From 28 to 30 July 2025, the Lecco campus of the Politecnico di Milano hosted the International Seminar on Nuclear Reactor Core Thermal Hydraulics Analysis (IS-ReCTHA-2), an international event dedicated to the challenges and perspectives of next-generation nuclear energy, with a particular focus on Small Modular Reactors. The seminar was organized by professors Marco Pellegrini and Stefano Lorenzi from the Department of Energy and brought together experts from universities, research centers, safety authorities, and leading companies in the field from Italy and abroad.
Politecnico di Milano’s magazine Frontiere published an extensive interview with Matteo Maestri, Full Professor of Chemical Engineering in the Department of Energy and lecturer in the Laboratory of catalysis and catalytic processes (LCCP) research group.
From 14 to 16 May 2025, the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano actively participated in NetZero Milan Expo-Summit, the new international event dedicated to decarbonisation technologies and the transition to a net zero economy, held at MiCo – Milano Convention Centre.
The third edition of the Specializing Master in Nuclear Safeguards, a training programme aimed at preparing professionals in the field of nuclear safeguards, is now underway.
Organized by the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with ENEN (European Nuclear Education Network) l’European Joint Research Centre (JRC), Academic institution participating in the European Nuclear Education Network, ESARDA (Enhancing R&D in Nuclear Safeguards) partners and other international organizations (e.g. IAEA), the Specializing Master is now in its third edition, starting in November 2025.
Physis PEB returns to Monte Carlo to participate in the twelfth edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, with a new important milestone: the design and construction of Marino, an innovative electric motor developed entirely by the team.
Nicolò Varallo, PhD student in the Energy and Nuclear Science and Technology (STEN) PhD programme at the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano, is among the winners of the Best Paper Award 2023 awarded by the journal Fluids (MDPI).
On 26 June, a special lecture was held at the EN:lab building of the Department of Energy by Prof. G. Kumar Venayagamoorthy, professor at Clemson University (USA) and IEEE PES Distinguished Lecturer. The initiative was part of the Doctoral Programme in Electrical Engineering, coordinated by Prof. Marco Mussetta.
Riccardo Ramaschi, PhD student in Electrical Engineering at the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano, won second prize in the Basil Papadias Best Student Paper Award at the PowerTech 2025 conference, held in Kiel (Germany) from 29 June to 3 July.
On 27 June, the Summer School “Thermophysical Properties of Fluids for Energy and CCS Applications: Modelling and Measurement” came to an end. It was organised by the Department of Energy as part of the European ENCASE project at the Piacenza Campus of POLIMI.
Under the direction of Prof. Manuele Gatti, the Summer School represented an important opportunity for discussion and updating with international experts on aspects of thermodynamic modelling and measurement methods relevant to the characterisation of the thermophysical properties of fluids of interest to the energy sector.
