Environmentally friendly production processes and management are the focus of the second course of 2013 organized in cooperation with MOST, and taking place between June 29 - July 11.
Innovation of production technologies to make them greener could have a double benefit for enterprises: they reduce the impact on the environment, thus also obtaining a better image to the customer eyes, and at the same time they could also lead to a cut of production costs.
Given this very specific focus it is no surprise that the training course will have a very high number of site visits to companies producing end-use goods (coffee, plastic tubes, mechanical parts for cars, furniture, electrical motors, inverters and steam generators) as well as a power plant.
Lectures will also focus on the tools that companies can use to calculate and then reduce their emissions, waste, energy consumption and the likes, such is the case of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
Given the huge impact that energy production has on the environment, one day will be devoted to introduce all the most advanced technological innovations in this field.

Further details can be found in the training course agenda.
