Energypolis Campus fosters synergies across disciplines, stimulates innovation, and paves the way for new approaches to addressing major societal challenges. It brings together expertise in sustainable chemistry and CO₂ valorisation, in design and optimisation of energy systems, in climate change analysis, and in life sciences.
Green Chemistry & CO₂ Valorization
The Campus is a hub of excellence in sustainable chemistry, where new processes are being developed to transform carbon dioxide into useful resources: synthetic fuels, bio-based polymers, and high-value molecules. The goal is to close the carbon cycle through advanced technologies and reduce industry’s carbon footprint.
Energy Systems Engineering
Scientists on the Campus design and optimize integrated energy systems: smart grids, energy storage, green hydrogen, next-generation heat pumps, and industrial energy efficiency. The approach is systemic : combining renewable production, demand flexibility, and digital technologies to maximize resilience and sustainability.
Climate Change, Polar & Alpine Environments
The Campus serves as a scientific observatory of global warming’s impacts on glaciers, the cryosphere, and alpine ecosystems. Research programs measure glacier melt, carbon fluxes in mountain soils, and natural hazards (floods, landslides). These studies provide a scientific foundation to anticipate and adapt society to environmental transformations.
Health and Life Technologies
Life sciences are at the heart of the Campus, with applied research in biotechnology, health, and agri-food. Teams develop innovations in medical diagnostics, biomaterials, cell therapies, fermentation, and microbial processes, with strong potential for industrial transfer. The objective: improve quality of life while respecting sustainable development principles
