Pier Paolo Franzese
Prof. Dr. Pier Paolo Franzese
Scientific area: Ecology and sustainable development.
Pier Paolo Franzese is Full Professor of Ecology at the Department of Science and Technology of Parthenope University of Naples, Italy.
After graduating with honours in Environmental Sciences, he achieved the international title of Ph.D. in “Crop Systems, Forestry, and Environmental Science” with label of Doctor Europaeus.
Over the last twenty years his research and teaching activities have been focused on the development of an ecosystem approach for studying human-nature interactions. Always striving for the application of a system-based and interdisciplinary approach to science, his main research interest is focused on ecosystem and environmental accounting to study natural and human-dominated ecosystems.
Prof. Franzese is Coordinator of the International Ph.D. Programme / UNESCO Chair “Environment, Resources and Sustainable Development” and of the Master Programme in "Sustainability Manager for the Ecological Transition", both hosted at Parthenope University of Naples. He is Past President of the International Society for the Advancement of Emergy Research (ISAER) and Coordinator of National Working Groups on "Natural Capital, Ecosystem Services, and Environmental Accounting" of the Italian Society of Ecology (SItE), Italian Society of Marine Biology (SIBM), and Italian Order of Biologists (ONB).
