The Erasmus Mundus SuCat Master’s program is a program of excellence in green chemistry that trains students from around the world in green chemistry, with a specific focus on catalysis. This interdisciplinary and international program draws on the expertise of each of the three partner universities:

• University of Poitiers, which coordinates the project
• Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal)
• Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Spain)

The objective of this master’s program, funded by the EACEA (European Education and Culture Executive Agency), is to:

• Train 21st-century chemists in the field of green chemistry, with a specific focus on catalysis.
• Offer an interdisciplinary and international education, drawing on the expertise of each partner university. Each institution specializes in a specific type of catalysis and contributes to the program to share its specialized knowledge.

Students complete two internships during the master’s program, allowing them to gain hands-on experience and enhance their employability.

The strong cohesion among the three universities and their industrial partners is a key strength that enables the consortium to work together on the continuous improvement of the program’s quality, contributing to its success.

The 2024–2026 cohort brought together a student body representing eight different nationalities. It is expected to be the last cohort of the project’s first phase, which concludes in 2026.
