The PERSEE Centre
PERSEE (Procédés, Energies Renouvelables et Systèmes Energétiques) is a leading centre in the Energy Transition field. Our teams have been pioneers in low-carbon technologies for over 40 years and cover a broad range of research, from nanomaterials to energy systems.
Our project combines academic excellence and research for the benefit of industry and society.
Our research themes
The Centre’s integrated approach is based on three core themes. The aim of our research is to develop solutions designed to improve the energy efficiency of systems and promote the integration of new energy technologies and low-carbon energies into the future energy mix.
Our ambition is to contribute to the electrification of different sectors and the decarbonisation of society, with a view to reaching European climate targets.
Key contributions and excellence in several domains
Research groups
Our team is organised into three research groups: Materials and Processes for Energy (MATPRO), Thermochemistry and Plasmas (TeP), and Renewable Energies and Intelligent Energy Systems (ERSEI).
Hydrogen is one of the common threads in our groups. We combine our skills to work on challenges like low-carbon hydrogen production (electrolysis, photoelectrolysis, methane pyrolysis), electrochemical conversion (fuel cells) and integration (in energy systems, territories, etc.).
Training and education
The PERSEE Centre is mainly involved in three types of training: our PhD program, our Renewable Energies (ENR) international specialised master’s degree, and Mines Paris civil engineering programme.
We offer our students top scientific training in an attractive setting at Sophia Antipolis, as well as numerous connections with leading academic and industrial players. Our teaching and research staff are recognised for their first-rate supervision and close work with their doctoral and master students.
