The PhD Programme provides the necessary skills to young researchers who, in the coming years, will be engaged in activities aimed at achieving the national and European objectives defined by the Green Deal, Next Generation EU, PNRR, and the National Energy and Climate Plan.

Consistent with the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), constitutional issues, and the strategic plan of the University of Brescia and the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, the PhD Programme is designed to provide the necessary skills to young researchers who will contribute in the coming years to the energy transition and sustainability of production processes in academia, industry, private practice, and public administration. This will help them achieve the national and European objectives set by the Green Deal, Next Generation EU, the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), and the National Energy and Climate Plan. 

Energy transition and sustainability of production processes are central themes of the Green Revolution and Ecological Transition (the second Mission of the PNRR), whose aim is to ensure a fair and inclusive transition to a zero-impact society.

The PhD Programme is structured into two curricula:
