i-MESC is an ambitious, unique and much needed 2-years MSc. program aiming to prepare and guide, in the most complete and
efficient manner, the next generation of professionals to the new challenges of the energy field. i-MESC offers a highly interdisciplinary
curriculum, covering scientific and technological knowledge about electrochemical energy storage and conversion at multiple scales
(from the materials to the devices). The program has a major focus on batteries, and also covers supercaps and fuel cells, from multiple
angles, such as materials synthesis, devices manufacturing, advanced characterization, artificial intelligence and digital twins. The
program also includes practices in the laboratories and in the pilot lines of the i-MESC consortium. i-MESC curriculum also offers
complementary soft skills, such as project management, communication, ethics and integrity, preparation to professional interviews,
intellectual property and start-up creation. Innovative pedagogic methods based on Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality and the metaverse are
implemented and deployed to maximize the engagement and learning efficiency of the students of the complex concepts involved in the
electrochemical energy storage and conversion field. i-MESC gathers internationally recognized academic leaders with complementary
expertise from four European countries, USA and Australia, all with very strong connections with industry. The consortium will be
complemented with invited scholars from other (academic and industrial) institutions who will be delivering lectures and trainings on
specific topics. i-MESC will recruit around 36 students and 8 scholars per year from all over the world. The expected results from i-
MESC include the successful training of highly qualified individuals with strong interdisciplinary skills needed to raise the production
capacity of energy storage and conversion technologies toward the European Energy independence.
