Open to all PSL students, regardless of their home institution or academic path, the PSL Week allows each participant to :<\/p>\n
Discover new disciplines<\/strong> and emerging fields of study<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Customize their academic journey<\/strong> with targeted learning modules<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Access a broader and richer educational offering<\/strong> within the PSL ecosystem<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n During this week, students can choose from three types of modules :<\/p>\n Exploratory modules<\/strong>, to open up to a new field<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Interdisciplinary modules<\/strong>, to develop cross-cutting skills<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Advanced modules<\/strong>, to deepen expertise in a specific domain<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This year, ISIGE \u2013 MINES Paris \u2013 PSL<\/strong> contributed with two high-level modules focused on sustainable development, environmental innovation<\/strong>, and eco-responsible design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Led by Thomas Beaussier<\/strong> \u2013 agronomist, PhD in Environmental Economics, and researcher at ISIGE \u2013 this module brought together 52 students<\/strong> from various PSL institutions.<\/p>\n Understand and interconnect the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss<\/strong>, and natural resource management<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Explore the economic, social, and environmental dimensions<\/strong> of land use sectors and biomass-based industries<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Learn to apply technical, economic, and environmental analysis tools<\/strong> to production and consumption systems<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Engage in interdisciplinary group work<\/strong> on real-world case studies, addressing the political and social controversies<\/strong> surrounding these systems<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This module offers a comprehensive view of how bioeconomy and ecological transition<\/strong> can be aligned, and trains students in systemic thinking and decision-making under complexity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Jointly developed by Jasha Oosterbaan<\/strong> (ISIGE \u2013 MINES Paris \u2013 PSL), Franck Aggeri<\/strong> (MINES Paris) and Alexandre Fougea<\/strong> (designer at ENSAD), this second module welcomed around 30 students<\/strong> with backgrounds in design, engineering, and management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Provide a cross-disciplinary approach<\/strong> to eco-design<\/strong>, bringing together theory, practical tools, and real-world applications<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Build knowledge around Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)<\/strong>, creative design processes, and low-impact innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Facilitate team-based, project-driven collaboration<\/strong> between engineering and design students, in partnership with sustainable companies such as Lagoped<\/strong> and the Coop\u00e9rative Mu<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n A highlight of the module was the presentation of an eco-designed outdoor jacket<\/strong>, demonstrating:<\/p>\n The added value of design thinking and creativity<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Technological and ecological innovations integrated into the garment<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n The economic viability<\/strong> of sustainable fashion<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A significantly reduced environmental footprint<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This pedagogical experience exemplifies how creativity, technical expertise, and environmental responsibility<\/strong> can be combined to address contemporary sustainability challenges.<\/p>\n PSL Week is a unique opportunity to cultivate interdisciplinary collaboration and prepare tomorrow\u2019s leaders in sustainable innovation. At ISIGE \u2013 MINES Paris \u2013 PSL, we are proud to contribute to this collective momentum toward a more resilient and environmentally responsible future.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":2576,"template":"","actualites-formats":[15],"actualites-thematiques":[20],"class_list":["post-2573","actualites","type-actualites","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
