Jean-Pierre Favennec Professor at IFP School

Energy-related challenges are at the heart of present issues in our societies. Growth of demand in emerging countries, technological and environmental challenges, and the essential aim of sustainable development will be your areas of concern.

Ten years ago, energy used to be plentiful and cheap. It had become quite expensive, before the current economic crisis brought about a reduction of prices. However, anyone can feel that this situation is temporary. The bulk of our energy consumption still remains dependent upon fossil fuels. Resources are limited, and carbon dioxide emissions provoke climatic change.

Energetic transition is an unavoidable must. Priorities are energy efficiency, vehicles with lower consumption, buildings better insulated, more efficient industrial processes.

The purpose of this Executive master, called «Energy and Global Policies», is to provide specialists and managers in the energy sector or any related sector with a thorough knowledge about basic mechanisms and the technical, legal, and financial aspects of energy. It is important that these elements be integrated into a political and geopolitical dimension, so that participants are led to take them into account during their decision-making processes.

By combining the savoir faire of Sciences Po’s professors on the world political scene with the expertise of IFP School (a reference for research and training in all sectors related to the field of energy), the Executive master “Energy and Global Policies” is a unique think tank which provides personalized monitoring and professional support in a resolutely international perspective. ”
