E4C - Centre interdisciplinaire Energy4Climate

The Energy4Climate (E4C) Interdisciplinary Center is involved in the energy transition through research, training, and innovation.

Nearly 30 laboratories work within E4C on four cross-cutting themes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, deploy renewable energies, and propose relevant energy policies.

The center's activities are developed by its researchers in collaboration with stakeholders from the socio-economic world. They combine social and economic sciences, materials science and engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, and geophysics. The center develops instrumental platforms, models for energy forecasting and prediction, and a data center: the E4C DataHub.
