Climate Impulse x UM6P : innovation and exploration for climate action

Climate and development

In this unique session, explorer Bertrand Piccard and UM6P President, Hicham El Habti will kick-start the collaboration between the University and Climate Impulse, the Swiss pioneer's new challenge. Following on from Solar Impulse, which circumnavigated the globe in a solar-powered aircraft, Climate Impulse aims to perform the first non-stop, zero-emission flight around the world in a green hydrogen-powered airplane. Pioneering the future of aviation and highlighting the role of clean technologies, the aim is to restore hope and demonstrate solutions, by presenting climate action as a unifying and inspiring opportunity. Hence, the promising collaboration with professors and students at UM6P.
