Barbara FERRUCCI graduated in Nuclear Engineering in Bologna, Italy. During her Ph.D., she investigated the radiological impact of accidental release scenarios involving storage facilities of radioactive waste, integrating environmental models and geographical Information Systems. Since 2012, she has been a researcher at the ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Sustainable Development) Research Center in Bologna. Currently, she is involved in two main international projects: INNUMAT, addressing research on new structural materials for Gen-IV reactors, and ENEN2plus for education and training actions in the nuclear field. As part of the ENEN2plus project, she has organized the Winter School on Nuclear Waste Safety and Management, which will be held on March 4-8, 2024, in Bologna, Italy.
