Training sheet
Présentation
This program aims to train structural reliability, monitoring and maintenance specialists in the field of offshore renewable energy (ORE). At the end of this program, you will be able to use and quantify the added value of non-destructive testing techniques and SHM methods applied to offshore structures.
The program is completely online.
You will first acquire the scientific and technological knowledge necessary to prepare the second part of the training. Then , you will conduct a project/internship in a company or an academic research lab, for example in one of the partner universities Nantes Université (NU), Aalborg University (AAU), Norwegian Science and Technology University (NTNU) or in their network, and have the opportunity to develop the practical experience necessary to your future career. You will also participate to online peer-learning activities to enrich your
knowledge.
The Master programme is accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (2nd year of master Mechanichal Engineering). After completion, students will be awarded a master degree delivered by Nantes Université.
