Location of Grenoble Institute of Technology
Apart from being unique in its domain, the originality of this 20 month program lies in theoretical courses combined with training periods. Pagora has developed strong partnerships with key industry players that allow students to cover notably environmental and economical aspects in their internship.
For many years, Pagora has collaborated with numerous universities and research centres, in France and abroad, as well as with paper and packaging companies, including their suppliers. Among them: Ahlstrom, Allimand, ArjoWiggins, ARKEMA, Condat, Metso Fiberline, Smurfit, Sonoco, Tembec, Voith, Goss System Graphics, Siegwerk...
The courses are given by professors who are leaders in their field. One of them is the recipient of the 2005 TAPPI Research and Development award and W. H. Aiken Prize and most of them have already received international recognition. This recognition represents a good external validation of our work. It proves that what we are doing here at the Pagora and in our laboratories has an impact on the paper industry. If you are interested in an exciting and motivating career in the pulp paper industry, come and join us!

February-March of year N+12 group projects of 1 month each (manufacturing a specific paper and a supervised project) in February and March of year N+1: 2 x 9 ECTS.
From April to the end of August of year N+1A 5 month Master thesis development follows, taking place from April to end of August of year N+1: 30 ECTS.
The topic of the final project may either be industrial-oriented or research and development-oriented, provided that scientific and applied aspects are covered during the project period. Students can easily find an internship thanks to the excellent relationships that Grenoble INP-Pagora has developed with a number of partners.
This period gives students the opportunity to put their knowledge into action and develop their skills in relation to a specific industrial problem.
