TECNIMONT And Mumbai Institutes Join Forces To Foster Energy Transition Talent

MAIRE (MAIRE.MI) has announced that TECNIMONT (Integrated E&C Solutions), through its Indian subsidiary Tecnimont, signed a collaboration with two esteemed engineering institutes in Mumbai, Vivekanand Education Society (VES) and Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) to foster innovation in the energy transition space through the Group’s Scholarship and Fellowship programmes.

As part of this initiative, TCMPL will support meritorious students, ensuring equal gender representation. For the current academic year, 10 scholarships have been activated for second, third and fourth year students of the Automation and Robotics department at VES Institute of Technology, focusing on early engagement on energy transition topics.

Additionally, TCMPL, in collaboration with VJTI, provides annual research grants to support 12 Master of Technology students and two PhD students in the Department of Energy Security & Sustainability, specifically within the disciplines of Mechanical, Civil and Electrical Engineering.

The project's topics, screened by MAIRE’s technical team, range from the analysis of sustainable solutions for cement production and blast furnace combustion by-products, to the study of hydrogen storage and transport materials which reduce hydrogen leakage. Quarterly review meetings with faculty and company mentors are also scheduled for students.

These selected students will benefit from the guidance of MAIRE’s technical team, enhancing their academic and professional growth. In addition to the research grants, TCMPL will host a series of Industrial Oriented sessions at both VES Institute of Technology and VJTI. These lectures are designed to bridge the gap between industry and academia, providing students with precious insights and practical knowledge which complement their classroom learning. By relating theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios, TCMPL aims to prepare the next generation engineers for the dynamic challenges of the industry.
