optique Graduate School
(IOGS), MINES ParisTech (ENSMP), Telecom ParisTech.
The principle goal of the Network is to facilitate the exchange of students, professors and researchers among
the major European technological universities and to participate together under European technological
development and training programmes.
One of the Network's first and most unique actions concerns the organisation of an intensive course
programme given at each member institution during one of two defined periods ("Sessions") of the academic
year (November and March). This training activity, called ATHENS (Advanced Technology Higher Education
Network/SOCRATES).
Each Session, includes both 30 hours of scientific courses work (see pages 20-22 for the courses offered)
as well as 10-15 hours of "European Dimension" activities (see pages 6-7). At the termination of an
ATHENS Session, the Home Institution officially recognises the work carried out, according to the results
obtained on an examination organised by the Host Institution and evaluated according to its proper system of
grading. Each complete Session is generally worth 2 to 3 ECTS credits. The number of credits given
depends on the home University.
Though ATHENS is a relatively new SOCRATES activity this intensive course system is based on two successful
past experiences :
-
That of the ParisTech "Semaine Européenne", a 5-day long scientific intensive course programme
set up between 1992 and 1999 among 9 of the 10 ParisTech institutions and under which some
1200 students annually participated in the intensive courses offered.
-
That of the Leuven Network ERASMUS Programme: between 1990 and 1997, students from each
institution were annually exchanged to follow an intensive course in the area of
Telecommunications at a member institution. Over 150 students participated each year in this
programme.
ATHENS is an enlarged version of these two programmes
The objective of the ATHENS Programme is that of giving students, coming from one Institution, the
possibility of knowing another European pedagogical system. The Programme permits students, from different
institutions to briefly integrate into courses of a high scientific level. When possible local students participate in
these courses. This experience, in many cases, gives students the desire to carry out studies of a longer duration
(Master or Phd level) at an institution different from their Home Institution and thus favours exchanges
between students of the major European technological institutions.
The ATHENS Programme, was established with support of the European Communities SOCRATES
Programme, receiving an annual subsidy of 50 000 Euros from 1997-2001. Today the Programme continues to
be financed by the member institutions with the help of industrial partners and local authorities.

ATHENS November 2012
Organisation and Registration for Courses
The list and characteristics of the various courses proposed for the ATHENS Session, November 17-24, are
given in this brochure on pages 20-22.
In order to participate in the Session, candidates are asked to do the following :

choose three or more possible courses in order of priority, taking into account the background knowledge
(prerequisites) required in order to fully benefit from the course selected (additional information can be
obtained from the professor organising the course, see the Course Description, and by consulting professors
at the Home Institution).

complete the Registration Form on the Web (found on either : http//www.athensprogramme.com or
http://www.paristech.fr and indicate, in addition to the course selected as a first choice, a " second choice
course and third choice " in order to have a strong chance of participating in the Session. ParisTech
students will be asked to complete up to six choices, depending on their institution.

complete, print out and sign the Registration Form and the Commitment and return both forms to
the International Office of your Home Institution. This Office is in charge of verifying that candidates
have sufficient knowledge to follow the courses selected. They decide whether or not to propose a student
for the Programme. You should also read “Things to Know about ATHENS”.

take special note of the dates, hours and different European Dimension Programmes organised at each
institution. As previously indicated, these programmes are an integral part of an ATHENS Session (further
details are given on pages 6-7).

Attention! Once you have received official acceptance for the ATHENS November 2012 Session, your
registration is considered as definite. Only in the case of major unforeseen circumstances will Home
Institutions permit their students to cancel registration. Last minute cancellations can be costly: students
can be asked to pay local expenses entailed by the course institution and the cost of housing reserved
for them.

According to your nationality, verify the visa requirements for the destinations you have chosen.
The deadline for each ATHENS Member Institution to send each of the individual Registration Forms is:
CONSULT your LOCAL ATHENS COORDINATOR
The official decision of Acceptance of Candidates for a course will be communicated to Member Institutions
on
OCTOBER 24, 2012
No charge is made to students to follow a course. Travel and Living costs are, however, the responsibility of
the participating students and their Home Institution. See the section on Financial Conditions for more details.

ATHENS November 2012
Housing, Travel and Living Costs for the 5 day courses and the European
Dimension Programme
Housing:
Institutions organising courses will make the necessary housing arrangements for participating students who
desire lodging during a Session (please complete the questions concerning this item on the ATHENS Application
Form). Students should consult the chart on pages 13-15 to see the hotel dates which will be reserved at each
institution. Housing and living costs will be kept to a minimum. As a result, students, requesting such local
housing, must expect to find very “simple” forms of lodging. Once reservations have been made for students
in local housing, these reservations cannot be changed except for major reasons.
Travel:
Travel costs, by bus, second class train or special reduced group flights costs from one institution to an other vary
tremendously. ATHENS Home Institutions will assist students in finding the cheapest rate possible.
European Dimension Activities:
The purpose of these activities, organised to complement the course a student follows, is to permit ATHENS
students to better know the course organising institution, its faculty, as well as the foreign European city where the
course is held. Of special importance is the possibility to mix with students of different nationalities and
backgrounds during these European Dimension activities.
Several types of activities take place:
- Visits to quarters and museums of the city or local area
- Visits to special exhibitions
- Concerts
- Informal activities and social events to permit visiting ATHENS students to meet with local students
- Student industrial forum to bring students into contact with the professional world
On the next page is a brief summary of the type of programme organised at each ATHENS site. Please take note of
when these programmes begin and terminate. This information will be necessary for participating students in order
to make their travel arrangements. A detailed programme for each site participating in the November 2012
Session will be available on the ATHENS Web site http://www.athensprogramme.com some ten days prior to the
start of the Session.

ATHENS November 2012
Présentation et objectifs
Créé en novembre 1996, le réseau ATHENS se compose de 15 universités ou institutions technologiques
européennes : AUTh (Thessaloniki), BME (Budapest), CTU (Prague), IST (Lisbon), ITU (Istanbul), KUL
(Leuven), NTNU (Trondheim), Politecnico (Milan), TUD (Delft), TUM (Munich), TUW (Wien), UCL (Louvainla-Neuve), UPM (Madrid), WUT (Warsaw), et 9 des 12 Ecoles de ParisTech "Grandes Ecoles d'Ingénieurs de
Paris »: AgroParisTech, Arts et Métiers ParisTech (ENSAM), Chimie ParisTech (ENSCP), Ecole des Ponts
ParisTech (ENPC), ENSTA ParisTech, ESPCI ParisTech, Institut d’Optique Graduate School (IOGS),
MINES ParisTech (ENSMP), Telecom ParisTech,
Le réseau a pour objectif principal de faciliter les échanges d’étudiants, d’enseignants et de chercheurs entre les
grandes universités technologiques européennes et de participer ensemble aux grands programmes européens de
développement technologique et de formation.
Une des premières actions du réseau concerne la mise en place d’un programme de cours intensifs dispensés dans
chaque institution membre durant une des deux périodes (sessions) définies de l’année universitaire (novembre et
mars).
Cette activité de formation, dénommée sous le sigle ATHENS (Advanced Technology Higher Education
Network/SOCRATES), s’inscrit dans le cadre du programme européen SOCRATES/ERASMUS.
Chacune des sessions inclut 30 heures de cours scientifiques (voir pages 20 à 22 pour la liste des cours
proposés) et 10 à 15 heures d’activités de « Dimension européenne » (voir pages 11-12).
A la fin de chacune des sessions, l’enseignement est validé par l’institution d’origine suivant le résultat obtenu au
contrôle de connaissances organisé par l’institution d’accueil selon ses propres critères d’évaluation. Chaque
session complète équivaut généralement à 2 à 3 crédits ECTS. Le nombre de crédits octroyés dépend de
l’institution d’origine.
Ces programmes de cours intensifs, bien que relativement nouveaux, tirent parti de deux expériences passées
réussies :
-
celle de la « semaine européenne » de ParisTech. Cette activité d’échanges entre élèves de neuf des dix
grandes écoles d’ingénieurs de Paris, a drainé de 1992 à 1999 chaque année environ 1200 élèves
ingénieurs qui suivaient les enseignements organisés pendant une semaine de cours intensifs (30 heures
de cours sur 5 jours) deux foix par an, en novembre et en mars.
-
celle du « Leuven Network » dans le cadre de l’ancien programme ERASMUS, qui une fois par an,
entre 1990 et 1997, a permis, chaque année, à 150 étudiants de ce réseau de suivre un cours intensif
dans le domaine des télécommunications.
Le programme intensif dit ATHENS est une version nouvelle et enrichie de ces deux actions.
L’objectif recherché est de donner l’occasion aux étudiants provenant d’une autre institution de connaître un autre
système pédagogique en s’intégrant brièvement à des enseignements de haut niveau scientifique suivis par des
élèves d’établissements différents. Dans la mesure du possible, les étudiants de l'institution d'accueil suivent
également ce cours. Cette expérience devrait susciter l’envie d’effectuer ultérieurement un séjour de plus longue
durée (au niveau 3ème cycle notamment) dans une institution différente de l’institution de provenance de
l’étudiant, et favoriser ainsi les échanges entre les élèves des grandes universités technologiques européennes.
Le programme intensif ATHENS fut établi avec le soutien de la Commission européenne dans le cadre du
programme SOCRATES/ERASMUS qui lui a accordé entre 1997 et 2001 une subvention annuelle de 50 000
Euros. Aujourd’hui ATHENS continue à bénéficier du financement des institutions membres ainsi que de l’aide
offerte par des entreprises et des autorités locales.

de remplir le formulaire d’inscription sur Web (dont le modèle se trouve soit à http://www.paristech.fr, soit à
http://www.athensprogramme.com) en indiquant, en plus de votre choix principal de cours, un second et
troisième choix dans l'éventualité d'un manque de places disponibles dans le cours du premier choix (de cette
façon un candidat augmente ses chances d’acceptation). Les étudiants de ParisTech seront invités à faire
jusqu’à six choix selon leur institution d’origine.
-
de signer le formulaire et l’engagement et de les retourner à votre coordonnateur local (direction des
études) chargé de vérifier les candidatures avant de les proposer pour la session ATHENS.
-
de lire le document « Things to Know about ATHENS ».
-
de bien noter les dates et heures du programme de Dimension Européenne organisé par l'Institution où vous
suivrez votre Session. Ainsi que nous l'avons souligné plus haut, ce programme fait partie intégrante d'une
session ATHENS (détails pages 11-12)
-
ATTENTION : dès reception de votre confirmation officielle vous serez définitivement inscrit pour
suivre la Session ATHENS de novembre 2012. Seul un cas de force majeure ou des circonstances
exceptionnelles permettront aux responsables locaux de donner leur approbation pour annuler cette inscription.
Une annulation de dernière minute coûte cher : il pourra être demandé à l'étudiant de payer les frais
engagés par l'institution d'accueil ainsi que le paiement du logement qu'on lui aura réservé, si son
annulation n'est pas valablement justifiée.
-
suivant votre nationalité, bien vérifier les formalités de visa à accomplir pour les différentes destinations
choisies.
La date limite de renvoi de la fiche individuelle de demande d'inscription par l'établissement d'origine est le :
CONSULTEZ VOTRE COORDONNATEUR LOCAL

