Dr Terry Tudor reports on his recent visit to the University of Brescia...
I’ve just spent an enjoyable week at the annual
summer school by the CeTAmb LAB
at the University of Brescia, in Italy. This year, the summer school looked at
issues related to water, sanitation and waste management, primarily focused on
developing countries. So very much about an integrated approach to the manner
in which we address some of our key environmental and health issues, as
outlined by Silvio,
Daniele and Andrea.

On the final day, there were a number of really
interesting projects outlined by the participants, that they are currently
working on. These included sustainable waste management in Bolivia by Navarro
Ferronato, as well as Domenico
Vitiello’s agricultural project, for which by the way, he is seeking
funding and partners. Certainly, two very worthwhile initiatives.
Also, this week at the University of Brescia,
there was a workshop on Industria
4.0, facilitating the digitilisation of manufacturing industry. This very
well attended event was hosted by the Laboratorio
RISE which is a leading research centre in the field of utilising
innovation and circular business models for resource management.
The summer school is open to students from all
countries and there is some financial support available for those that wish to
attend. If you require more information please feel free to contact me.
