eCAMPUS

electro-mobility for CAMPus of Universities based on Sustainability

The International Associate Laboratory (IAL) eCAMPUS was borned from a collaboration between the University of Lille and the University of Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR).

Objective

The objective of eCAMPUS is to develop methodologies for the research and implementation of electro-mobility in university campuses, pursuing a future development of eco-cities. A first example of this collaboration in the EVE project.

Members

The IAL is composed of four laboratories: L2EP and TVES from the University of Lille, and IRH and LVC from the UQTR.

Missions

The missions of eCAMPUS are divided into four research axes:

  • Axis 1 – Hydrogen and electro-mobility for university campuses (coordinated by IRH): focuses on hydrogen storage of energy produced by renewable sources, and its implementation to power fuel cell vehicles.
  • Axis 2 – Analysis of the mobility on university campuses (coordinated by LVC): focuses on a comparative study of the mobility on both campuses.
  • Axis 3 – Analysis of the consumption of electric vehicles (coordinated by L2EP): focuses on the consumption of electric vehicles on both campuses, considering the differences on driving styles, climate and cites.
  • Axis 4 – Electrification of the home-university mobility (coordinated by TVES): focuses on the study of different electrification scenarios for both campuses (e.g. urban development, possible partnerships, administrative procedures).
