Objectives

E-PiCo+ is a 2-year International Master programme devised to train students in the field of electric propulsion with its control, to be future experts in Electric Vehicles (EVs). It will provide technical and scientific solutions for making EVs:
 
  • More affordable whilst ensuring high standards of safety and reliability
  • Providers of electricity in the near future
  • More accessible by transforming ICE-conventional based vehicles to EV (Retrofit)
By doing so, the students will be at the forefront of the global energy transformation. The E-PiCo+ master's programme is thus aligned with the world's growing need for EVs (in industries, infrastructures, etc.) and trains future EV experts capable of dealing with the energy transition. The programme is fully taught in English and implies mobility within a minimum of two countries among 4 EU and 1 outside EU institutions.

Label of excellence

The Master programme in Electric Vehicle Propulsion and Control (E-PiCo) welcomed its first intake of students in September 2020, under the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master label. In July 2024 the programme was renewed as E-PiCo+ for a further four cohorts from 2025-26. This call for Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters' programmes is very selective.
 

E-PiCo+, International Master in Electric Vehicle Propulsion and Control, is an integrated Master’s course designed and conducted by partner institutions sharing a common vision of EVs:
 
  • Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France
  • Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany,
  • Università degli Studi dell’Aquila, Italy
  • National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest, Romania
  • Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Mexico
These 5 full partners form the E-PiCo+ consortium. In addition, more 20 associated partners (universities and industrials) around the world complete the network. Find out more about the E-PiCo+ partners here.
