Celebrating the Graduation of The Second Edition of HySET

On Friday 23rd October, we celebrated the graduation of the second edition of HySET at the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano, bringing together students, coordinators, and institutional representatives to mark this important milestone.

It was in this very place, back in 2024, that the journey began. The first Joint Event, the 2024 Fall School, brought together young students from across the world - from Ethiopia to Indonesia, and from Spain to Jordan, among others - laying the foundations for a shared two-year experience. Returning to where it all started to celebrate their graduation made this occasion especially meaningful, marking a full-circle moment in a journey that brought together not only people from different parts of the world, but also shared ambitions and experiences.

The event opened with welcoming remarks from Gianluca Valenti, Local Coordinator at Politecnico di Milano, who provided an overview of the program, followed by institutional greetings from Paolo Chiesa, Chair of the Energy Engineering Study Programme at Politecnico di Milano, Massimo Santarelli, Program Coordinator, and Attila Husar, Local Coordinator at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, who congratulated the graduates on their achievements and encouraged them as they embark on the next chapter of their academic and professional journeys.

A special moment was the contribution of HySET alumnus Giuseppe Claabrese, who shared his personal experience and offered valuable advice to the graduates, drawing on his own journey through the program.

Students also had the opportunity to present their thesis projects, offering a glimpse into their research and showcasing the knowledge and skills they developed throughout their studies.

The event concluded with a celebratory toast and an informal gathering, giving graduates, coordinators, and guests the opportunity to chat, share experiences, and celebrate this achievement together.

Yet, this is not an ending, but the beginning of a new chapter. As the next generation of energy transition professionals, our graduates are now ready to put their knowledge, ideas, and passion into practice, contributing to the transition towards a more sustainable future.

Congratulations to all our graduates! We are proud of their accomplishments and excited to see what comes next. 

A heartfelt thank you to the Department of energy – Politecnico di Miano for hosting us and helping make this special occasion possible.
