With more than 1,600 employees and a plus 300 million EUR budget, the IFP Energies Nouvelles is one of the leading players in energy innovation in France.
“In many respects what we do in my department is similar to what is done at CERE, for instance within thermodynamics, EOR, geology, geophysics, and other fields. Thus it is highly beneficial to cooperate,” says Dr. Pascal Mougin of IFP Energies Nouvelles.
“To give an example, I just learned today that CERE is initiating a project very similar to one we are about to start. Both parties can gain from coordinating the academic background core for the experiments. Another joint activity is the exchange of students. We have had a few exchanges and are looking forward to more.”