ATHENS November 2012
Logement, Voyage et Frais de Séjour (cinq jours de cours, plus le programme de
Dimension Européenne)
Logement :
Les institutions proposent les cours et organisent l’hébergement des étudiants désireux de se loger durant la session
(merci de compléter les rubriques concernées dans la fiche d’inscription). Les étudiants sont invités à consulter le
tableau (pages 13-15) afin de connaître les dates d’hôtel retenues par chaque institution. Les frais d’hébergement et
de séjour seront réduits au minimum. Ce qui implique que les étudiants, qui s’engagent dans ces conditions,
doivent s’attendre à un logement sommaire.
Par ailleurs une fois la réservation faite, aucun désistement ne sera accepté sauf pour des raisons majeures.
Voyage :
Les frais de voyage varient considérablement d'une destination à l'autre. Chaque établissement propose à ses
étudiants le tarif de transport le plus avantageux.
Activités de dimension européenne :
Le but de ces activités, organisées en complément des cours, est de permettre à l'étudiant ATHENS de mieux
connaître l’institution qui l'accueille, ainsi que la ville européenne dans laquelle il se trouve. Une importance
particulière est donnée à l'opportunité qui est fournie aux étudiants ATHENS de pouvoir s'intégrer à un groupe
mixte d'étudiants de nationalités et formations différentes, au cours de ces activités.
Plusieurs activités sont proposées:
- Visite des quartiers et de Musées de la ville et des alentours
- Visites d'expositions temporaires ou permanentes
- Concerts
- Activités informelles et événements sociaux pour permettre aux étudiants visiteurs ATHENS de
rencontrer les étudiants locaux.
- Forum industriel pour une prise de contact des étudiants avec le monde professionnel
Ci-après, un résumé succinct du type de programme organisé par chaque site ATHENS. Veuillez noter les
horaires et dates de début et de fin du programme culturel vous concernant. Ces informations sont décisives
pour décider de votre calendrier de voyage. Un programme culturel détaillé pour chacun des sites participant à la
session de novembre 2012 sera disponible sur le site Web (http://www.athensprogramme.com), dix jours avant le
début de la session.

The students of the BME do not need an introduction to the shape, role or importance of steel bridges:
the bridges of Budapest offer a unique opportunity for everyone. Constructing bridges requires a wide
range of engineering knowledge from foundations and superstructure to the planning of bridge traffic.
In this course the subject of steel and iron bridges is presented, summarizing the problems of design,
detailing, construction, maintenance and refurbishment. This requires a detailed treatment of aspects
of both traditional and modern bridges, as modern bridges are to be built and traditional bridges are to
be repaired or reconstructed.
Seven 2-hour lectures:
History of Budapest Danube bridges
Design, construction, maintenance and refurbishment of the bridges of Budapest
Static problems of bridges in Budapest
Bridge aesthetics
Role of bridges in the development of city construction
Three 2-hour exercises
Using a program from the Internet to design a bridge for given conditions
Prerequisites
Course exam
One-day visit to Budapest bridges (8 hours)
General knowledge in Structural Mechanics, use of computer programs
- Answering test questions
- Evaluation of the bridge made by computer program

This 1-week design course is offered by staff members of the TU Delft post-MSc Designer Programmes. These
post-MSc PDEng programmes employ thirty (salaried) PDEng trainees every year. These PDEng trainees are
recruited from high performing (inter)national MSc graduates in the fields of (bio)chemical engineering and Life
Science & Technology.

Traineeships engineering design - PDEng programmes
The design-traineeships of Delft University of Technology train you to translate academic developments in Life
Sciences and (Bio)Chemical Engineering to real-life applications and industrial products, working to meet the
industry’s demand for new technologies. A design-traineeship (PDEng-position) offers an application-focused
alternative to a PhD position and provides you with a solid basis for an accelerated start in an industrial career. The
programmes are a joint initiative of and are sponsored by the Dutch Life Sciences and (Bio)Chemical industry and
the Dutch government.Currently, TU Delft offers 3 PDEng-programmes:
 Process and Equipment Design
 Designer in Bioprocess Engineering
 BioProduct Design
 Chemical Product Design
As a trainee in one of our designer programmes, you develop yourself into a visionary team-player with a state-ofthe-art background in life sciences or (bio)chemical engineering, prepared for innovative product and process
design. You are trained to develop and apply an independent attitude, a critical approach, creativity, and a focus on
innovative applications in these interdisciplinary fields.
The first year consists of a tailor-made programme of advanced coursework in the relevant science and
engineering disciplines, project management, intellectual property and economics. You gain experience in
39
ATHENS November 2012
teamwork, multidisciplinary problem-solving and conceptual design. You learn to apply a systematic, quantitative
design methodology in a variety of science disciplines. You implement your knowledge in the Group Design Project
at the end of the first year.
In the second year you apply your skills in the Industrial Design Project in industry, developing creative solutions
for real-life problems, based on the latest developments in the Life or Chemical Sciences. After successful
completion of your training, you receive the ‘Professional Doctorate in Engineering’ degree, or PDEng. The 3TU
School Stan Ackermans Institute offers more information on the PDEng-degree.
The expertise gained in this programme is in great demand and leads to excellent prospects for a professional
career in the Dutch and international industry.
The design-traineeships are offered in close collaboration with industrial partners, like Shell, Akzo Nobel, DSM,
TNO, ECN, Centocor, DOW Chemical, Promega, Octoplus, Johnson&Johnson, Nestle and Unilever.

The general objective is to provide students with a sound grounding of scientific, methodological and
technological fundamentals in the ontology engineering field. These fundamentals will be later used to
build applications that can integrate, combine and infer heterogeneous and distributed information.
This course is organized in four sections and an oral presentation, with a total of 30 hours. For each
section, we specify the amount of time devoted to theoretical lessons and to hands-on activities. Each
section is composed of several units. Section 1: Introduction (theory: 1 hour)Unit 1. (1 hour)
General overview of the ontology engineering field and description of the types of problems the
semantic technology can be applied to. Section 2: Computational linguistics (theory: 2 hours,
hands-on: 2 hours)Unit 2. (1 hour) Introduction to some computational linguistics concepts useful in
building ontologies (terminological aspects: concepts, terms, relations between them, definitions, etc).
Types of terminological resources (lexicons, thesauri, mono-, multilingual dictionaries, controlledlanguage vocabularies, terminological DBs, etc.) that can be used as a starting point in ontology
building. Unit 3. (1 hour) Multilingual representation in ontologies. Section 3. Ontologies (theory: 11
hours, hands-on: 10 hours)Unit 4. (2 hours) Theoretical aspects: definition, scope, and types of
ontologies. Unit 5. (2 hours) Languages used in ontology implementation: (RDF(S) and OWL) as well
as query languages (SPARQL).Unit 6. (2 hours) Tools used in building and storing ontologies
(Sesame, Jena, Protégé, NeOn toolkit) as well as in ontology reasoning (Pellet, Racer). Unit 7. (2
hours) Development methodologies used in building ontologies and ontology networks through
collaborative work.Unit 8. (3 hours) Ontology Mapping (methods, techniques and tools) Section 4.
Linked Data (theory: 1 hour, hands-on: 1 hour)Unit 9. (1 hour) How to create and use linked data.
To allow students to consolidate knowledge and skills acquired throughout the course some
assignments related to each unit have been designed. Students will work in pairs and all the
coursework to be done will be related to a specific domain. The aim is to enable students to apply the

salvador.rodriguezn@upm.es
Minimum: 15, Maximum: 25, Reserved for local students:
In this seminar we will analyse the dark side of technology, as it is presented in science fiction movies
and othe popular culture artifacts. Science fiction usually portrays technology as trying to destroy or
enslave humanity and, consequently, serves as a good indicator of the social responses to new
technologies, and of the arising anxieties. From Fritz Lang’s Metropolis to the Wachowski’s The Matrix
or Stanton’s Wall-E, many Sci-Fi movies present in different ways the problematic sideeffects brought
about by the new technologies and the ethical, political, and existential questions they pose. The latent
anxiety expresses a technophobic fear of losing our human identity, our freedom, our emotions, our
values, and our lives to machines. So instead of disregarding this way of being with technology as
primitive, we will inquire into the reasons which provoke such uneasiness.
Every topic presented will be illustrated with a particula movie which will be followed by a class
discussion. During the four first sessions, the sequence wil be: (1) Introduction, (2) Film watching, (3)
class discussion, and (4) conclusions. The last day will be devoted to oral presentations or final test.
Upper intermediate level of English is a must. Students with a lower level will be uanble to follow the
classes.

The main objective of the course is to introduce its participants to the contemporary computational
electromagnetics (CEM). It opens way to what has been the dream of scientists and engineers for a
century: visualisation of electromagnetic fields and power. Those contructs, often considered
hypothetical by students, will thereby gain the physical touch.
The course will go step by step through typical problems of high-frequency electrical engineering,
showing how they are effectively solved on a computer. The students will be expected to grasp
fundamentals of popular methods in computational electromagnetics, including their scope of
applications, computer effort requirements, accuracy bounds, and methods of accuracy to computer
effort improvement. The focus will be on the finite-difference time-domain method, which is especially
convenient and powerful for visulisation of electromagnetic phenomena in both steady state and
transient regimes. The accumulated knowledge should facilitate future conscious use of commercial
software for computational physics.

