Online PhD Seminar:
Decision-Making and Optimisation for Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Systems
- Upcoming events
Step into the virtual world of academia exchange with EURECA-PRO’s Online PhD Seminar, dedicated to the theme “Decision-Making and Optimisation for Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Systems”.
Hosted by the European University on Responsible Consumption and Production, this interdisciplinary seminar brings together PhD researchers exploring how different systems – from natural environments to organizations and industrial processes – can respond to growing sustainability and climate challenges.
In this engaging seminar, three doctoral researchers will present their latest work addressing key challenges in climate risk, sustainable governance, and advanced optimization methods:
- Impact of Selected Climate Features on Disaster Landslides with Climate Change Factors in East Africa – Julius Emmanuel Emuriat (Silesian University of Technology)
- Managerial Competence and Corporate Social Responsibility – Alain Patience Ihimbazwe Ndanguza (Silesian University of Technology)
- A Multi-Objective Firefly Algorithm for Solving the Energy-Efficient Permutation Flow Shop Problem – Maria Tsiftsoglou (Technical University of Crete)
Join us to discover how innovative research approaches contribute to more resilient, responsible, and energy-efficient systems.
