The University of Naples Federico II (Italy) is one of the biggest university in Italy and in the world, made up of 13 schools and 82 departments. The university accounts for more than 3,000 professors and researchers, with 100,000 students enrolled. Founded by Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, King of Sicily and Holy Roman Emperor, through Imperial Charter, on 5 June 1224, it is considered the oldest university instituted by a head of State. The Department of Industrial Engineering of University of Naples Federico II gathers more than 120 academicians involved on research activities related to a wide spectrum of industrial topics. Research interests within the Operational Research and Management Engineering group are mainly focused on the development of optimization model and methods applied to typical engineering sectors such as logistics and transportation, energy management, production planning, innovation processes, with a particular concern to sustainability aspects. UNINA’s role in the project will be to lead the training needs specialization
