i-MESC Program<\/strong><\/h2>

Drexel University is proud to serve as a key affiliated partner of the prestigious International Master in Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion<\/em> (i-MESC), an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master\u2019s program co-funded by the European Union. This two-year program brings together top institutions across Europe – including Warsaw University of Technology <\/strong>(Poland), Universit\u00e9 Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier <\/strong>(France), Universit\u00e9 de Picardie Jules Verne <\/strong>(France), University of the Basque Country <\/strong>(Spain), and University of Ljubljana <\/strong>(Slovenia) – to provide a highly international graduate education in the field of energy storage. As one of the program\u2019s leading global research destinations, Drexel hosts i-MESC students for their final semester conducting a 6-month Master\u2019s thesis research project<\/strong> at Drexel\u2019s cutting-edge laboratories, within the College of Engineering and Drexel Nanomaterials Institute (DNI). Selected i-MESC students join leading research teams working on next-generation battery materials, supercapacitors, and other advanced electrochemical energy storage systems.<\/p>

Eligibility and Application<\/span><\/p>

The i-MESC program is open to students from around the world with strong backgrounds in chemistry, physics, materials science, or engineering. All courses and research activities are conducted in English.<\/p>

Applications typically open in November<\/strong> and close in March<\/strong> for students applying for Erasmus Mundus scholarships. Self-funded applicants may apply until June<\/strong>.<\/p>

What does Drexel University offers?<\/h5>

  • Access to world-renowned faculty and labs in materials science, nanotechnology, and electrochemistry<\/p><\/li>

  • A vibrant international research community through the DNI<\/p><\/li>

  • Exposure to innovative technologies and collaborations with U.S. industry leaders in the energy storage sector<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    Each year, approximately 30 students are admitted to the i-MESC program, and a competitive selection process allows top students to secure Erasmus Mundus scholarships<\/strong>. These scholarships cover full tuition, travel, insurance, and a monthly stipend for the full 24 months of the program (up to \u20ac33,600 total).<\/p>

    During their thesis semester, i-MESC students at Drexel conduct independent research under the supervision of Drexel faculty. Past projects have included:<\/p>

    • Synthesis of MXenes for battery applications<\/p><\/li>

    • Development of high-performance supercapacitors<\/p><\/li>

    • Investigation of solid-state electrolytes and electrode materials<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      Students gain valuable experience in advanced techniques such as electron microscopy, spectroscopy, electrochemical analysis, and materials processing.<\/p>