- Montrer comment des stratégies de valorisation innovantes de la biomasse végétale se mettent en place à partir
des procédés agro-industriels traditionnels.
- Evaluer l’impact de ces stratégies sur les ressources humaines, l’environnement et l’organisation de l’outil de
production, la recherche (niveau régional, national et européen)
- Illustrer le concept de bioraffinerie et ses spécificités à travers l’étude d’un cas concret de terrain.
- Conduire un travail en équipe pour analyser le fonctionnement d’un système agro-industriel
Contexte : Avec la mise en place de nouvelles stratégies d’utilisation du végétal, on assiste depuis une vingtaine
d’année à une évolution du paysage agro-industriel impliquant l’évolution des industries traditionnelles de
fractionnement du végétal (sucrerie, amidonnerie, papeterie, …). L’une de ces évolutions repose sur l’intégration
sur un même site de ces industries de transformation de façon à produire molécules pour la chimie, ingrédients
pour alimentation humaine et animale, biocarburants, biomatériaux et énergie. Cette intégration vise à maximiser la
valeur ajoutée tout en respectant les enjeux économiques, sociétaux et environnementaux du développement
durable. Elle passe par une optimisation des interactions entre unités de production et de transformation (gestion
des flux de matière et d’énergie) et par un choix raisonné des filières d’approvisionnement et des différentes voies
de valorisation des produits et co-produits (alimentation humaine / alimentation animale / énergie / synthons pour la
chimie /ingrédients fonctionnels pour les cosmétiques

Contexte : Les problèmes socio-économiques posés par les changements climatiques et les enjeux liés
à la transition vers une société bas carbone, sollicitent de nombreux champs disciplinaires, tant parmi
les sciences dites dures (sciences physiques, sciences du vivant) que parmi les sciences sociales, en
particulier en économie de l'environnement. Plus précisément, l'enjeu central face au défi climatique et
à la raréfaction des ressources fossiles réside dans l'accompagnement par les politiques publiques de
la transition vers une société bas-carbone et des changements importants en matière de styles de vie
ou encore des systèmes de production énergétiques, alimentaire et urbain liés.
L'objectif de ce module est de transmettre un contenu scientifique articulé autours des problématiques
de l'économie des changements climatiques qui couvre une diversité de domaines (systèmes
énergétiques, ville, eau, agriculture, usage des sols) ; de mettre en évidence les enjeux socioéconomiques du problème ; d'identifier les contreverses scientiques majeures et des besoins futurs de
recherche pour comprendre les mécanismes à l'oeuvre ; enfin de cerner les marges de manoeuvre et
des modalités éventuelles de l'intervention publique. Ce module vise également à donner aux étudiants
une vison intégrée des problématiques et des mécanismes qui sont au coeur de la transition vers une
société bas-carbone en privilégiant une démarche prospective. Une initiation modélisation prospective
énergie/climat (processus de décisions publics et privés) sera proposée. Il s’appuie à la fois sur des
ressources provenant du milieu des scientifiques-experts et sur des intervenants des sphères politique
et administrative
Conférences courtes d'un large ensemble de spécialistes du changement climatique, suivies de
séances de questions.
Contenu : Connaissances et incertitudes sur le climat, Enjeux et dommages potentiels d'un
changement climatique, les politiques climatiques.

Cette unité de valeur a pour objectif de faire découvrir ce qu’est concrètement la création d’une
entreprise. Des créateurs divers, y compris des entrepreneurs sociaux, témoignent de leur expérience.
Il s’agit aussi d'initier les étudiants aux outils et connaissances qui favorisent grandement le succès
d’une création, et de leur faire connaître les structures d’appui et les aides auxquelles un créateur peut
avoir recours.
La création d'entreprise permet de créer de l'emploi. Elle est un vecteur de la transformation de nos
économies à travers l'innovation. Les personnalités des créateurs sont diverses, mais souvent c'est le
besoin de mettre en oeuvre, de concrétiser une idée utile qui les anime et leur donne l'énergie
nécessaire.
- Notions et outils de base: entreprise, innovation, processus d'innovation, analyse de marché,
positionnement concurrentiel, propriété industrielle, positionnement dans la chaîne de valeur et
business plan. - Témoignages de créateurs d’entreprises qui exposent leur démarche, leur projet et
leur questionnement
- Un nombre réduit de cours pour initier aux notions et aux outils de base. - Plusieurs témoignages de
créateurs d’entreprises. Interviendront des créateurs innovants de divers secteurs économiques. - Un
travail en petits groupes sur certains des projets de création d’entreprise, à partir d’un questionnement
du créateur lui-même: réflexion sur l’une des problématiques du business model et formulation de
propositions. La problématique étudiée pourra relever de domaines variés : marketing, analyse
concurrentielle, stratégie industrielle, développement de produits, etc….
Des bases minimales en comptabilité d’entreprise seront utiles.
Les travaux des étudiants en groupes restreints, sur des thèmes donnés par les créateurs, font l’objet
de restitutions orales et écrites qui sont notées. En outre la présence en cours et la qualité de la
participation en séance sont prises en compte dans l'évaluation.

Contexte : La technologie sucrière met en oeuvre un grand nombre d’étapes (lavage des
betteraves, extraction du sucre par diffusion, épuration calco-carbonique des jus, concentration
par évaporation multiple effet, cristallisation multi-étagé, séchage des pulpes, production
d’électricité), avec un très haut niveau de technicité et d’automatisme et des capacités de

Penser dès à présent une gestion prospective de l’eau : maîtriser la ressource et sa qualité,
programmer une utilisation durable, partager entre les différentes activités économiques, gérer de
façon plus propre et économe les utilisations agricoles, réhabiliter l’environnement et les espaces (sols,
écosystèmes, zones écologiques, plans d’eau, etc.), limiter les effets des évènements catastrophiques.
L’enseignement cherche à délivrer, à partir de quelques bases théoriques, les éléments de
connaissance utile pour analyser les situations actuelles, pour prévoir, compte tenu des pressions
anthropiques, le sens des évolutions probables et finalement proposer des modes de gestion plus
durables
Contexte : compte tenu de l’augmentation de la population mondiale et de l’amélioration nécessaire
du niveau moyen de l’alimentation humaine et en général du niveau de vie, une situation de crise s’est
développée dans de nombreux pays et la plupart des zones continentales, où l’eau deviendra plus que
jamais une ressource commune limitée, souvent rare et de qualité de plus en plus dégradée. On
comprend donc qu’il soit nécessaire de partager et gérer collectivement cette ressource. Prendre
connaissance du cycle de l’eau, de ses évolutions anthropiques et climatiques à long terme, comme de
l’état actuel de nombreuses situations est essentiel
L’enseignement comprendra les principaux point suivants : • Les bases relatives au cycle de l’eau et à
l’évaluation des ressources renouvelables, dans un contexte régional donné et dans une perspective
de changements globaux. • Les bases d’une réflexion régionale comprenant la mobilisation de
ressources internes propres à la zone ou transportées d'une zone externe largement bénéficiaire, la
gestion des divers usages et leurs aspects socio-économiques : principalement la gestion de l’irrigation
à des fins de production alimentaire, les usages domestiques, les besoins environnementaux en
particulier dus aux divers systèmes écologiques. • Une analyse diagnostique basée sur différents cas
nationaux (Beauce, Coteaux de Gascogne,…) et internationaux (Mer d’Aral, Egypte…) • La
modélisation d’un large bassin (fleuve) avec diverses approches : (i) analyse et amélioration de la
qualité, et (ii) analyse, aménagement et gestion des risques. • Les aménagements de l’espace pour
maîtriser les ressources (qualité, quantité) et les risques (érosion, inondation,…)
L'enseignement est essentiellement fondé sur des conférences données par des experts dans le
domaine. Il s'agit pour la plupart d'experts nationaux ou internationaux.
Il n'y a pas de prérequis particuliers. Le module s'adresse aux étudiants qui souhaitent avoir une vision
large, combinant des sciences géopolitiques à des sciences plus techniques, pour comprendre la
complexité de la gestion de l'eau.

1/ présenter le contexte et les enjeux de l’imagerie spatiale
2/ développer les concepts et les méthodes d’analyse spatiale inhérents à la surveillance géographique
de l’environnement
3/ aborder les méthodes de traitement numérique et d’interprétation des données d’imagerie spatiale.
Contexte : Trente-neuf ans après le lancement du premier satellite civil Landsat, les engins
d’observation en orbite se sont imposés comme des outils indispensables de connaissance et de
protection de la planète. Google Earth, site d’information géographique en ligne, connaît un succès
remarquable qui repose sur la vulgarisation de l’imagerie spatiale. Les systèmes d’information dévolus
à la gestion des ressources naturelles, au géomarketing, à la gestion des risques, aux études d’impact,
gagnent à ce que la dimension spatiale, issue notamment de l’imagerie spatiale, leur soit ajoutée. La
maîtrise de l’information géographique est donc un enjeu majeur pour la surveillance géographique de
l’environnement et la réalisation des zonages.
• L’imagerie spatiale : historique, acquisitions, état de l’art. Acteurs de l’imagerie spatiale aux échelons
local, national et international. Bases physiques et comportement spectral des objets. La couleur, la
vision, les émulsions.
• Surveillance géographique de l’environnement : l’imagerie spatiale dans les systèmes d’information à
référence spatiale et sa répétitivité temporelle. Concepts et méthodes d’analyse spatiale. Mise en
œuvre des zonages. Validité des zonages, qualité des données et prise de décision. Les exemples
donnés seront variés, et en particulier relatifs à la gestion des ressources naturelles et agricoles : on
peut citer, notamment, le suivi du réchauffement climatique sur les régions de glaciers, la mise en
évidence de l’assèchement de la mer d’Aral depuis 1972, la surveillance des inondations, ou la
cartographie des risques d’incendies de forêts.
• Géotraçabilité. Définitions, enjeux et exemples.
• Traitement numérique des images, classifications, interprétations.
Cours, conférences, intervenants professionnels et/ou visites. Quiz d'évaluation formative en cours
d'UV. Acquisition des connaissances par la pratique : traitement d’une image satellitale avec l’un des
outils informatiques les plus récents (ENVI4.7®).

