Webinar UniPi: Climate science, solutions and actions

Secondo appuntamento con gli webinars organizzati dal corso magistrale di ingegneria nucleare dell’Università di Pisa all’interno del Progetto ENEN++ Il prossimo appuntamento con European Nuclear Society – Young Generation e Women in Nuclear global. Il prossimo Venerdì 17 Febbraio 2023 alle 15:00 ora italiana con collegamento MSTeams a questo link. Jadwiga Nadjer and Patricia Schindler terranno un intervento dal titolo Climate science, solutions and actions: nuclear technologies in support of UN Sustainable Development Goals.     Ecco la locandina: Qualcosa sui relatori: Jadwiga Najder is a nuclear engineer supporting a design of a NPP. As a Youth Community leader, I am also working to boost the participation of young people in the nuclear space. Passionately educating about solutions to climate change, for several years, I prepare youth and NGOs’ representatives to represent nuclear at UNFCCC COP conferences. She worked as Nuclear Engineer at Oakridge SAS, France and has been Intern Engineer at CEA, Service d’étude des réacteurs et de mathématiques appliquées, Saclay, France. Patricia Schindler worked for 35 years at the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). Graduated with a master’s degree in engineering (1985), specializing in metallurgy, she spent 5 years in a laboratory of metallurgical expertise, then turned to project management in the nuclear field. She has thus worked with multidisciplinary teams at the national and international level. She began her career in the field of sodium chemistry within FBR (Fast Breeder Reactors), before moving on to study projects concerning the PWR (Pressure Water Reactor) sector. As R&D project manager, she successively led various projects concerning the evolution of chemistry on the primary or secondary side of PWRs. These projects have led her to study, design and monitor the implementation of test facilities, combining the technique of nuclear measurements. These fields involving high temperatures and high pressures, she thus obtained in 2007 the title of expert in ThermoHydraulics in a chemical environment. She has been actively involved since 2012 in the network “Women in Nuclear (WiN)”, as well as in various regional initiatives to promote gender equality in science and technology in order to also increase the participation of women in the nuclear sector. She joined the WiN Global Steering Committee in 2020 when she became secretary. She currently also acts as vice-president of WiN France, and leader of WiN Europe

Webinar UniPi: Supporting career paths in the nuclear fields

Ripartono gli webinars organizzati dal corso magistrale di ingegneria nucleare dell’Università di Pisa! Con un’importante novità: questi appuntamenti rientrano ora ufficialmente nella cornice del Progetto ENEN++ Il primo appuntamento proprio con ENEN il prossimo Venerdì 10 Febbraio 2023 alle 15:00 ora italiana con collegamento MSTeams a questo link. Gabriel Pavel e Roberta Cirillo terranno un intervento dal titolo Supporting career paths in the nuclear fields.     Ecco la locandina: Qualcosa sui relatori: Gabriel Pavel is currently working as Executive Director for the European Nuclear Education Network (ENEN) and also as an assistant professor at University „Politehnica” of Bucharest department of Nuclear Engineering. He finished Faculty of Power Engineering in 2004, Nuclear Power Plants and followed by a Master degree in nuclear engineering. He started working at the University in the same year and also did his PhD in the same period. During 18 years of activity he followed several specialization courses in Research Centers and Universities from Austria, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Romania, South Korea and Slovakia. He is board member of AREN, Romanian Association for promotion of Nuclear Energy. He is involved in various projects funded by the European Commission and Cohesion funds dedicated to Human Resources and communication in the nuclear field. Since 2018 he is responsible in designing and managing E&T projects ad developing the ENEN’s strategy institutions from mainly Europe but with strong connections with international organizations all over the world. He is directly involved in designing, implementing and managing actions aimed at improving nuclear competences and attracting new persons to the nuclear field in eight different projects currently under implementation. He is also managing an organization with more than 80 members from mainly Europe but also with different organizations from all over the world. Roberta Cirillo has a bachelor in Physics from the University of L’Aquila (Italy) and a double Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering from the Polytechnical University of Catalonia (Spain) and the Polytechnical University of Grenoble (France) with a specialization in material science. She complemented her education with Energy Management and Innovation & Business Creation courses at the Management School of Grenoble. She had a multifaceted career path in which science was always the common thread and required her to live in several European countries. Starting with climate modeling data analysis for the Finnish Meteorological Institute, going on with several years of research in the field of cryogenics in CEA-Grenoble at the beginning, and later at CERN in Geneva. In parallel to her research work, she has always been actively involved in outreach activities, science communication and networking events. In 2019 she definitely shifted her career goals from Research and Technology towards the International Relations sector, focusing on education communication and outreach. Today, Roberta Cirillo works as Project Manager and Communication Officer at ENEN, which stands for European Nuclear Education Network and is the largest network in Europe for Education and Training having its headquarter in Brussels, Belgium. She is responsible for all ENEN Communication channels, manages several EU-funded projects leading the Dissemination and Communication working package and acts coordinator for the TOURR project.  

Impianti nucleari per il settore marittimo

Segnaliamo questo interessante evento organizzato dal Comitato Nucleare e Ragione e l’Associazione Italiana di Tecnica Navale del Friuli Venezia Giulia il prossimo mercoledì 25 gennaio alle 18.00. Il settore marittimo è uno dei più difficili e più urgenti da decarbonizzare: sfruttando quasi esclusivamente i comubustibili fossili per la propulsione, si stima che il 3% delle emissioni globali di CO2 derivi da questo settore. L’evento tratterà del contributo che la fissione può dare, con una panoramica sui nuovi reattori piccoli modulari per propulsione e per produzione di energia in mare. Relatori saranno l’Ing. Giuseppe Francesco Nallo, ricercatore Politecnico di Milano, e l’Ing. Giulio Gennaro, Chief Technical Officer di CorePower UK. Per partecipare all’evento si può: in presenza presso l’Edificio H3 dell’Università degli Studi di Trieste, non è necessaria la registrazione online a questo link
