New skills for the energy and ecological transition
27/01/2022
Professor Valentina Socco was an invited speaker at the online “Energy Transition: macro-economic update & new competences” organized by the SPE Italian Section on January, 25th.
She talked about the new M.Sc. program in Georesources and Geoenergy Engineering offered by Politecnico di Torino as a result of how academia can respond to the need of new skills and competencies for the energy and ecological transition.
The job market and the industry sector are requesting engineers to have new green competences in the field of geoscience, like renewable energies and pollution mitigation, alongside with additional knowledge in data analysis and artificial intelligence and this new program is designed exactly to broad the skills of our engineers.
Professor Socco also underlined the importance for this program to be designed in Europe where commitment to the environmental problem is strong. Europe is indeed expected to have a role as a change maker into the transition, as it was with many other innovations in the past.
Her speech is available in streaming here.
