Previously known as the Master in Energy Storage and Conversion (MESC) programme -now known as i-MESC, the two decades of this milestone reflect educational excellence and innovation in the field of energy storage and conversion. The MESC Master programme was initiated in 2004 as an educational endeavour of the Alistore Network of Excellence. In 2005, it earned the recognition of being an Erasmus Mundus Master Programme for the first time. Over the years, the programme has continually evolved, securing funding and recognition as an Erasmus Mundus Master Programme in 2010 and transforming into MESC+ in 2018. More recently, in 2023, the programme was rebranded as i-MESC, continuing its tradition of excellence with recognition as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master until 2029.
