  • Utilise data to understand the complex interactions between environmental factors, the economy, and social dynamics while exchanging ideas with fellow researchers.
  • Practice methods and applications related to climate change, biodiversity, mobility, and societal impacts.
  • Learn how to visualise, analyse, and extract meaningful insights from large environmental datasets using computer science and machine learning tools etc.
  • Better understand urgent issues such as carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, public health impacts, and inequalities through quantitative methods.
  • Gain hands-on experience with data collection methods in applied research, including remote sensing, experiments, and sensor-based monitoring.

E4C (Energy4Climate) is an interdisciplinary centre of Institut Polytechnique de Paris. The Summer School is co-organized by the Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST), a joint research unit of CNRS, École Polytechnique, GENES, and Institut Polytechnique de Paris.
