About me

Prof. Dr. Pier Paolo Franzese
Scientific area: Ecology and sustainable development
Pier Paolo Franzese is 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 fifteen 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 environmental assessment and accounting to study natural and human-dominated ecosystems.
Prof. Franzese is Chair holder of the UNESCO Chair in "Environment, Resources and Sustainable Development". In addition, he is Coordinator of the International Ph.D. Programme “Environment, Resources and Sustainable Development” hosted at Parthenope University of Naples where he also founded and directs the Laboratory of Ecodynamics and Sustainable Development.
He is the Scientific Coordinator of the Master Programmes "Project Manager of the Public Administration: interdisciplinary tools for the sustainable development of local Authorities" and "Natural Capital, Ecosystem Services and Environmental Accounting". In addition, he is 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, and Italian Order of Biologists (ONB).
