Accademia Dimitri participates at the “Sustainable University Day -SUD 2022”
Universities on the road to the 2030 Agenda: what role do dialogue with society, the dimension and commitment of students play? This question will be at the centre of the activities proposed by the Sustainable University Day 2022 that will take place on 29 April in Mendrisio.
The event will take place on 29 April 2022 at the USI Academy of Architecture and the SUPSI Campus in Mendrisio-Stazione. USI and SUPSI, in collaboration with the Swiss Academies of Sciences and the U-Change funding programme, created to promote the realisation of project ideas related to sustainable development by students at Swiss higher education institutions, have organised a day during which students, researchers, teachers, university staff and all interested parties will be able to take part in various initiatives as part of an interactive and multi-faceted programme, in collaboration with research and teaching partners, non-profit organisations and local associations.
