COURSES

This module introduces European and Italian sector legislation and consists of a theoretical part which also illustrates the principles of bioethics and neuroethics and lays the foundations, through interactive classroom activity, to assess the ethics of experimental protocols to be presented to Ethics Committee.

The course aims to combine the systemic and process-oriented view of operations in biomed-related industries and to discuss the impact of the Industry 4.0 paradigm and digitisation on the competitiveness of these industries. The design and operation of systems are modelled and analysed using quantitative and qualitative techniques implemented using state-of-the-art technology.
