Driving innovation in green transport: Empowering the next generation of engineers
Electrical Machines and Drives for Green Transportation systems
One of MUNER’s main goals is to promote innovation, upskilling and reskilling in the automotive sector.
To this end, it not only promotes research in the academic sector, but it fosters the training of highly qualified personnel in engineering.
The Summer School on ‘Electrical Machines and Drives for Green Transportation systems’ is organized in collaboration with the Electrical Machines and Power Electronics Technical Committees of the IEEE IES, and with the support of the Fondazione Fondazione Democenter.
It’s a unique event in Europe, open to young researchers and PhD students, to exchange experience and technical information about their projects, to attend lectures and meet representatives from top industries in the transportation area.
Engineers from Industry are also welcomed, it is an opportunity for them to stay updated with the latest innovations in electric transportation field.
The initiative is endorsed by MOST – Centro nazionale per la mobilità sostenibile, and Motus-E.
It is organized in Modena, in the center of Emilia-Romagna region, which is world-renowned for its automotive industry.
The program is integrated with social experiences of the history and innovation of the Italian automotive sector, as well as local beauty and culture.
