Introduction

Our world is at the precipice of irreversible climate change and global warming that threatens the very existence of humanity. The green and digital revolutions are key to addressing this challenge requiring innovative, high-performance, and economically competitive devices to fundamentally transform our carbon footprints and impact on the ecosystems.

However, the crucial resources and materials required for such a transition have a limited supply. Moreover, the industrial impact on the environment in
extracting, refining and processing them as useful inputs is often neglected.

Developing higher-performance devices for the green and digital transition while considering their feasibility, viability and sustainability in the face of our post-industrial reality is the necessary precondition for a successful change. The world needs a new generation of researchers, engineers, and sustainability managers that are able to address this global challenge. The GREENANO Master is a key step towards building the leaders for a
better tomorrow.
