Χαιρετισμός Διευθυντή Π.Μ.Σ.
Σας καλωσορίζω θερμά στο Μεταπτυχιακό Πρόγραμμα Σπουδών «Ενέργεια: Στρατηγική, Δίκαιο & Οικονομία» του Τμήματος Διεθνών και Ευρωπαϊκών Σπουδών του Πανεπιστημίου Πειραιώς. Πρόκειται για ένα από τα ελάχιστα μεταπτυχιακά προγράμματα στην Ευρώπη, το οποίο εστιάζει στη μελέτη κεντρικών διαστάσεων της Ενέργειας με τρόπο διεπιστημονικό και πολυεπίπεδο, καθιστώντας το με αυτόν τον τρόπο ένα καινοτόμο, πρωτοποριακό μεταπτυχιακό πρόγραμμα.
Το πρόγραμμά μας ξεκίνησε την πορεία του το 2014 με εξαιρετική επιτυχία και με μεγάλη αποδοχή τόσο από την ακαδημαϊκή όσο και από την επιχειρηματική κοινότητα. Προσαρμοζόμενο πάντα στις εξελίξεις και τα δεδομένα στον τομέα της Ενέργειας, από το 2017 μέχρι και σήμερα προσφέρεται πλέον ως αγγλόφωνο μεταπτυχιακό και μάλιστα με πολύ μεγάλη απήχηση, πράγμα που συνέβαλε στη διεθνή του αναγνώριση.
Απευθύνεται τόσο σε πτυχιούχους, οι οποίοι στοχεύουν στην απόκτηση ισχυρών εφοδίων προκειμένου να καταστούν ανταγωνιστικοί και να ανταποκριθούν επιτυχώς στις απαιτήσεις του κλάδου της ενέργειας αλλά και της ενεργειακής πολιτικής, όσο και σε τεχνοκράτες, οι οποίοι επιθυμούν την εμβάθυνση σε έναν τομέα με άμεσο αντίκτυπο στην κοινωνία, τη βιομηχανία και την οικονομία. Στηρίζει την εξειδίκευση τόσο στον ενεργειακό τομέα, όσο και σε ένα μεγάλο πλήθος άλλων τομέων, όπως τα δίκτυα και τις υποδομές, το περιβάλλον, τη βιομηχανία και τη ναυτιλία, σε διεθνείς οργανισμούς, ελληνικές και διεθνείς ενεργειακές επιχειρήσεις, τη δημόσια διοίκηση σε εθνικό και υπερεθνικό επίπεδο, τις ρυθμιστικές αρχές, τα μέσα ενημέρωσης, τα ινστιτούτα ανάλυσης και δεξαμενές σκέψης, εταιρείες συμβούλων επιχειρήσεων, δικηγορικές εταιρείες καθώς και το διπλωματικό σώμα.
Με γνώμονα τις διεθνείς προκλήσεις στον τομέα της ενέργειας και των ενεργειακών πόρων σε συνδυασμό με τη γεωπολιτική σημασία της Ελλάδος, στόχος μας είναι να σας προσφέρουμε τα κατάλληλα εργαλεία και τις απαιτούμενες γνώσεις ώστε να συμμετέχετε δυναμικά στις εξελίξεις του ενεργειακού τομέα σε εθνικό, ευρωπαϊκό και διεθνές επίπεδο. Το πρόγραμμά μας διακρίνεται για τη διεπιστημονικότητά του, γεγονός που φανερώνουν τόσο το πρόγραμμα μαθημάτων του όσο και η ομάδα των διδασκόντων. Καταξιωμένοι/ες καθηγητές/τριες, νομικοί, οικονομολόγοι, διεθνολόγοι καθώς και μηχανικοί βρίσκονται μεταξύ των μελών της τα οποία προέρχονται τόσο από το Πανεπιστήμιο Πειραιώς όσο και από άλλα κορυφαία πανεπιστήμια και ερευνητικά κέντρα της Ελλάδας και του εξωτερικού. Κίνητρο για τις συνεχείς μας προσπάθειες διατήρησης και βελτίωσης του ήδη υψηλού επιπέδου σπουδών που παρέχουμε, αποτελεί το εξαιρετικό επίπεδο των φοιτητών/τριών μας, που αποτελούν και τους καλύτερους πρεσβευτές της ποιότητας του Προγράμματος. Στόχος μας είναι να παρέχουμε γνώση και εξειδίκευση αιχμής στον τομέα της Ενέργειας. Ελπίζω ότι η εμπειρία σας στο μεταπτυχιακό μας πρόγραμμα θα είναι πλούσια και ουσιαστική και θα σας εφοδιάσει με τις απαραίτητες γνώσεις και τις πολύτιμες δεξιότητες που απαιτούνται για την επίτευξη των στόχων σας. Ανυπομονούμε να σας υποδεχθούμε στο Πρόγραμμά μας και να συμβάλλουμε στην εκπλήρωση των ονείρων και την επίτευξη των στόχων σας.
Με εκτίμηση,
