Green Jobs in multinational companies - an initial network and content analysis

(Corresponding) Piwowar-Sulej K., Ferasso M., Sulich A.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

Several current research studies on green jobs focus mostly on rural areas and analyze this problem in the context of Circular Economy or specific industries. However, the context of multinational companies is still uncovered. This study aims at mapping the field by relating the Green Jobs in...Read more

A comparative study of alkali activated slag cement concretes with carbonate and silicate activators.

Sanam I., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

Alkali-activated cements are increasingly gaining interest as viable alternatives to Portland cement, because they are considerably reducing CO2 emissions compared to traditional Portland cements while maintaining or exceeding performance requirements commonly specified for construction...Read more
