L’ESPCI participe, en temps que membre de ParisTech au programme ATHENS . Ce programme permet aux étudiants de quinze grandes universités européennes de suivre une semaine de cours intensifs dans l’une des universités partenaires. Il inclut également un programme d’activités à dimension européenne organisé par l’université d’accueil.
Deux sessions sont organisées chaque année, l’une en mars , l’autre en novembre et réunissent plus de 3 000 étudiants chaque année. Tous les étudiants de l’ESPCI ParisTech participent au programme ATHENS au cours de la troisième semaine de mars.
Les universités participantes sont :
- Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Grèce)
- Budapest University of Technology and Economics (Hongrie)
- Czech Technical University de Prague (République Tchèque)
- Delft University of Technology (Pays-Bas)
- Instituto Superior Tecnico de Lisboa (Portugal)
- Istanbul Technical University (Turquie)
- Katholieke Universiteit de Leuven (Belgique)
- Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) à Trondheim (Norvège)
- ParisTech
- Politecnico di Milano (Italie)
- Technical University of Munich (Allemagne)
- Technische Universität Wien (Autriche)
- Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Espagne)
- Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgique)
- University of Technology Warsaw (Pologne)
Descriptif des cours
L’ESPCI ParisTech propose deux cours aux deux sessions de mars et de novembre :
Non Destructive Evaluation and Characterisation of Materials
This five day course includes 15 hours of lectures and 16 hours of experimental laboratory work and/or visits of different laboratories of ESPCI ParisTech and companies which are involved in non destructive evaluation.
Non-destructive evaluation has been developed both to achieve zero defect conditions in the fabrication of products as well as for surveillance during operation. The methods which are used are extremely varied, and call upon many different disciplines in physics and material science. Their sophistication has become more and more extended in order to meet ever rising demands of industry and research. This course is an introduction to the techniques used for non-destructive evaluation, and is focused on the most used.

Structure-Property Relationships in Polymers
A huge variety of polymeric materials are widely used to satisfy both usual needs of every day’s life and sophisticated applications in aerospace industries, medicine, microelectronics, optics, etc. This course would aim : i) to rank the materials in different families according to their chemical structure and architecture, ii) to provide an understanding of their macroscopic properties thanks to suitable structure- property relationships, and iii) to suggest some predictions for the design of new materials.
