The European Master in Sustainable Systems Engineering (EMSSE) is a 2-years integrated program (120 ECTS credits) involving 4 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across Europe (France, Italy, and Spain) and Western Balkans (Albania), aiming for a wide and in-depth education process on Systems Engineering (SE) topics and perspectives, related to both industrial applications and research investigations. A special focus is given on sustainable systems engineering that are efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, that is considering the environmental, economic, and social impacts of a system before and during its design, operation, and maintenance. The EMSSE consortium will involve 4 full partners (all involved in a Double Degree network which constitutes a precursory scheme for the EMSSE project), 1 official associated partner and 9 associated industrial partners. The involved HEIs are: University of Technology of Compiègne (UTC, EMSSE Coordinator), France, University of Genoa (UNIGE), Italy, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Spain, Polytechnic University of Tirana (UPT), Albania. EMSSE consortium also includes AISE-INCOSE as associated partner, and 9 other industrial partners in the 4 countries of HEIs are joining EMSSE: Renault, Saint Gobain, Voltalia, Orange, Savoye, Ikerlan, Delmon Group, CEA, Leonardo. EMSSE has been conceived with the aim of funding and supporting Master students’ mobility for 4 editions, enrolling 132 students in three specific paths, getting a joint degree, within an international educational framework ad-hoc designed to enhance the quality of education in SE, by sharing and exploiting knowledge of HEIs and enterprises involved in the field. A further objective of EMSSE consists in gathering the excellence in SE research across Europe and disseminating it towards partner countries, with special focus on Western Balkans, thus paving the way for cultural exchanges.
