School of Engineering: new course in energy engineering To meet the challenges of energy transition and sustainability, the School of Engineering has created a Master’s degree in Energy Engineering. This multidisciplinary course covers the technological aspects of energy production, conversion, transport, distribution and storage, as well as its rational use in buildings and transport. Questions are also put into perspective in relation to the energy market, regulatory constraints, geopolitical issues and the challenges of sustainability. Grégoire Léonard, G.Leonard@uliege.be HEC Management School ULiège: training leading to certification in calculating the Bilan Carbone® (carbon footprint) All students at HEC Liège are required to attend skills workshops during their course, an original teaching method that takes the form of 16 hours of face-to-face lessons in small groups, and which makes use of soft skills. Through this scheme, and as part of a partnership agreement between HEC Liège and ABC (Association pour la Transition Bas Carbone, Paris), a workshop was devoted to the Bilan Carbone® certification course. The ability to draw up a certified carbon footprint is a skill that is increasingly in demand from companies. Students learned how to calculate greenhouse gas emissions using the international standard ISO14064-1 and how to use a certified spreadsheet to produce a Bilan Carbone® in a professional environment. Throughout the academic year, 26 Master’s students and 14 students on the Environmental Management continuing education course took part in this workshop. Joseph Smitz, j.smitz@uliege.be Faculty of Medicine: Cycle of lectures on Sustainability and Transition Made up of academic, scientific and administrative staff and students, the Faculty of Medicine’s Sustainability Unit (CDFM) aims to raise students’ awareness of sustainability issues in healthcare. Since 2022-2023, the CDFM, as a steering committee open to faculty initiatives, has been organising, in collaboration with Eclosio, a series of conferences on transition, sustainability and health with experts from ULiège and elsewhere. In 2023-24, it organised two lectures. One by Dr Karolien van den Brekel (Positive Health International) on the theme of «Positive Health», focusing on the person, resilience and the meaning of life rather than on illness. Dr Sébastien Bohler’s talk focused on the neurocognitive and behavioural challenges of social and ecological transition.
