Introduction
2020 pandemic has changed our work habits and our lives. In order to face this global challenge, it is much needed to maintain the focus on sustainability, to help transition from the tragic reality of the coronavirus outbreak and all the social problems it has revealed to a much better future where individuals, companies, and institutions work together to enhance societal and natural well-being.
The Executive Master in Sustainability Transition Management has the aims to equip executives with operational tools and strategic knowledge in order to develop their professional careers internationally in the global sustainability arena.
The Program is rooted in the Sustainable Transition framework, defined as a set of processes of change, which occur during the course of one or more generations, which fundamentally modify the structural characteristics of society: transition in the industry, energy, urban systems, agriculture, and mobility. The programs will focus on all these five pillars, thus providing participants with a systemic view of how sustainability can be translated into tangible economic, environmental, and social outcomes.
The Executive Master in Sustainability Transition Management is a 12-month online program, with teaching sessions hold two evenings a week (i.e. Tuesday and Thursday. 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. CET) and on Saturday (9:00 a.m. – 1 p.m. CET). Each online session lasts about three hours and combines lectures, case discussions, team-working among participants, virtual factory tours, and sustainability transition dialogues with thought leaders in the field. Thanks to a smart formula, you will be able to combine work and private life while attending the Masters.
The program will also include a presence three-day study tour in Italy in June 2022, where participants will experience how leading companies in the automotive, packaging, renewable energy, and food industries are heading towards sustainability transition.
Finally, in order to provide a fully customized learning experience, each participant will be paired with a professional mentor, an expert in the sustainability area, which will support the professional development of each student during the Master and the development of the final project work.
Italy represents the right place to improve your skills on sustainability transition and develop a new mindset ready for the “new normal”.
