The European project AMBITION – AMBassadors for sustainable transITION, funded by the Erasmus+ Partnership for Cooperation programme, officially concluded after three years of activity (2022–2025) with a final event held at KNUST – Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana.
In May, the second edition of the course “Evolutionary Multi-Criteria Optimisation and Decision-Making” was held, an integral part of the Doctoral Programme in Electrical Engineering, coordinated by the Department of Energy at Politecnico di Milano.
The initiative saw the extraordinary participation of Prof. Kalyanmoy Deb, one of the leading international experts in the field of evolutionary optimisation and multi-objective decision-making, who shared his knowledge and expertise with our PhD students.
Kalyanmoy Deb is a professor at Michigan State University (USA) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is also a professor in the Departments of Computer Science and Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. He is director of the Computational Optimisation and Innovation (COIN) Laboratory and previously founded and directed the Kanpur Genetic Algorithms Laboratory (KanGAL) at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, India.
From 12 to 16 May 2025, the 11th edition of the FISA-EURADWASTE conference was held in Warsaw. On 14 May, the Master’s & Continuing Education Office team participated in the “ENEN Dissemination Event on Safeguards Training and Education”, focusing on the European SaTE project. The project led to the creation of the Master’s Degree in Nuclear Safeguards, with students from all over the world and different backgrounds. During the event, the results of the first two editions and testimonials from alumni were presented.
On 15 May, the 2025 edition of the POLIMI European Patent Litigation Certificate course, organised by the Department of Energy under the direction of Prof. Antonio Salerno (Department of Energy, Politecnico di Milano & UPC representative) and Giovanni Casucci (EY Partner – IP Department), came to a successful conclusion.
The Department of Energy at Politecnico di Milano will manage the delivery of the new Corporate Master’s Degree in “Technologies for Nuclear Power Plants”, developed in partnership with Ansaldo Nucleare and in collaboration with CIRTEN (International Consortium for Nuclear Technology Research), the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the DIME (Department of Mechanical, Energy, Management and Transport Engineering) of the University of Genoa.
From 5 to 8 May 2025, the Department of Energy organised and hosted the course “Multiphase Flows: Cutting Edge Approaches In Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling” as part of the STEN Doctoral Programme – Energy and Nuclear Sciences and Technologies, organised within the framework of international education.
The Department of Energy at Politecnico di Milano is organising the first edition of the Summer School entitled “Thermophysical Properties of Fluids for Energy and CCS Applications: Modelling and Measurement”, which will be held from 23 to 27 June 2025 at the POLIMI Piacenza Campus.
From 13 to 17 April 2025, Elsewedy University of Technology (SUT) in Cairo hosted Polimi Energy Week, an intensive week of training and collaboration dedicated to students enrolled in the Energy Engineering Technology programme. The event was organised as part of an agreement between Politecnico di Milano and Eni Corporate University (ECU) to support the development of educational and professional skills in the energy sector.
On 10 April 2025, the final ceremony of the Smart Grids Executive Programme, the advanced professional training course organised by the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with E-Distribuzione, was held in Rome, in the ENEL auditorium. The programme, directed by Prof. Marco Merlo, was created to address future challenges in the field of distribution and to train new experts capable of guiding the energy transition and network innovation, contributing to the design of increasingly resilient and sustainable smart grids.
On 7 April 2025, the final ceremony of the fifth edition of the Master’s Degree in Energy Innovation was held, organised by the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with ENI: a moment to celebrate a higher education programme that began in 2018.
