Education, and training are crucial for the future of Circular and Bio Economy . The transition to a more 'green' and environmentally sustainable economy requires new education and training systems to support the overall process. The role of vocational education in enabling the transition is part of the European Green Deal, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and country targets of net-zero carbon emissions.
" Contamination of knowledge" is fundamental , and it is especially so in the training courses of the new generations .
Two leading Italian Universities: University of Naples Federico II (UNINA) and Polytechnic of Turin (POLITO) joined their forces and competences to give birth to a new joint Master's degree Science in Industrial Chemistry for Circular and Bio Economy.
The Educational Objectives of the Master's Degree Course in Industrial Chemistry for Circular and Bio Economy of the LM-71 class are to provide an in-depth preparation for the development of new processes and products for the chemical industry in a perspective of Circular and Bio Economy . This starts from an operational research phase, at the laboratory level, and moves on to the implementation and management of pilot plants, up to the understanding of the structure and operation of industrial plants. Students will be prepared to operate, respecting ethical constraints, especially in the field of research and development, acquiring the necessary tools to develop, manage and evaluate products, materials, and processes on an industrial scale, always remaining within the limits of sustainable chemistry. The possibility to participate in challenges proposed by the industries of the sector will allow the student to achieve an in-depth professionalism to be used on the job market.
