Italy / Culture / Donation
2025
Thanks to a donation from Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems S.p.A., a three-year PhD scholarship has been launched at the Department of Management and Engineering (DTG) of the University of Padua.
Coordinated by Professor Claudio Zilio, the research focuses on “High and Ultra-High Temperature Heat Pumps,” a topic of strategic importance for the future of industrial heating and sustainable energy solutions. This initiative is not only an investment in academic excellence but also a way to bring advanced knowledge and innovation directly into our company. By supporting this doctoral program, we create a bridge between research and real-world applications, enabling us to explore new technologies, improve product development, and strengthen our leadership in the heat pump sector. The collaboration ensures that scientific progress does not remain confined to academic circles but translates into practical solutions that can enhance efficiency and sustainability in industrial processes.