L'objectif de ce cours est de montrer comment l'informatique peut modéliser facilement et simplement
des aspects complexes du vivant.Pour cela, les étudiants auront à créer des petits programmes visuels
montrant par exemple la croissance d'un plante, l'évolution d'un ensemble de cellules artificielles, la
diffusion d'agents pathogènes, les mouvements de bancs de poissons ou de vols d'oiseaux, l'évolution
des espèces.La simplicité des programmes permettant d'engendrer une grande diversité possède une
relation forte avec la « beauté » de la nature. L’objectif de ce cours est d’introduire des concepts clés
de l’informatique : notion de code, de calcul, de récursivité, de compétition, de diffusion sur des
graphes, de mémoire, d’apprentissage et d’évolution qui sont aussi des outils conceptuels puissants
pour la modélisation de nombreux aspects du vivant. Ce cours est donc un cours d’informatique destiné
à familiariser les futurs ingénieurs avec certains de ses concepts fondamentaux. C’est aussi un cours
destiné à faire expérimenter de nouvelles voies de compréhension des processus du vivant. En
informatique, tout calcul peut être considéré comme un processus d’interaction entre différentes entités,
de transformation et de production. Cette science permet d'aborder de très nombreux phénomènes
dynamiques. Parallèlement, le vivant est considéré comme étant fondé sur des codes et sur les
processus qui les utilisent dans un grand ballet de décodage, duplication, recodage, transformation,
évolution et interaction. Le but de ce cours est d'utiliser les concepts développés en informatique pour
revisiter et mieux comprendre, notamment à travers des simulations graphiques, certains des
processus du vivant : morphogenèse, génétique des populations, évolution des espèces, diffusion
d'agents pathogènes, adaptation individuelle et collective.

L'embryon humain est au coeur de nombreux enjeux pour la société : enjeux de santé lorsque
l'embryon in vitro permet de traiter l'infertilité ou d'obtenir des cellules souches, enjeux de
connaissances lorsque l'embryon devient modèle d'étude, enjeux éthiques. En outre, l'embryon animal
est également devenu un outil indispensable en sélection.
Grâce à l'intervention de chercheurs, médecins, juristes et philosophes, on dressera sous plusieurs
angles un état des lieux des biotechnologies appliquées à l'embryon humain et animal: procréation
médicalement assistée, cryoconservation, génotypage, cellules souches embryonnaires, voire clonage
et transgenèse. On s'interrogera sur les multiples enjeux de ces nouvelles biotechnologies.
L'UE apportera des connaissances biologiques tout autant qu'un regard critique sur ces connaissances.
Parmi les apports techniques : FIV, ICSI, cryoconservation, diagnostic pré-implantatoire, génomique
fonctionnelle appliquée à l'embryon, cellules souches, transplantation. Pour l'analyse critique : table
ronde autour de philosophes, juristes et acteurs de la recherche et de la réflexion bioéthique sur
l'embryon. .

Montrer l’intérêt de modèles animaux pour l’étude de pathologies humaines. Aborder les notions
d’épigénétique. Faire réfléchir à l’utilisation de l’animal par l’homme. Sensibiliser à des questions de
recherche d’actualité.
Contexte : De nombreux modèles animaux sont disponibles afin, d'approcher des états pathologiques
humains (diabète de type I, maladie d’Alzheimer, mucoviscidose, problèmes cardiovasculaires…), de
mieux comprendre leur étiologie, ou de proposer des traitements. L’utilisation de ces modèles pose
des questions éthiques.
Après une introduction générale sur les différents types de modèles animaux de pathologies humaines
(intérêts et limites), des exemples seront choisis chez les mammifères (rongeurs, ruminants, primates,
chiens…) et les insectes (drosophile), et seront illustrés à partir de conférences et de visites de
laboratoires en région parisienne. Les aspects éthiques et philosophiques seront abordés dans le
cadre d’une conférence et la réglementation sur l’expérimentation animale sera présentée.

Montrer, par une approche essentiellement expérimentale, la diversité des performances sensorielles
du corps humain et mieux appréhender les conséquences de cette diversité sur nos actes quotidiens.
Donner la possibilité de relativiser ces capacités humaines au regard du reste du monde animal.
Envisager l'évolution future de ces performances au regard d'ouvrages d'anticipation (science fiction) et
de découvertes et réalisations scientifiques récentes liées à ces prospectives.
Contexte : Tous les produits (alimentaires ou autres) que nous utilisons et consommons sont ressentis
et perçus par l'intermédiaire de nos systèmes sensoriels. Or, la diversité des performances sensorielles
du corps humain, qui est encore mal appréhendée par l'industrie, a des conséquences directes sur nos
actes.
L'enseignement repose essentiellement sur l'approche pratique et expérimentale des possibilités et
performances des systèmes sensoriels du corps humain.
Méthode : Cette approche expérimentale sera introduite par un nombre limité de cours-conférences et
sera complétée par un travail de recherche et d'analyse documentaire. Les étudiants seront répartis en
binômes et chaque groupe aura en charge l'approche et la réalisation expérimentale de deux
thématiques liées à la perception sensorielle. Les étudiants auront à choisir l'un de leurs thèmes
expérimentaux parmi une liste préétablie, l'autre thématique étant fixée au choix des étudiants après
validation par l'enseignant.

Les cours sont destinés à familiariser les élèves avec les connaissances récentes en neurobiologie des
systèmes sensoriels et cognitifs et les modèles théoriques développés pour décrire leur
fonctionnement.
Contexte : Les neurosciences bénéficient d'un effort de recherche considérable et les connaissances
évoluent très vite dans ce domaine. Ces connaissances ont un impact dans de nombreuses disciplines
proches des sciences de l'ingénieur, notamment en informatique et en robotique, et rejoignent des
interrogations scientifiques et philosophiques fondamentales (systèmes complexes, problème de la
conscience).
En prenant pour point de départ la connaissance du fonctionnement des systèmes sensoriels comme
l'olfaction, le goût et la vision, nous étudierons comment l'information est intégrée dans les centres
supérieurs du système nerveux central, en mettant l'accent sur les méthodes et les approches
expérimentales. Ces données expérimentales seront mises en perspective en explicitant quelques
modèles théoriques du fonctionnement du système nerveux central. Enfin, nous explorerons les
conséquences de ces connaissances sur les conceptions que nous avons de la conscience en
confrontant le point de vue du neurobiologiste avec ceux de la médecine et de la philosophie.
Méthode : Conférences et analyse de documents scientifiques
Les données de biologie sur le fonctionnement général du système nerveux seront rappelées en début
de module
Les élèves seront évalués sur la base de leur participation ainsi que de leurs réponses à un
questionnaire en fin de module.

There has been a dramatic development and specialisation of animal farming in Western countries.
Now that Europe is self-sufficient in agricultural products, society has changed in the way that it looks at
animal farming and its practice. In addition to the constant requirement for low cost animal productts,
the demands of consumers have diversified, amongst them: product quality, food safety, respect of
animal welfare, environment friendly agriculture, energy saving systems, protection of biodiversity, the
right to question the use of certain forms of biotechnology etc. are becoming more important. Moreover,
the animal occupies an increasing place in leisure activities and as a companion animal. Finally, the
use of genetic selection, cloning and the production of GM animals can improve production efficiency
and open the way for the use of animals in other domains (medicine and human health). Indeed, certain
species of farm animal are used as models for biomedical research.
Objectives
The objectives of this UV are, using selected examples:
- To illustrate the numerous roles of animals today and the new challenges in animal science
- To give basic information on the different aspects of animal production
- To acquire a basic animal science vocabulary
Programme to
be followed
Listed below are some of the subjects which could be presented (the list is not exclusive):
- The role of animals in a sustainable agriculture
- The role of animal products in human health
- Management of animal genetic resources
- Animal models of human disease
- Farm animal bio-security

Teaching methods
All the lectures and conferences will be conducted in English. The objectives will be achieved
through lectures given by English speaking AgroParisTech lecturers and conferences by guest
speakers. At the end of the UV, a mini-symposium (3 hours) will be held in which posters based on a
scientific paper will be presented by groups of students. Around 6 hours will probably be necessary to
design the poster (3 hours will be included in the time table).
Bon niveau d'anglais - A relatively good knowledge of the English language is required to follow this
UV.

L’objectif de cette UV est de comparer chez l’homme et chez l’animal les différents processus
d’homéostasie permettant à l’organisme de s’adapter à des situations particulières ou critiques, telles
que les situations d’effort, de synthèse intense ou de la sous alimentation et du jeûne. Dans ces
situations la disponibilité des substrats devient limitante par rapport aux besoins et leur valorisation
ainsi que leur distribution doit être optimisée. Certaines stratégies nutritionnelles sont alors susceptibles
de favoriser cette optimisation.
Contexte : Les phénomènes d’homéostasie concernent différentes fonctions et métabolismes. Ils sont
particulièrement importants à considérer dans le domaine de la nutrition de l’homme et des animaux en
raison de leurs nombreuses implications physiologiques, pathologiques et zootechniques. L’objectif de
cette UV est de comparer chez l’homme et chez l’animal les différents processus d’homéostasie
permettant à l’organisme de s’adapter à des situations particulières ou critiques, telles que les
situations d’effort, de synthèse intense ou de la sous alimentation et du jeûne. Dans ces situations la
disponibilité des substrats devient limitante par rapport aux besoins et leur valorisation ainsi que leur
distribution doit être optimisée. Certaines stratégies nutritionnelles sont alors susceptibles de favoriser
cette optimisation.
Les thèmes suivants seront abordés : Dynamique digestive et mise à disposition des nutriments
(monogastriques, polygastriques) ; Nutrition et efforts (chiens de traîneau, sportifs de haut niveau,
treck....) ; Epargne et déposition musculaire : de l’alimentation au dopage ; Adaptation à une

Dans les sociétés industrialisées, le consommateur est de plus en plus exigeant en ce qui concerne la
qualité des produits qu'il consomme et notamment la qualité organoleptique à laquelle il est confronté
en premier lieu. L'aliment, outre ses propriétés nutritionnelles, hygiéniques, de service, doit aussi
présenter certaines caractéristiques sensorielles, qu'il soit destiné à une alimentation de festivité ou à
la consommation courante. En outre, les qualités sensorielles ont un rôle dans le déterminisme des
préférences qui vont varier suivant les consommateurs (adolescents, adultes...). La connaissance des
mécanismes qui déterminent la perception sensorielle et des méthodes d'évaluation de cette
perception est donc indispensable pour appréhender la qualité d'un aliment voire ses débouchés.
L'objectif de ce cours est une sensibilisation à la problématique de la qualité organoleptique des
aliments.
L'enseignement, de caractère pluridisciplinaire, s'effectuera sous forme de cours, de conférences par
des intervenants extérieurs et de travaux pratiques.
Le programme comprendra :
- une présentation des bases physiologiques et psychologiques de la perception
- une introduction théorique aux différentes méthodes utilisées en analyse sensorielle
- une sensibilisation à la dégustation et une mise en pratique de quelques techniques d'analyse
sensorielle
- l'examen d'autres méthodes (ex : mesures physico-chimiques) d'évaluation de la qualité

