energy transition
= opportunity

The Fondazione MAIRE – ETS is an Ente del Terzo Settore (an Italian “Third Sector Organization”), whose mission is to train the “humanist engineers” of tomorrow, individuals capable of contributing to the evolution of humanity by providing innovative, economically and environmentally sustainable technological solutions, and who are able to interpret social, ethical, and environmental needs in the era of energy transition and digitalization.

The Foundation promotes awareness on issues related to sustainability, circularity, and climate change, responding to the social needs of a changing world, including through the promotion of studies and research and educational and cultural initiatives using the language of art.

Our training projects aim to combat educational poverty and contribute to providing access to study opportunities for young people from fragile and vulnerable backgrounds. We also seek to spread awareness of the issues related to sustainability and of the innovative solutions available for implementing the energy transition, while training the younger generations who will lead tomorrow's change. We promote female inclusion in the engineering and energy sector by encouraging young women to pursue STEM careers.

Our cultural and heritage enhancement projects aim to protect, preserve, and promote the Group's archival heritage, that of the MAIRE Historical Archive, while conveying the message of the collective value of Italy's archival and engineering heritage, in order to return it to the community.

Our studies, research, and calls for applications for research grants contribute to the analysis of the national and global scenario on sustainability issues and the new skills required for the implementation of the energy transition. They also serve as a context for the development of training projects for the inclusion of individuals from marginalized and vulnerable backgrounds.
