Sustainable polyMer And pRocess chemisTry (SMART) is designed for students who aspire to master the new sustainability challenges of polymer science and chemical processes, with a focus on upcycling, reuse and end-of-life management of plastic and inorganic materials, all intertwined with the principles of eco-design and the circular economy.
The programme combines professional skills with a solid foundation of fundamental science addressing technical and management issues and with an interdisciplinary approach to the synthesis and properties of polymers, chemical engineering, catalysis, and chemical process design, also aiming at innovative approaches for waste management in renewed raw materials for a cleaner environment.
