1 China-EU Institute for Clean and Renewable Energy at HUST (ICARE) Renewable Energy Research Internships (SIP) Project summary ICARE Projects are all about clean and renewable energy development, we are constituted by various subjects and research orientations. The organisation The China-EU Institute for Clean and Renewable Energy at Huazhong University of Science & Technology, abbreviated as ICARE, is the third Sino-European educational institute jointly initiated and established by the Chinese government and European Union. With Huazhong University of Science and Technology as the Chinese Host University and Mines of ParisTech as the French host university, a project team composed of 3 Chinese Universities and 9 European Universities and Institutes has committed itself to the task of dissemination of existing knowledge and creation of new knowledge. It strives to cultivate capable and innovative young minds and to serve global needs. ICARE's mission is to support China in implementing activities in management and technology in order to reduce the consumption of fossil energy and carbon emissions through renewable energies and energy efficiency. Huazhong University of Science & Technology (Wuhan City, Hubei Province), is one of the top 10 universities in China. The university is in the forest with a total area of 1,153 acres with 72% greenery coverage. The university also operates the National Laboratory for Optoelectronics, and the National High Magnetic Field Center (One of the Four in the world), as well as 11 National Key Laboratories and Engineering (Technology) Research Centers. It is one of the first Universities to join the national 211 Project and 985 Project initiated by the Central Government of China which aims at building China's high-ranking universities to be world first-class universities.
