School of Engineers of the City of Paris – EIVP

EIVP, l’Ecole des Ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris, Grande Ecole of urban engineering, and ECT, signed a sponsorship agreement on October 23, 2018, marking an important milestone in their collaboration. This partnership – which lasted 2 years and has since been renewed – involves the creation of a teaching and research chair dedicated to the reclamation of soil from urban construction sites. The EIVP ECT Chair, with its interdisciplinary approach, is devoted to training and research on the reuse of soil from building sites and excavation work in large urban areas. In particular, this reuse can take shape as part of development projects based on the principles of the circular economy, in collaboration with local authorities : parks, promenades, sports sites, gardens, urban farms or photovoltaic power plants.
