Foreword and motivation

The green economy is the economy that aims at reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities, and that aims for sustainable development without degrading the environment. However, it is a highly complex construct in terms of its attempts to integrate economic, environmental, and social concerns, the wide range of actors involved, its material outcomes, and the forms of governance needed to regulate processes of economic greening. Seminars have two main aims. The first is to explain the green economy concept and the framework in which it is included. The second is to consider theoretical and practice tools that might be used to analyze the drivers and processes shaping the green economy.

Course schedule and topics

Day Speaker Topics
29/05
(10:00-13:00)
G.Ferruzzi
(Università di Napoli Federico II-DII)
This seminar provides an introduction to the Smart Grid, a new electric infrastructure ables to optimize energy consumption, to improve the efficiency of the traditional electrical system, to increase the renewable energy development, to create business opportunities. The seminar explores the three major systems: the smart infrastructure system, the smart management system, and the smart energy market. Various management objectives are explored, such as improving energy efficiency, profiling demand, maximizing utility, reducing cost, and controlling emission.
5/06
(14:00-17:00)
M. Mansouri
(Stevens Institute Of Technology)
The availability of city sensors and technological advancements have changed the concept of urban interactions. Along with all challenges, it has also created opportunities for incorporating resilience within the fiber of urban communities as well as lives of citizens. This seminar, focuses on describing ways through which cities of the future can utilize abundance of available urban data to foster sustainability and resilience in our urban lives.
14/06
(10:00-13:00)
G.Zollo &  L.Iandoli
(Università di Napoli Federico II-DII)
This seminar provides an introduction to the challenge of sustainable economic development. The sustainability challenge is presented in the framework of complex systems and complexity science. Several cases of societal collapse will be presented and discussed  to show that collapse is often the result of poor management of environmental resources coupled with the building of unnecessary complexity in institutions and organizations
19/06
(10:00-13:00)
G.Bruno and C.Piccolo
(Università di Napoli Federico II-DII)
Introduction, Fundamental definitions, Green issues in internal and external operations management, Green logistics strategy, KPI for Green Supply Chain Management, Mapping and re-engineering of processes to improve Energy Efficiency Operations, Case study and methodology application.
