On the first anniversary of Massimo Gallanti’s passing, we are publishing the volume entitled “The Development of the Electricity and Energy Systems: Massimo Gallanti’s 30-Year Research Contribution” in RSE’s Colloquia series. Together with a small collection of scientific papers written by him, the volume collects contributions by personalities from the world of energy in Italy who had long, deep and rewarding opportunities to work with him.

Its goal is thus to recall his professional, scientific and human figure, who played such a large part in shaping our Research Organization and whom we hope to honor by continuing in the work he conceived. The volume will be distributed to whoever wishes to keep a copy and will provide the basis for the public conference tentatively scheduled for November 26, 2020.

It will be the first in a series of annual events we wish to dedicate to him. “Thirty Years of Energy System Research: the Legacy of Massimo Gallanti and Scenario Developments as an Energy Policy Tool”. The conference will be disseminated on the web, while speakers will be invited to share a common space (currently to be defined).