Contexte : Les caractérisations d’un produit alimentaire sont définies, pour une large part, à
partir de propriétés de structure et de descripteurs sensoriels. Elles ne se limitent donc pas à
de simples paramètres de composition. Une approche rationnelle de l’élaboration d’un produit
nouveau s’appuie sur l’établissement préalable d’un cahier des charges, compilation d’un
ensemble de caractéristiques de structure et de texture notamment que l’on se fixe comme
autant d’objectifs à atteindre. Cette approche est également utilisée pour établir les bases du
contrôle de qualité ou pour copier un produit existant.
Présentation des différents types de structure des matériaux alimentaires selon les familles de
produits, ingrédients et procédés utilisés. Cas concrets menés dans le cadre de l’horaire
réservé à l’enseignement :
- Etude bibliographique : chaque binôme traite le cas de la structuration d’un produit type (par
ex : sauce salade, fromage frais, produit extrudé, pâte à pain…)
- Travaux expérimentaux : fabrication d’un produit au laboratoire (par ex : génoise, crème
dessert) et discussion sur la contribution de chaque ingrédient et des différentes étapes du
procédé de fabrication sur la structuration.
Méthode : Cette UV d’initiation est largement basée sur les travaux pratiques (9h) et sur le
travail personnel et l’étude, principalement descriptive, de cas (7 h).
Documents utilisés : Planches du cours introductif, poly de TP, résumés F et GB des exposés +

Some ideas change the world. They change Society, they change Technology, they upset commonly
accepted knowledge, they challenge common sense.The following prophecy of Laplace (An essay the
Theory of Probability, 1814) is now known to be disputable :We may regard the present state of the
universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment
would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is
composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in
a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for
such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its
eyes. In to-day language, this means that you can know all the laws and all the practical initial
conditions, the future will obstinately remain hidden. Bye bye determinism ?
The limited predictability of Science is one emerging idea of the latest century ; it is mainly due to
Poincaré. This renouncement is at variance with the long lasting construction of Science along the
centuries, out of magic and out of mythologies,Most of us, following Leucippus and Democritus are
convinced that future events are univocally determined, on the one hand by past and present events
involving the interaction between atomic entities, on the other hand by the laws of nature. Predictability
is, in principle, without limit, as convincingly demonstrated by Newtonian Mechanics. Uncertainty, then,
refers to uncertain knowledge of Nature. These paradigms have been exploded by two major
revolutions.
1. At atomic scales, unpredictability is an intrinsic property of Nature, as we understand it today.
Quantum Mechanics is the theory which describes such a surprising result. From Quarks to Galaxy
clusters, its predictive power seems without limit. We shall introduce the major ideas of this theory
including the hybrid nature of quantum objects, and we shall describe its major social and technological
issues.
2. The ideas and the applications of Non-linearities, leading to Chaos, have spread in many
disciplines, giving an universal character to this new grid for reading our universe. Quantum mechanics
is more ordered than Classical Mechanics, since it cannot, at least in principle, be chaotic. Solving a
quantum problem is, basically, computing probabilities. On the other hand, simply stated problems of
Mechanics just cannot be solved exactly, whatever your effort, if you are a human being and whatever
your power if you are a computer. You have to be a daemon with unlimited knowledge.
3. It is remarkable that structurally simple systems can exhibit a profusion of complicated behaviours
and, reciprocally, that Complex Systems can exhibit an overall behaviour simple to describe. The
identification and the description of the evolution of a given system are at the origin of active research,
ATHENS November 2012

important progress and substantial application, including control. Complexity tells us that
unpredictability emerges also from the multiple iteration of simple rules. Here, predictive computation is
just impossible, the only thing you have to do is to run the real process.
4. Is there a link between those three subjects ? Perhaps ; who knows ? Some people think that physical rules are an illusion, you just need stupid automata, with local meaningless rules to perform any
computable job.The aim and the deal of the session are to introduce the audience into these ideas, in
an operational manner (see the grading criteria, which have been successfully tested).

Everyone negotiates on a daily basis, but what about doing it responsibly? Faced with projects,
contracts, conflicts or crises, coping with people, problems and process, how can negotiators lever the
right reflections and actions? How can they optimize utility for themselves and for others? This course
provides concepts, observations and suggestions to improve analytical and operational negotiation
skills; but it also addresses negotiation foundations on how to do first things first, i.e. how to make the
right moves at the right time in order to reach the right decisions and to achieve proper implementation.
Negotiators can model the right moves. They can ensure quality relationships, before any other action,
putting people first. They can structure an effective process before and during problem solving. They
can prepare before meetings and debrief afterwards, managing the mandate and implementing deals
with principals and teams. Their communication can further information sharing and common
understanding, with active listening and questioning to increase empathy, before active speaking and
persuasive arguments to assert their needs. If cooperation prevails, negotiators can also enlarge the
pie for more joint value – economic, social, etc. –, before capturing their fair share. Members of this
class will embark on a common reflection on how to act as more responsible negotiators.
Increasing awareness about negotiation responsibility to achieve fair deals and settlements.
Becoming better analysts of negotiation, theirs and others’.
Assessing their personal negotiation
approaches.
Giving themselves general objectives for improvement.
Improving relationships,
with subordinates, peers, superiors, and all stakeholders.
Broadening their negotiation
repertoire.
Furthering the cause of peaceful resolution and coexistence.
Crafting better deals
and contracts.
Learning how to really learn from experience.

L’évaluation du cours sera faite sous la forme d’un travail de commentaire d’articles de presse sur un thème en
lien avec le contenu du module.
"
Cette activité est composée de 5 unités indépendantes, mais liées entre elles. Le caractère universel de
l’ensemble des matières abordées (de l’économie à l’anthropologie en passant par l’écologie et l’agriculture) limite
forcement leur approfondissement. En revanche, il n’est pas toujours évident pour ceux qui se sont spécialisé
dans un domaine particulier, de percevoir et de distinguer clairement quels sont les liens, voire quels sont les
relations de cause-à-effet entre leurs thématiques et d’autres matières apparemment très différentes et éloignées.
En guise d’illustration nous ne citerons que trois ou quatre exemples :
- Pourquoi les campagnes pour la protection de l’environnement des Nations Unies incluent de plus en plus des
actions de lutte contre la pauvreté ? Quelle est la relation pauvreté-environnement ?
- Quel est le rapport entre les subventions agricoles octroyées par les pays industrialisés à leurs agriculteurs et la
production de drogues dans certains pays du sud ?
- Le commerce international stimule ou affaibli le développement économique et/ou l’environnement local ?
- -Quelle est la relation entre la législation fixant les conditions de tenure des terres et l’environnement (sols,
érosion, couverture végétale) ?
- La production des biens et de services suffit-elle à développer un pays ? Quel est le rôle des mesures visant la
distribution (partage) des bénéfices parmi la population ? Ce partage se fait de la même façon dans une
communauté pré-capitaliste (ex : villages quéchuas des Andes) que dans une société salariée (ex : banlieue de
Toulouse ?
Il est important de percevoir ces cinq modules Nord/Sud comme faisant partie d’une activité transversale et
polyvalente.
Transversale car une même problématique va être déclinée à partir de divers approches
Polyvalente car nous ferons appel à des disciplines et des compétences très différentes et variées pour
comprendre des réalités qui apparaissent isolées.
Il est clair donc que les étudiants qui s’intéresseront à ce module ne devront pas s’attendre à devenir économistes
du développement ou anthropologues des sociétés rurales d’Afrique . Ce ne sera pas non plus le lieu pour ceux
qui, étudiant l’environnement, le droit ou l’agronomie, voudraient discuter les subtilités juridiques ou techniques
fines du Protocole de Kyoto ou voudraient approfondir les nuances de la nouvelle PAC.
Une fois cette mise au point étant faite, nous pourrions résumer l’intérêt de ces modules disant qu’ils apportent
une lecture et une analyse cohérente et intégrée à des problématiques spécifiques, souvent présentées de façon
éparse et sans rapport entre elles.

COURS EN PARTENARIAT AVEC l'Ecole des Ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris (EIVP)
La résilience est la capacité d’un système à se remettre d’une perturbation par un processus de récupération,
reconstruction, remise en service.
La résilience urbaine est la capacité d’une ville à faire face à un évènement potentiellement destructeur en
minimisant les dommages subis. L’histoire montre que la ville est un système qui présente des capacités de
reconstruction importantes après un évènement destructeur (incendie, cyclone, inondation, tremblement de terre).
On examinera les concepts de vulnérabilité, de robustesse et d’adaptabilité pour aboutir à celui de résilience. La
question de la mesure de la résilience urbaine sera examinée avec des notions de magnitude maximale de l’aléa
et de durée de retour à l’équilibre.Différents types de risques seront examinés : inondations, perturbations
climatiques, mais aussi les risques sociaux tels que le terrorisme.Les formes physiques de résistance des
bâtiments, des quartiers et des services publics seront étudiées en particulier dans le cas des inondations.Les
intervenants sont issus du monde académique et du monde professionnel.

COURSE IN PATNERSHIP WITH AGROPARISTECH ENGREF
Presentation of a few contrasted cases of territorial organisation and management formulas, and
information about attempts by managers and reflections by academics on sustainable strategies. For
each country or group of countries we will try to find out what are the main drivers of sustainability
among the 4 following dimensions: - long term asset renewal and maintenance - environmental and
health concerns - consumer equity and social tariff issues - new forms of governance needed.
Now that water services are quasi-universalised in most European countries, elements of a new crisis
appear, with the need for long term maintenance of a heavy and costly infrastructure, but with no more
subsidies; this leads to serious price increases, in addition to the general inclusion of sewage collection
and treatment in the water bill. Urban stormwater management, the attempt to control agriculture diffuse
pollution in well head areas, and flood control, lead large cities to reconsider their relationships to water
resources, and to try to replace technological solutions by territorial ones. Last but not least, the new
trend in water consumption decrease, which appears in numerous cities, adds up to the sustainability
issue: if it develops too fast, recipes do not match expenses and the financial balance is threatened. .
Representatives from water management in Europe will be there.

