Educational goals and objectives

CHEMICAL PROCESSES FOR INDUSTRY AND ENVIRONMENT
The PhD course in Chemical Processes for Industry and Environment belonging to the Doctoral School in Science and Technologies for the Industrial Innovation - has been designed by the Chemical Engineering Materials Environment Department and by the Chemistry Department for the high education of young engineers, chemists and industrial chemists to face all the problems related with the research activities of chemical and process industries.
The research subjects treated in the course deal with the processes in the fields of petro-chemistry, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, energy source, environment, green chemistry and chemical engineering and industrial biotechnologies. These topics may be developed also with respect to the industrial safety aspects.
The aim of the PhD course is to educate the candidates to carry out and coordinate research activities, to transfer the results from laboratory to industrial scale, to develop new processes and to optimize the existing ones. The PhD student training program is based on the development of an original research project, under the supervision of a teacher member of the PhD board.
The training program is completed by the participation in tailored courses and seminars offered by the Doctoral School (minimum 60 hours over the three year cycle), and other didactic activities approved by the board, such as the participation to National o International PhD Schools.
The courses offered by the Doctoral School (completely taught in English) aim at providing more in-depth knowledge of the basic aspects of Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry, such as research methodologies (data analysis, experimental planning and scheduling, technology transfer, fund raising), and offering more practical insight on the numerous research areas towards which it is currently possible to extend Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry skills. The courses are organized in modules and their content will be decided, on an annual basis, by the Doctoral School board for each of the PhD course.
Students are also encouraged to carry out part of their activity in foreign universities or research centers. In general, any exchange or contact with organizations different from the home university is favored, in view of obtaining increasing knowledge and specialization in their own field of research.
