The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master RESCO – Renewable Energy and Sustainable Construction is jointly delivered by five European universities that combine excellence in engineering, construction, and renewable energy. Together, they offer a unique programme designed to train professionals capable of designing sustainable infrastructures for a greener future.
Founded in 1782, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) is one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious technical universities. Located in the heart of Budapest, it combines centuries of academic tradition with a strong commitment to innovation and research. With over 20,000 students, including a large international community, BME plays a central role in advancing engineering education in Europe.
The Faculty of Civil Engineering stands out for its excellence in structural mechanics, building materials, and digital technologies for the built environment. Students benefit from cutting-edge laboratories and a teaching approach that blends theory, experimentation, and practical application.
In the RESCO programme, BME welcomes students for their first semester, focused on the fundamentals of civil and structural engineering. The courses provide a solid scientific foundation while highlighting how engineering principles can contribute to more sustainable, efficient, and resilient infrastructure.
Located on Spain’s Atlantic coast, the University of A Coruña (UDC) was founded in 1989 and has grown into a leading institution in engineering, architecture, and environmental science. The university is internationally recognized for its commitment to sustainability and innovation, particularly through the CITEEC (Center for Technological Innovation in Construction and Civil Engineering) — one of Europe’s most advanced facilities for experimental research in construction.
UDC’s academic and research strengths include recycled materials, life-cycle assessment, decarbonisation of the construction sector, and sustainable infrastructure design. Its laboratories specialize in large-scale testing, hydraulics, geotechnics, and environmental systems, offering students a unique hands-on learning experience.
During the second semester, UDC offers courses on sustainable construction, energy-efficient buildings, and environmental impact evaluation, encouraging students to explore how civil engineering can contribute to a low-carbon future.
Founded in 1973, the University of Minho (UMinho) is one of Portugal’s most dynamic and internationally oriented universities. With campuses in Braga and Guimarães, UMinho is known for its interdisciplinary research and close ties with industry, which foster innovation and sustainable development.
The School of Engineering is widely recognized for its expertise in civil engineering, materials science, and sustainable built environments. Its research promotes the circular economy, energy efficiency, and the integration of renewable energy systems into construction practices.
Students attending courses at UMinho explore sustainable materials, building performance analysis, and energy optimization strategies, strengthening their capacity to design innovative, resource-efficient, and environmentally responsible solutions.
Established in 1984, is one of France’s leading engineering schools and part of the INSA Group, the largest network of public engineering institutions in the country. With over 2,000 students and 300 researchers, INSA Rouen is distinguished by its excellence in teaching, research, and innovation, as well as its strong international orientation.
The school’s expertise covers civil engineering, energy systems, environmental sciences, and digital technologies, with several research teams dedicated to sustainable construction and energy transition. Through its involvement in European and national projects, INSA Rouen actively contributes to shaping the future of green engineering.
Serving as the coordinating institution of the RESCO consortium, INSA Rouen hosts the RESCO seminars, where students, professors, and industry professionals meet to exchange ideas, present research, and strengthen academic collaboration across Europe.
The , founded in 1984, is a multidisciplinary institution located in one of France’s most dynamic maritime and industrial regions. Known for its focus on innovation and sustainability, ULHN plays an active role in advancing research on renewable energy, marine engineering, and sustainable construction.
The university’s laboratories and research centers specialize in offshore wind energy, marine systems, and resource assessment, providing a strong foundation for interdisciplinary teaching and research. ULHN also has extensive experience in managing international projects and promoting scientific outreach.
Students spend their third semester in Le Havre, studying renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, and marine systems, along with resource management and energy production. The city’s proximity to the sea and strong industrial ecosystem make it an ideal setting for exploring how renewable energy and sustainable construction can work hand in hand.
The RESCO consortium combines long-established European engineering schools with dynamic, innovation-driven universities.
Its members share strong expertise in civil engineering, sustainable construction, renewable energy, and digital technologies, ensuring a fully interdisciplinary and international learning environment.
Together, they create a unique academic ecosystem connecting higher education, research, and industry, preparing graduates to design tomorrow’s sustainable infrastructures.