Polymers have a major influence on our lifes. It is almost impossible to mention a field which is not
affected by polymers. The development of polymers has helped the industry to offer new and high
performance materials such as composites, biopolymers…
The use of these materials requires a rich and deep knowledge about the properties of the different
types of polymers involved in the manufacturing of industrial parts: Physical, thermal and mechanical
properties.In this course we try to provide our young European Engineers with this knowledge.
During this course different aspects will be developed:

Innovation is a process that is nurtured and not the outcome of a decision. Innovation has more to do
with the special relationship with one’s environment than to the use of a management toolbox.
Therefore, in order to boost the creativity of his/her teams, a manager must reflect first on his/her own
personal creative process. The goal of this course is to discover the path that leads from fundamental
creativity (individual) to applied creativity (producing ideas in teams) that ultimately fuels a genuine
innovation culture.
The seminar will tackle the following topics: How to promote creativity : individually, in a team.
How the brain works; impact on the creative process, Fundamental and implied creativity: attitude
and development, Applied creativity: basics on ideas production techniques, (e.g.
diverging/converging, CPS process®), Mind Mapping as a booster, Fertile questioning as an
enabler, Innovation culture – how to seed innova[c]tors,
Educational methods: Numerous exercises and experiments, individually, as a whole team or
in sub-teams, relation with the background (e.g. cognitive sciences), extensive reference to nonverbal communication and use of one’s fives senses.
Prerequisites
Course exam
The course will be held in English.

The evaluation mark will take into account two criteria: level of personal involvement in exercises and
experiments, a written exam (a mind-map of the learnings of the week)

Minimum: 5, Maximum: 25, Reserved for local students: 0
The aim of this course is to give an introduction to usual methods developed in Geostatistics and in
Mathematical Morphology to model and to simulate random sets and functions (scalar and
multivariate).
These models are useful in many physical situations with heterogeneous media, for which a
probabilistic approach is required. We can mention for instance problems of fracture statistics of
materials, the composition of permeabilities in porous media, scanning or transmission electron
microscopy images (including multispectral images), rough surfaces or multicomponent composites,
but also some biological textures. On a more macroscopic scale, these models are used in the case of
orebody deposits, of oil reservoirs, and even to simulate some data in astronomy. They also generate
textures to be used for image coding and synthesis. The common feature of these random structures is
their domain of definition in R3, or even in Rn (with n > 3), which requires the use of more general
models than standard Stochastic Processes
The main topics of the course are as follows :
- introduction to the theory of random sets,
- models of random space tesselations, boolean random sets and functions, space-time random sets
and functions (dead leaves and alternate sequential models, reaction - diffusion).
The courses detail the construction of models, their main properties, and their use from experimental
data by means of examples of application.
A large part of the course is based on training by means of software Micromorph developed in CMM.
Structure of the course : Five full days in a single week. Lectures (50 %) and practical training on PC
computers (50 %).
The daily course programme can be consulted some ten days prior to the course, please see :
www.ensmp.fr (under the link , Ingénieurs civils).
Prerequisites
Course exam
The dates of this course are 19 au 23 November 2012.

Objectives
Polymer processing represents a growing economic activity. Polymer parts (films, tubes, profiles,
bottles, various injection-moulded products for automotive industry or domestic appliance…) require
mechanical, optical, barrier properties. The objective of the course is, first, to present the main
thermoplastic polymers and their forming tools, then to provide the main rheological, physical and
mechanical insights which govern the processes, and finally to apply these knowledges to the most
popular polymer forming processes (extrusion, injection, blow moulding…).
Programme to
be followed
This course is devoted to students who are interested both in material physics and modelling and who
want to improve their knowledges on polymer and polymer forming. We will focus on what is original in
structure, properties and forming processes of polymers when compared to other of other materials
Summary : Thirty slots : lectures, experiments, exercises
- Economic and technical aspects of polymer industry
- Rheology of molten polymers
- Amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers, crystallization kinetics, orientation
- Thermal phenomena in polymer forming
- Experimental and theoretical investigation of extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulding
- Basic principles of polymer processing modelling
- Mechanical properties of polymers
Half of the courses will consist in experimental practice: rheology, mechanical properties,
crystallization, injection moulding, blow moulding
Prerequisites
A detailed program will be available on the Mines ParisTech web site ten days before the course
period.
This course needs prerequisites in continuum mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics and

organisation et planification industrielle, ordonnancement, juste-à-temps, simulation, outils de
la qualité, maintenance, outils de la logistique, ERP, APS,...
2. Compléter cette initiation à la gestion industrielle et à la logistique par une analyse concrète de
mises en oeuvre par des industriels ayant mené des expériences significatives et par des
consultants internationaux qui valident ces méthodes.
Le cours est articulé en trois grandes parties. Dans un premier temps, le cours aborde les grandes
décisions stratégiques et tactiques en matière de gestion de la production : choix de « sourcing » ;
décisions relatives à la capacité; puis à l'organisation de la production. Le cours traite ensuite des
principes de planification de la production et de l’ordonnancement. Enfin la dernière partie du cours est
consacrée aux approches de productivité (kanban, smed, qualité...) et à la gestion de la chaîne
logistique. Dans la mesure du possible, les situations sont illustrées par des vidéos ou des simulations.
Le cours est assuré par des enseignants chercheurs de Mines Paristech, mais également par des
intervenants industriels, des professeurs de Business School et des consultants de haut niveau.

L’objectif de cette introduction à la gestion des risques est de sensibiliser les élèves à la complexité de
l’évaluation et de la gestion des risques, en vue:
- d' acquérir des formalismes de base et des éléments de réflexion sur le rôle de l’ingénieur :
responsabilité, retour d’expérience, aide à la décision, expertise et négociation, initiation aux méthodes
d’évaluation des risques,
- de s’initier à l’analyse des risques, par l’étude de questions d’actualité, de catastrophes passées, de
""cas d'école"" en compagnie des acteurs de la gestion des risques,
- d' appréhender la globalité de la gestion des dangers et sa complexité liée à la présence de différents
niveaux d’organisation : politique et stratégie du risk management, management Hygiène, Sécurité,
Environnement, Audit, Retour d'expérience...
Ce cours a pour origine les recherches conduites au sein du CRC des Mines ParisTech et l’expérience
d’ingénieurs qui ont fait des sciences des risques leur métier. Il est aussi le reflet d’acteurs de la
gestion du risque au quotidien. Il se propose d’ouvrir l’accès à un domaine prometteur, en faisant la
part des fondements, des méthodes et des indications sur les questions ouvertes.
Programme pédagogique :
L’enseignement se déroule sous forme d’une période bloquée d’une durée de cinq jours. Il comprend,
pour l'essentiel, des cours magistraux et une visite de site. Outre des enseignants-chercheurs des
Mines ParisTech, le cours fait appel à des intervenants extérieurs.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are required in capital expenditure, to build and develop projects such oil
fields and mines, electric power stations, satellites and telecom, auto-routes and bridges. In return,
revenues are highly uncertain. For natural resources such as oil and metals, they depend on
commodity prices that fluctuate wildly. Over recent years, the price of crude oil has risen from about
$10 per barrel to $135 while gold has risen from $250 to over $1500. Similarly even if tolls can be fixed
for new auto-routes, it is difficult to predict the traffic.
From a financial point of view, borrowing the funds as a corporate loan would be problematic. Small
companies do not have the cash-flows to provide the guarantees required; large companies prefer to
develop the projects off their balance sheets in order to keep their ratings high and their interest rates
low. This has led to the development of non-recourse project financing.
These types of projects are characterised by high capital expenditures, long loan periods (often 10 - 20
years) and uncertain revenue streams. Analysing them requires a sound knowledge of the underlying
technical domain as well as financial modelling skills. This is why engineers play a leading role in
project finance - both in industry and in banks.
Please note that the course does not cover market finance or corporate finance (mergers &
acquisitions) etc
Programme to
be followed
The aim of this course is to introduce students to non-recourse finance in general and to show them
how it is applied in several important domains :
*0
- Mining & Petroleum
*1
- Satellites & Telecom
*2
- Infrastructure
*3
- Power generation
Speakers from industry and from banking will present case studies, from different points of view. As
many of the projects are based in developing countries, the special problems of working in these areas
will be addressed. A presentation on credit export agencies will cover this topic.
The daily course programme will be available about 10 days prior to the course, please see :

Students should be interested in industry as well as finance. Those who have a laptop computer are
requested to bring it.
During the course, students working in small groups prepare and deliver a powerpoint presentation in
English on a topic related to project finance. Afterwards, they are given a 2 week period after the end of
the course to submit a written report in English or in French. Marks will be based on the report content
and level of understanding of the subject.

This course will focus on three important concepts of Optimization and Computer Science
theory : linear programming (LP), graph theory and dynamic programming (DP). Its aim is to provide
ATHENS students with a solid background in Operations Research so they can tackle real problems in
the industry. The domain of applications is spreading from planning, to logistics, from routing and
inventory control to revenue management.
After a two days "crash-course" in operations research that will focuss on fondamental concepts and
techniques, we will work with them on 6 test-cases that can be found in Airlines or Transportation
companies, Telecommunication companies, Services and commodities. The goal is then to give some
very concrete exemples of "real-life" problems, the way to solve them, and the addede-value for
businesses.

Motto: “Prediction is very difficult especially of the future” ( Niels Bohr)
The objective of this course is to answer the following questions:
What is software reliability?
Why are the statistical methods necessary?
How do you measure and predict the software reliability?
A computer is a deterministic machine - why can’t we predict when it will fail next ?
If software is such a problem why not build it in hardware?
There is evidence that defects have their origin in design errors. It becomes difficult or impossible to ensure that
software contains no faults. The software reliability is currently a very sensitive area in telecommunications for
example the introduction of new services.
The course presents opportunities in the field of prediction of software reliability and the tools allowing to
characterize the accuracy and quality forecasts.
Various methods and techniques that we approach based on collected data: the software reliability growth models,
statistical tests, among which trend tests (graphic and statistics methods).
The course is focused on practical applications using software reliability toolkits on real world projects.
Programme to Day 1: Key features of software systems; Trustworthy software; Software Forensics.
be followed
Day 2: Operational profiling and reliability modelling; Measuring software reliability.
Day 3: Models for analysis of the software reliability growth; Reliability of Web services.
Day 4: Reliability assessment; Evaluation of software reliability predictions.
Day 5: Accuracy and quality of forecasts; Capabilities and limitations; Unanswered Questions; Case
studies.
Exercises: The students will experience teamwork. Project: Development of a software project by teams

Les choix énergétiques doivent prendre en compte l'ensemble des impacts sur notre environnement: épuisement
des ressources naturelles, rejets thermiques et polluants, sûreté d'exploitation et risque industriel.
Plus largement, les décisions concernant nos modes de production et nos manières de consommer sont à
partager avec l'ensemble des parties prenantes de la société civile. Elles doivent répondre à leurs attentes et
s'inscrire dans une logique de Développement Durable.
La question des choix énergétiques doit donc intégrer à la fois les performances des filières et des procédés,
l'inventaire des ressources, des besoins et des impacts, l'étude des stratégies possibles et, en perspective, les
pistes pour le long terme.

