Presentation

In a context of industrial transformation, composite materials are emerging as a driving force, providing innovative solutions. Their lightness, exceptional strength and adaptability are revolutionizing not only product design, but also manufacturing processes. From aerospace to automotive, from energy to infrastructure,  their ability to reconcile performance and environmental responsibility makes them essential choices in the quest for more sustainable, environmentally-friendly industries.

At the heart of this industrial revolution, IMT Nord Europe’s Master in Eco-Design and Advanced Composite Structures (EDACS) is committed to training tomorrow’s professionals, equipped with the expertise to understand composite materials in their entirety, from life cycle management to environmental impact assessment in a context of ecological transition.

The curriculum of this master’s program is also “composite”, in line with industrial realities and their need for specialized skills. On the technical side, students of this master in composite materials work in project mode with all the resources of IMT Nord Europe’s laboratories to experiment with composites development on a real scale: technology platform, digital resources, IT cluster… Expertise complemented by training in management and project management via a semester at Institut Mines-Télécom Business School, our academic partner.
