Sustainable development and executive education

The programmes on offer are designed to develop the expertise and professional skills of working executives and engineers seeking scientific and managerial development, as well as those undergoing retraining. Centrale Nantes' Executive Education offers courses on a variety of themes: from specialised training days to structured courses lasting several months.

Engineering for ecological transition

Marine Renewable Energies

Centrale Nantes offer Executive Education modules within the WEAMEC (West Atlantic Marine Energy Community) framework, dealing exclusively with the growing MRE (Marine Renewable Energies) sector; from preliminary studies to project and park engineering, from machine engineering to the deployment of technologies:

• fixed wind turbines
• floating wind turbines
• tidal turbines
• wave power
• ocean thermal energy

These actions contribute to SDGs 7, 9 and 13. 

Decarbonisation of maritime transport

Faced with regulatory changes and environmental challenges, players in the naval sector must adapt and innovate. Wind propulsion solutions offer a promising path towards decarbonisation, harnessing a free and renewable resource.

Centrale Nantes offers a unique training programme to master the technical, economic and environmental challenges of sail propulsion applied to modern ships. 

This course contributes to SDGs 4, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14 and 17

Low-tech

Centrale Nantes provides training to support companies wishing to initiate or reinforce their ecological transition by rethinking the ways in which they use and produce in order to make them more useful, accessible and sustainable. The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the low-tech approach so that they can rethink the way their company is organised, from a strategic, economic or technological point of view, while fostering links with the local community.

Executive education and disability

Centrale Nantes Executive Education is committed to studying all avenues for accommodating people with disabilities in its training programmes.
