Communication skills: the student will develop the ability to discuss with sound terminology and arguments the knowledge and the main results of research in the field, in written and oral form, also with the help of reports, graphs and analytical tools. The possibility to carry out group work and in-depth studies on specific topics allows the acquisition of the skills described.
