ESTP and Sector Launch a New Teaching and Research Chair: Sustainable Dependability

An Integrated Response to 21st-Century Challenges

In a context where technical systems must be safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly, the Sustainable Dependability Chair positions itself as a crucial driver for developing innovative practices. Its approach is based on risk assessment that incorporates environmental impacts, thus promoting a transition to sustainable models in sectors such as energy, construction, and industry.

Clear and Ambitious Objectives

Launched last October and officially presented at the Lambda Mu Conference at INSA Centre-Val de Loire, this chair reflects an ambitious vision:

• Train future engineers and managers in innovative solutions that balance performance, value creation, and respect for ecosystems.
• Achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 while enhancing business competitiveness through sustainable governance.
• Explore practical solutions through research, including the chair’s first thesis, which will focus on extending dependability principles to buildings, incorporating energy and ecological sustainability properties.

Governance for a Sustainable Future

Under the leadership of Francis Claude, lecturer and chairholder at ESTP, Sustainable Dependability offers an integrated methodology combining resource conservation, technical performance optimization, and natural ecosystem support.

A High-Impact Collaboration

By partnering with Sector, ESTP reaffirms its commitment to sustainable and responsible solutions. This partnership is part of an applied research initiative that combines academic knowledge and industrial expertise, aiming to reinvent current practices and build long-term livable territories.
