Next-Gen Nuclear Power: Fusion and Advanced Reactors

From theory to practice: why do an Eni Master’s?

We are looking for curious people, open to the new and with a passion for technology to build together the future of energy. Your journey to discover the world of energy starts at the University. Our higher education courses are designed to train Eni people of the future.

 

The Master's program is focused on fusion energy, a field in which Eni is a pioneer in developing solutions for magnetic confinement, while also providing a comprehensive view of advanced nuclear reactors, necessary for a full understanding of the sector. Over the course of twelve months, the program delves into the design, management, and maintenance of nuclear power plants, integrating engineering knowledge with innovations in reactor design, new technologies, advanced materials, and aspects of safety and regulation.

  

In partnership with the Politecnico di Torino, the Master’s aims to train young professionals in the energy sector, to equip them with skills that can be applied in business reality. 

 

Participants, selected on the basis of Eni's recruitment needs, will be offered a Higher Level Training and Research Apprenticeship Contract, effective for the entire duration of the Master’s.
