CIRCUIT

In order to limit the impact of climate change, it is imperative to reduce CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere. With this CREATE program, CIRCUIT plans to have CO₂ become a renewable resource by helping industries to develop carbon neutral processes while training the next generation of high qualified personnel.

Our Students

Coming from different backgrounds, CIRCUIT students are highly motivated. The requirements of the program are high and they will have to complete several courses, training sessions and webinars in addition to being involved in the governance of the program. They will be faced with some interesting challenges and will have to try to solve, in part, the beautiful puzzle of using carbon in industrial processes.

Program Components

Industrial Internships

Together with our industrial partners, we work to find motivating and relevant internships for students in the program.

Courses

“CO₂, a scientific and social perspective" is a course specially developed for the students of the program to know the global challenges related to CO₂.

Webinars

Always with the motivation to train highly qualified personnel in the field of CO₂ utilisation, students will be able to attend webinars on new breakthroughs.

Professional Training

With the training modules developed specifically for CIRCUIT, students will be able to acquire skills they need for an industrial career. The five main skills targeted by the program are: creative thinking, communication, management, entrepreneurship and ethics in knowledge transfer.

Summer School

CIRCUIT organizes a summer school every year to allow members of industry, academia and students to share ideas on how to meet the challenges of CO₂ utilization.

Outreach Activities

CIRCUIT members will be able to participate in various scientific outreach activities. Indeed, we are developing collaborations with established groups specializing in the popularization of science in order to share the knowledge acquired within the CREATE program.
