The Module aims to highlight the need to take business initiatives that emphasize environmental awareness, with a simultaneous reference to the advantages promoted by green entrepreneurship with the ultimate goal of managing / limiting the environmental impacts resulting from the activities of small businesses and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Considering the fact that the business environment of SMEs is changing due to the very important environmental issues including climate change and the overexploitation of natural resources, while at the same time environmental legislation is becoming more and more strict, the conversion to environmentally friendly products and services becomes imperative. In this Module, students are introduced to the procedures for determining green entrepreneurship through standards that will be developed such as CSR, environmental management systems, green contracts, etc.

The Module aims to lay the scientific foundations and provide the tools for the preparation and characterization of new materials. Reference will be made to the structure of materials and their resulting technological importance. The use of these materials for energy production and storage will be reported. The necessary definitions and terminology will be given for the smooth running of the course. A general reference will be made to the properties of the materials. Definitions of properties such as electrical conductivity, an understanding of how microstructure influences the thermal conductivity of materials and their resistance to electrochemical stress and thermal shock will be given.

A detailed reference will also be made to the electrical properties of the materials. Definitions will be given and phenomena related to structure and electrical conductivity will be explained (Ohm's Law, conductors and semiconductors, insulators and dielectric properties). Reference will be made to the mechanical properties of materials. Definitions will be given and phenomena of mechanical behavior at macroscales and at small length scales will be explained. A report will be made to various types of materials such as metallic materials, ceramics and glasses, polymers and composites, electronic, magnetic and photonic materials. Also, the application fields of each material will be discussed. A report will be made to materials for green forms of energy production as well as materials for sustainable development. Reference will be made to the corrosion and wear of the materials which ultimately determine the duration of their application. For the innovative integration of materials in a safe way in a design structure it is necessary to know the properties and functionality of the materials through the control of their structure and their processing techniques. For this reason, criteria will be documented for the selection of materials for innovative applications with an emphasis on environmental chemical engineering and the requirements arising from it.

The Module aims at providing integrated knowledge on pollution processes in aquatic ecosystems, and to offer comprehensive knowledge of the chemical quality parameters of aquatic ecosystems (surface, underground and marine waters). Pollutants will be examined in relation to: (i) their sources (natural and man-made), (ii) their transport routes from the sources to the aquatic ecosystems, (iii) the chemical transformations that the pollutants undergo during their transport and remain in the aquatic environment and (iv) their effects on the aquatic environment, ecosystems and human health.

Also, since the study of pollution of aquatic ecosystems requires the implementation of monitoring programs and the use of methods for assessing the quality of aquatic ecosystems, the course presents how to design pollution monitoring programs as well as methods for assessing the environmental quality of aquatic ecosystems , taking into account the existing relevant European Directives.
