Last December 7, the AREVA Nuclear Engineering Chair was inaugurated. The event follows up on the announcement of AREVA's sponsorship of the ENSTA ParisTech class of 2011 and of ENSTA Paris Tech's contribution to the International Nuclear Energy master course. Clearly, the distinguished graduate school is carving out its place in the field of nuclear energy.
The Nuclear Engineering teaching and research Chair is part of partnership signed between the ParisTech PRES (Center for Research and Higher Education) and AREVA. The partnership has also led to the creation of the Nuclear Materials Chair at the ParisTech Ecoles des Mines. The new Chair will enjoy the expertise of the world's number one nuclear energy company and the extensive research on the fuel cycle and nuclear engineering conducted at the ParisTech Chemistry, ParisTech ENSTA and ParisTech MINES schools.