"Nanotechnologies are promised to a bright future, according to many analysts throughout the world. ""There is
plenty of room at the bottom"", as prophesied by the famous scientist Richard Feynman at the occasion of his
Nobel lecture in 1965. Indeed there are 7 orders of magnitude to gain in objects size when descending from the
millimeter length easily accessible to humans, to the sub-nanometer details of atomic structures. Triggered by this
visionary speech, a major research effort has then been carried out towards the shrinking of objects, and towards
their observation. This has resulted in very much progress especially in the last two decades, both in theoretical,
experimental (instruments) and engineering areas. This has come to the point that nanotechnologies are now
considered to be the next main development step for our economies, bringing perspectives similar to those of
silicon electronics in the sixties.
The course mainly adopts the “bottom-up” approach, which consists in starting from microscopic properties of the
matter at the atomic or molecular levels, and using these properties for structuring and exploiting nano-objects
towards a variety of goals. Beyond a pure academic motivation, the course intends to make students “touch and
feel” both the close or distant promises of nanotechnologies in terms of real world applications, and the technical
difficulties to attain these goals. It will be delivered by researchers from the French leading laboratories in
nanotechnologies.
"Monday morning: Introduction to basics physics knowledge of structure and dynamics in crystals
Monday afternoon: Introduction to nano-structures and their dynamics
Tuesday morning and afternoon: Quantum point devices ; carbon nanotubes ; Coulomb blockade ; tunnel effect
microscopy ; molecular transistors
Wednesday morning: Nanophotonics ; photonic band structures ; optical microcavities
Wednesday afternoon: Visit of a Nanotechnology Laboratory: nano-objects characterization techniques and
instruments ; nanolithography ; nanofabrication …
Thursday morning and afternoon: Interactions between magnetic moments (spins) ; origin of magnetism,
nanomagnetism in engineered multilayers ; giant magnetoresistance ; application to magnetic storage ; spintronics
Friday morning and afternoon: nano-objects ; fabrication of semiconductor quantum dots ; epitaxial growth ;
nanofabrication and nanostructuring
Prerequisites
Undergraduate knowledge in general physics (magnetism and electricity,
mechanics, geometrical and physical optics, thermodynamics), and a basic culture
of quantum mechanics and atomistics (wavefunctions, Schrödinger equation,
Heisenberg relation, photons, electron spin…)
Course exam
The students will analyse one given subject in the area of nanotechnologies from
either the scientific or the application point of view (choice), and write a short report
of their understanding and their view about the importance and the perspectives of
this subject. They will be given a reasonable delay to deliver their report after the
end of the course.

Nous étudierons comment l’évolution des théories physiques impose des transformations à notre
conception du monde, que ce soient des « découvertes philosophiques négatives », pour reprendre
l’expression de Maurice Merleau-Ponty, au sens où les résultats scientifiques peuvent rendre
caduques certaines métaphysiques, ou de manière positive, quand la science fait émerger des
questions inédites. La philosophie doit donc réviser constamment sa méthode pour demeurer
contemporaine des sciences de son temps.
La première partie du séminaire sera consacrée aux fondements philosophiques de la physique
quantique actuelle, la deuxième partie à la philosophie des techniques et de la technologie, et la
troisième partie aux questions éthiques que soulèvent les nouvelles technologies, en particulier les
nanotechnologies et la biologie de synthèse.
La seconde partie sera consacrée, d’une part, aux fondements philosophiques de la physique

Ce cours est une introduction à la mécanique spatiale. Il donne les équations de base du mouvement
d’un satellite en orbite autour d’une planète ou d’une sonde dans le système, ainsi que les équations
principales de rotation des planètes. Les applications principales de ces équations sont présentées par
des spécialistes du domaine : représentation de trajectoires, analyse et optimisation de missions
spatiales (y compris débris spatiaux, et mise en évidence de chaos sur le très long terme), structure et
rotation des planètes et petits corps du système solaire. Quelques notions sur le droit spatial sont aussi
abordées. Selon les demi-journées, la semaine se déroule sous forme de cours magistraux, conférences,
ou Travaux Dirigés avec utilisation de logiciels dédiés.
Some lectures are given in English, but not all of them.This lecture is supposed to be a general
introduction to space mechanics. It provides the equations of motion of an artificial satellite flying the
Earth, or of a s/c orbiting in the solar system, as well as the baselines of the planets and small bodies
rotation theories. Several fields of applications are then presented in the framework of an industrial or
academic context : parameters to be optimized for space agencies, theoretical parameters to be
estimated by scientists… The week is made up of a series of academic lectures, conference-like
lectures, and exercices to be completed all together.

Complex systems are collective entities composed of many similar agents. Though the
interactions between agents are too complex to be described, their collective behaviour often obeys
much simpler rules. This is known for economy, but it is also observed in evolutionary selective
processes, in human social networks and in insect societies. The objective of this course is to describe
some of the laws that rule emergent behaviour and allow to predict it.
Les systèmes complexes sont composés de nombreux agents à peu près identiques. Bien que
les interactions entre agents soient bien trop complexes pour être décrite, leur comportement collectif
obéit parfois à des lois parfois simples. On le vérifie dans les processus d’évolution par sélection, dans
les réseaux sociaux, chez les insectes sociaux ou dans les phénomènes économiques. L’objectif de
cet enseignement est de décrire les lois qui permettent de prévoir et d’utiliser les comportements
émergents.
Programme to
be followed
An ant colony can find the shortest path in a complex environment; a species can solve complex
adaptation problems; economic agents may spontaneously reach a locally optimal allocation of
resources. Simple individual acts, in each case, produce non-trivial results at the collective level.
These observations constitute a rich source of inspiration for innovative engineering solutions, such as
optimization using genetic algorithms, or message routing in telecom networks.
The emergent behaviour of complex collective systems often goes against intuition. Its dynamics can
be described through non-linear models that predict sudden transitions. Emergence is best apparent
during those transitions. Its study consists in accounting for the appearance of collective patterns when
133
ATHENS November 2012
individual, generally simple, behaviours are given as input.
The main techniques studied in this module are:
- Genetic algorithms, in which a virtual population evolves and collectively adapts to a particular
problem or to a new environment.
- Swarm intelligence, as a model of natural phenomena and as a class of collective algorithms. They
are used to address problems in which adaptability and robustness are essential.
- Emergence of phenomena like morphogenesis, cooperation, segregation through symmetry breaking,
and emergence in social networks. We show how these different models can be applied to concrete
problems, such as message routing in communication networks, optimal antenna location or the
emergence of communication.
The notion of emergence is formally defined, as well as concepts like punctuated equilibria, scale
invariance, implicit parallelism and autocatalytic phenomena.
The pedagogy consists in alternating lectures and practical work on machines. Students can modify the
software platform that is provided to them, study emergent phenomena by themselves and develop
their own personal project.
Prerequisites
Course exam
Students who attend this course will be fluent in procedural object-oriented programming (Java, C++,
Python or equivalent). They will get some knowledge of Python by themselves before the Athens week.
Students will be evaluated based on the following tasks:
- Small reports on Lab work sessions
- Small open question quiz
- Design of a small personal software project during the last practical work session.

act as a manager in an international environment regardless of the particular field. In general, each
class will be divided into two parts. First, a discussion of a particular management skill (negociations,
presentations, meetings, team-building, time management, etc.) then students will have the opportunity
to practice the management technique learned, usually in small groups. Each student will be required
to participate in a small group project, putting into practice the various techniques and resulting in a
short business presentation in front of the class.

Objectives
Quantum entanglement is the basic ressource for the future quantum relays or repeaters. The objective
of this course is to acquire a thorough understanding of this concept from the theoretical definition to
the practical implementation of entangled photons states, using non linear optics and to see how it can
be used in various quantum communications devices.
Programme to Basic quantum physics
be followed
Entanglement, EPR paradox, Field quantization, beamsplitters
Introduction to nonlinear optics (second order nonlinear phenomena)
Entangled photons: polarization, time-energy, time-bin
Physical implementation of entangled photon pairs sources
Quantum teleportation, entanglement swapping
Quantum cryptography protocols using entangled states
Two experiments in IOGS:
1) Quantum coalescence of identical bosons : two-photon interference effect using pairs of identical
photons produced by degenerate spontaneous down-conversion.
Identical photons can exhibit a very strange property: when they enter a different input port of a
balanced beam splitter, they leave the beam splitter through the same output port. This effect, can be
understood as a two-photon quantum interference between two possible paths taken by the photons.
The contrast of the interference signal is a measurement of the degree of indistinguishability of the light
particles. Recent proposals for the building of a quantum computer rely on the ability to produce
indistinguishable photons and rely on this so called HOM interference.
2) Quantum mechanics non locality test: violation of Bell's inequalities using polarization entangled
photons produced by spontaneous down-conversion.
The famous EPR paradox about completeness of quantum mechanics raised by Einstein, Podolsky
and Rosen in 1935 [1], initially seen as a philosophical question, became a physical problem when
John Bell published an article in 1964 suggesting that it was possible to actually test the hypothesis of
local hidden variables [2]. It took ten more years before an experimental implementation of the test
could be conducted by Clauser et al. [3], and a little more before a clear and widely accepted
demonstration of the Bell's inequality violation, by A. Aspect et al., at Institut d'Optique [4]. This test is
now routinely used in labs to measure the quality of entanglement, a fundamental ressource for
quantum information processing and communications.

