Objectives
This Msc program is operated jointly by CentraleSupélec for the University of Paris-Saclay and by the École des Ponts (co-accredited establishment). It benefits from teaching support from the IFP School.

This program, part of the Masters specialty "Economics of environment, energy and transport"  responds to several motivations: In the field of transport, the current revolution requires executives trained in economic aspects, and particularly executives with dual skills, engineering and economics.

 Implementing the ecological transition in the field of transport and mobility requires advanced technical skills for logistics, peak pricing, smart mobility, energy management, requiring a high level of qualification in the quantitative areas. The challenge of decarbonizing the transport sector, which remains extremely dependent on oil, relies on both engineering and economic skills associated with the options available to achieve this transition. It also requires a detailed empirical knowledge of the sector, a global vision of life cycle analyzes and other eco-balances, including their indirect and global effects, as well as skills in other areas of the economy (management of territorial conflicts, negotiation, etc.).

The primary objective of this course is to offer training dealing with all the questions of economic modeling on the subjects of transport and mobility, but also more global issues, societal, climatic and natural resources (biodiversity) through economic aspects, with an analytical dimension and a prospective dimension. Graduates must have the skills to design strategies to address mobility challenges and energy, land use planning and environmental challenges, particularly with regard to climate change, land take, water pollution and air and the transition to a carbon-free world. They must be able to integrate these strategies into production, service, consulting and finance professions. They must also have the scientific knowledge enabling the most motivated to integrate private and public research. Fundamental research-oriented courses will provide the conceptual and theoretical elements to achieve these objectives. Thematic courses targeted on practical issues and their management in various sectors (new energies, smart mobility, etc.) allow students to integrate different professional environments with the perspective necessary to exercise a management role.

Post-graduate profile
The skills acquired at the end of the training include the ability to: analyze the environmental, climatic, food and energy issues surrounding transport and mobility; model and quantify an economic phenomenon (econometrics, operational research, simulation methods); analyze the markets (supply and demand) as well as the technological and financial aspects of the sectors concerned; understand and apply the concepts of needs analysis and project management; carry out and interpret prospective studies, using the necessary methods and software; develop a multi-criteria analysis method in the development of strategic intervention choices; know how to put project management and risk management tools into practice; organize the coordination of actors in order to make the proposed solutions operational; understand the mechanisms and institutions at work in public policies and negotiation strategies; develop original research projects by mobilizing empirical knowledge of the sector and cutting-edge analysis tools from the academic discipline.
