GREEN CHEMISTRY:

Project leader: Pascal DUMY
Component: ENSCM

PhotoBetDEUM: PHOTO reactor and BET for the implementation of sustainable chemistry Practical work at UM and ENSCM

Project leader: Pascal DUMY
Component: ENSCM

Summary: Training our students to meet the challenges of ecological transition is imperative and requires changes to our Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in Chemistry and Engineering. The PhotoBetDEUM project involves the acquisition of two devices (a photoreactor and a sorption system) to address two decarbonization issues. These will enable us to offer projects ranging from organic synthesis to materials, using eco-efficient processes. In this way, we will prepare our students to be proactive in addressing ecological challenges in the chemistry sector and to propose sustainable solutions. The PhotoBetDEUM project aims to be inclusive by bringing together the training needs of the Fds and ENSCM.

EDPP: Sustainable Education Park at the Perpignan site

Project leader: Agnès PERRIN-DOUCEY
Component: Faculty of Education

Summary: The aim is to adapt the training site to water stress and global warming in order to preserve an attractive and environmentally responsible place of study and work. Through this entry, the project aims to be an educational demonstration: a demonstration of an innovative schoolyard, an incubator for open pedagogy, and a meeting place for teachers, future teachers, and their trainers. The creation of this space should enable the training site to be opened up to a network of exchanges.

SEZU: Small-scale Wind Energy System for Urban Areas

Project leader: Jean-Michel MARIN
Component: Faculty of Science

Summary: The project aims to develop a low-power vertical-axis urban wind turbine connected to the electrical grid on the Triolet campus. This multidisciplinary project primarily draws on expertise in mechanics (manufacturing the support structure, optimizing the conversion of kinetic energy from the wind) and electricity (developing a high-performance generator/converter unit). System supervision (SCADA for "Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition") is also a central element of the project.

ECOFORUM: (Training in Ecological Transition at the University of Montpellier) – Environmental assessment of biodiversity, air quality, and climate change for training in ecological transition at the University of Montpellier

Project leader: Jean-Michel MARIN
Component: Faculty of Science

Summary: The ECOFORUM project aims to implement innovative educational resources within the Faculty of Science to promote student learning on ecological transition issues through the collection and analysis of meteorological and climate data, air quality data, and biodiversity monitoring using dedicated equipment and methodologies. This data will also contribute to the reputation of the University and research through participatory science.

CP-REC-4.0: Production Line 4.0 that RECycles materials

Project leader: Moulay Said EL YOUSSOUFI
Component: IUT (University Institute of Technology) of Nîmes

Summary: The project is part of an initiative led by the GEII, SGM, and GMP departments at the University Institute of Technology (IUT) in Nîmes. These departments are combining their expertise to design a production line dedicated to training BUT students, incorporating material sorting and recycling processes, all orchestrated by Industry 4.0 advances. With the demonstration project presented here, our ambition is to go beyond student training and build a flexible, open, and accessible information tool. The target audience will be middle school, high school, and college students, as well as industrialists.

IPTECH: Instrumentation of educational technology platforms for measuring environmental impacts

Project leader: Lionel TORRES
Component: Polytech

Summary: In the context of strengthening our position with regard to TEDS issues, the objective of this project is to equip several educational technology platforms with an IoT (Internet of Things) infrastructure dedicated to measuring flows, in order to be able to quantify environmental impacts. This project is therefore dedicated to: (i) installing sensors on each experimental device (connected workstation) to determine its electricity and fluid consumption and gas emissions, and (ii) interfacing them to display data in real time. The Materials Hall at Polytech Montpellier and the IUT in Béziers will be the first to be equipped and will serve as pilot sites: the approach will then be rolled out to the School's other platforms and associated components.