The OEC2 (Optical Ethernet for Cloud Computing) course aims to investigate
two major evolutions observed in current carrier’s networks, namely:
- The convergence between Ethernet switching and optical transparency
- Resource virtualization inherent to Cloud Computing.
This modules concludes by three prospective aspects:
green networking, smart-Grid and radio resources virtualization.
The TPT20 ATHENS cursus is dedicated to the evolution of carriers' networks
in the perspective of
Cloud services provisioning.
As an introduction, the technological and commercial evolution of carrier's
networks
around the year 2000 is outlined. The progressive replacement of the ATM and
SONET/SDH technologies
by optical switching and Ethernet layer-2 formatting is justified. Two
killer applications
will require for the next ten years an
increase of the end-to-end network capacity and flexibility: HD-TV and Cloud
services.
The limits of xDSL technologies being pointed out, the various approaches
considered for optical access
are presented. The aim of this module is then to provide an overview of the
principles of Cloud Computing, mainly
based on the concept of resource virtualization. Storage Area Networks (SAN)
today widely deployed
can be seen these as a first approach of Cloud service.
Thanks to the contribution of several speakers from industry, the
impact of Cloud Computing on private data-centers hardware and software
configuration and usage is investigated.
It is also outlined how the multi-tenant nature of Cloud Computing induces
the specification
of new business models.

Instituto Superior Técnico Lisboa (IST)
Since its creation in 1911, Instituto Superior Técnico is the largest and most reputed school of Engineering, Science,
Technology and Architecture in Portugal. At IST, we aim to give our students and alumni the education and the knowledge
tools to improve, to change and to shape society through science, technology, and entrepreneurship. We provide top quality
higher education, strongly exposed to Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) activities, immersing our students in an
exciting and global environment geared towards solving the challenges of the XXIst Century.
Education
Within the context of its main function, IST’s objective is to provide a thorough basic training in Engineering, Science,
Technology and Architecture, which, allied to the acquisition of a wide range of social and human skills, enables its graduates
to act as agents for change and innovation in society. The intention is to provide education in line with the highest international
standards, meeting the needs of society in general, and of the economy in particular. Under the Bologna Process, the
programmes are organised into integrated five year Master’s degree courses or into courses organised into two successive
cycles conferring, respectively, a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree (three + two years).
IST offers a diversity of PhD programmes, covering a large spectrum of scientific areas, from the traditional to the emergent
ones. Some of the programmes are offered in association with national and foreign universities, in some cases granting a dual
or double degree. IST PhD students actively participate in national and international research projects, are motivated to patent
their innovative research results and stimulated to take an entrepreneurship attitude.
Research, Development and Innovation
Research at IST is organized in centres and institutes that pursue challenging research programmes and address problems with
a strong societal impact. These areas are often intertwined together and many centres work in multiple areas, crossing domains
of competence and application. Research programmes range from long-term initiatives to more applied research with the
involvement of industry.
Research goes hand in hand with advanced training where the research component is carried out in one of the research centres.
Many of those centres address multidisciplinary research and host an international and multicultural environment.
Links with Society and Internationalisation
IST’s faculty members and researchers are involved in some of the most prestigious RD&I and technology transfer institutions
in Portugal, such as IPFN (Nuclear Fusion), ISR (Robotics), IT (Telecommunications), INESC-ID (Systems Engineering and
Computers), IBB (Biotechnology), LAETA (Energy, Transports and Aeronautics) and IN (Nanotechnologies). Participation in
these institutes is an important mechanism for establishing links with the business and scientific world.

KU Leuven
Faculty of Engineering Science
History
KU Leuven dates back to 1425, but its Faculty of Engineering Science is of course much younger. From 1864 on, a Special
Engineering School was established within the Faculty of Sciences. In 1961, it became an independent Faculty.
The bilingual university was split into two parts in 1968. The Dutch speaking part stayed in Leuven. The French speaking part
moved to the new U.C.L. (Université Catholique de Louvain), 30 kilometres away. Both sister universities have prospered and
expanded.
The KU Leuven Faculty of Engineering Science now is a knowledge centre in the ‘Humbolt’ University tradition : the teaching
is based on research, or : those who produce knowledge also teach it. The Faculty roughly counts 180 professors, 30 post-docs
and 500 research students. Together they teach to about 2500 students.
The Flemish Interuniversity Micro-Electronics Centre (IMEC) is situated on the same campus, as is the Innovation and
Incubation Centre from which more than 20 spin-off companies have been launched.
Teaching
The Faculty offers (Dutch or English spoken) Master courses in the following fields: Architecture, Chemical Engineering,
Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering.
The Faculty offers a number of complementary courses and advanced postgraduate Master degrees.
Engineering and technology evolve rapidly. The Faculty therefore initiates and co-operates in many continuing education
projects with other universities and with professional societies, also in an international context.
International Dimension
The Faculty has definitely gone international. The Faculty of Engineering Science at the KU Leuven is one of the founding
members of CESAER, the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research.
The Faculty is involved in joint projects with research centres and private companies world-wide. Research is funded by
regional, national and European authorities and by private companies in Belgium and abroad. The Faculty participates in all
important European research programmes. It participates in many programmes for student and staff mobility both within
Europe (Socrates) and with North American universities. It welcomes Ph.D. students from developing countries through KU
Leuven and/or VLIR/ABOS projects and scholarships.
Student Life
The KU Leuven students are represented in most of the university and Faculty advisory boards. Student associations are wellorganised and very active. The old streets of Leuven are an ideal setting for a bustling student life. All year round, the KU
Leuven and the city of Leuven organise many scientific, cultural and popular events. The geographical situation of Leuven, in
the heart of Europe, facilitates the connection with Paris, London, Delft, Aachen, … By train, these cities are only a couple of
hours away.

Technische Universität München (TUM)
The Entrepreneurial University, a Synonym for Technical Progress,
"... to teach the exact sciences and their applications in all branches of higher technology … [and] … to pass on the vital
spark of science to the industrial world."
Carl Max von Bauernfeind, Director of the Royal Polytechnic School of Munich in the inaugural lecture on December 19,
1868
The TUM can trace its actual origins to the independent 'Royal Polytechnic School' founded by King Ludwig II in 1868. In the
years since its foundation, during which time Bavaria underwent far-reaching structural changes from agriculture to
technology, the TUM has made noted contributions to engineering and science.
The TUM has produced a large number of leading scientists and engineers. The liquefaction of air by Carl von Linde (1895),
the invention of the diesel engine by his student Rudolf Diesel (1897), the discovery of the structure of hemoglobin by Hans
Fischer (1930 Nobel Prize for Chemistry), the discovery of recoil-free gamma-ray resonance absorption by Rudolf Mößbauer
(1961 Nobel Prize for Physics), and the establishment of organometallic chemistry as a field of science by Ernst Otto Fischer
(1973 Nobel Prize for Chemistry) stand for a large number of pioneering inventions and discoveries made at the TUM.
Munich, Garching, Weihenstephan - The TUM Campuses
Today the TUM is divided into 13 faculties with 475 professors (of which 250 are chair holders at the university and in the
teaching clinics) 9.302 employees and approximately 31.023 students. The core university areas, namely the Faculties of
Architecture; Civil Engineering and Surveying; Electrical Engineering and Information Technology; Economic and Social
Sciences; Medicine; Sports Science and TUM School of Education are all situated at the Main Campus in Munich, the location
of the University Management and central administration offices. Freising, a town 30 kilometres north-east of Munich, is the
location of the Weihenstephan Campus and the Center of Life and Food Sciences, which in turn is home to seven research
departments (Basic Biosciences; Plant Sciences; Animal Sciences; Ecology; Ecosystem and Landscape Management; Food
and Nutrition; Biogenic Products and Technology of Land Use) and six teaching departments (Bio Sciences; Agricultural and
Horticultural Sciences; Forestry Science and Resource Management; Landscape Architecture and Landscape Planning;
Nutritional Science and Ecotrophology, and Brewing and Food Technology). The TUM also operates a research campus in
Garching, a town on the north-east outskirts of Munich, some 15 kilometres away from the main campus. The Faculty of
Physics, the Faculty of Chemistry and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering have settled down in Garching around the
university's research reactor (FRM I). The Faculty of Mathematics and the Faculty of Informatics are located at Garching. A
new research neutron source, known as FRM II, was completed at the campus in 2001.
In order to open TUM for more international students, various TUM faculties have introduced English taught bachelor's and
master's courses, whereby one example concerns the Master's Program in Industrial Chemistry offered by Singapore's German
Institute of Science and Technology, which is run by a TUM subsidiary.

History & organisation
Louvain University, founded in 1425, is one of the world's oldest universities. Its history is inseparable from the intellectual
development of Europe and the turbulent political changes that accompanied it. In 1970, the university split in two distinct
institutions. One, KULeuven, Dutch speaking, remained in the Flemish city of Leuven. The other, UCLouvain (formerly
known as UCL), French speaking, made its home in the newly created town of Louvain-la-Neuve, 30 Kilometres South, in
Wallonia. The two sister institutions, UCLouvain and KULeuven, have close links and cooperate in many fields. UCLouvain is
a fully comprehensive university, where about half of Belgian French-speaking university students graduate. Engineering has
been taught at Louvain since the late 19th century. UCLouvain is structured in 11 faculties: Theology and Canon Law, Higher
Institute of Philosophy, Law, Philosophy and Arts, Psychology and Educational Sciences, Medicine, Sciences, Engineering,
Bio-engineering Agronomy and Environment, Architecture.

Ecole des Ponts ParisTech
(Formely Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées - ENPC)
The corps of Engineers of Ponts et Chaussées (Bridges and Roads) was created in 1716. In 1747 the Royal Council issued a
decree setting up a specific training programme for State Engineers which was entrusted to Jean-Rodolphe Perronet. In 1997,
the Ecole des Ponts celebrated its 250th anniversary.
During the XVIIIth century, teaching was carried out by the most outstanding students in the Institute who took their fellow
students in hand and passed on to them their knowledge and skills. After the French Revolution, the Institute built up a
teaching faculty and adapted its curriculum and teaching methods to the latest developments in science and technology. Its
doors were open to new categories of students, including non-civil servants and foreigners. Among its graduates from this
period are famous scholars and engineers such as Cauchy and Navier and later Fresnel, Becquerel and Bienvenue; all of them
helped contribute to the remarkable advances made in France during this period in transport and infrastructure networks.
During the 1980’s and 90’s changes in the curriculum have given students more choices : in addition to the traditional courses
in Civil Engineering, Urban Planning and Regional Development, students also have the possibility of choosing options in
related fields such as Industrial Engineering, Computer Science Environmental Studies, and Economics. Students also do a
wide range of practical training periods in government and industry, which provide them with professional experience and
open the path to a wide variety of careers : graduates from the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech can be found in all major areas of the
