The energy mix is one of the most frequently cited concepts whenever the topics of energy transition, decarbonization, or industrial sovereignty come up. But what exactly does this term mean? What makes up the energy mix of a country like France, and why does it vary so much from one region of the world to another? This article provides a comprehensive definition of the energy mix, details its composition on a global and French scale based on the most recent data, and explores the major economic, technological, and social challenges it poses for businesses and regions. In this article, you’ll see how engineering programs help students develop the skills needed for this transformation.

To kick off their engineering journey with a focus on engagement, first-year students in the Grande École Program took part in an immersive experience at TISSEL. Featuring team challenges, an introduction to the circular economy, and an exploration of a site that symbolizes industrial redevelopment, this activity set the tone for a new academic year focused on the challenges of tomorrow’s world.

On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, the Lille campus of the Arts et Métiers , opened its Learning Center, thereby becoming a full member of the national network of AtriuM spaces, which are dedicated to learning and knowledge sharing. This is a flagship project for the campus for the 2026–2027 academic year and is fully integrated into the institution’s ELF program.

In the spring of 2026, Adel OLABI participated in the “France-China Electric Vehicles” (FCVE 2026) mission, thanks to support from the Arts et Métiers Foundation and the Direction d’Arts et Métiers. 

This French delegation brought together automotive experts, industry leaders, institutional representatives, and engineering students around a common goal: to understand the factors behind China’s lead in electric vehicles and to identify avenues for consideration for the European industry.

Upon their arrival on campus, the 156 first-year students in the Grande École Program and the 28 Bachelors in Science and Engineering began their academic year with three days of hackathons, held from August 31 to September 2. This highlight of the academic year, coordinated by Mehdi Cherif, was designed to allow them to discover their new environment, get to know each other, and familiarize themselves with the various facets of their future engineering training.
