qualitas1998.net News Paper in leading energy journal designs new approach to energy management education

13-Jul-2016 - Energy Research & Social Science publishes today the article designing a brand new approach to energy management education co-authored by Mario Pagliaro's and Francesco Meneguzzo's research teams.

Scholars describe a cross-disciplinary postgraduate course ('Lean is green') targeting both management and economy as well physical and engineering science graduates who will working in the top management of service and manufacturing organizations to effectively achieve higher levels of energy effiency and renewable energy penetration, while improving the levels of quality, work and service.

Ranked by Scimago 18 out of 753 journals in the energy category (and fourth out of 418 in the general social science category, behind Nature Climate Change and two economics journals) Energy Research & Social Science is one of the world's leading energy journals.

Pagliaro leads one of Europe's primary research centres in the feld of nano- and sustainable chemistry. Often cited for excellence in teaching and writing, he has co-authored 20 books and >160 research papers. In his 2008 book Flexible Solar Cells, translated also in Mandarin, he introduced the term "helionomics".

Having hosted the likes of Philipp Rudolf von Rohr, Aldo Steinfeld, Yuri Baurov, Bao Lian-Su, Ralph Nuzzo, Keith Barnham and Kisuk Kang, their jointly chaired SuNEC – Sun New Energy Conference annually held in Sicily since 2011 is amongst Europe's premier meetings in solary energy and energy efficiency science and technology.
