A NEW SUCCESS FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF TUSCIA:
FUNDED THE GREENO2 PROJECT

The University of Tuscia has been awarded funding through the EU’s program entitled Erasmus + 2023 – KA220-HED – Cooperation partnerships in higher education call for the project GREENO2 – Green Roofs in higher education institutions as sustainable centers for research, participation, environmental generation.

The GREENO2 project aims to promote the concept of green roofs as sustainable centers for research and reduction of energy demand with a consequent minimization of CO2 emissions. Innovative digital solutions will also be used with a view to energy and environmental transition to combat the challenges emerged from climate change.

Moreover, one of the main objectives will be to develop an application entitled GREENO2 AI+ Artificial Intelligence Proficiency Assistant and Networking Center (AI-PANC). A new platform would allow to public and private entities which are working in the field of environmental sustainability the exchange of technical and scientific knowledge for green roof realization and implementation.

The University of Tuscia is the GREENO2 project coordinator and the project team headed by Prof. Andrea Colantoni. The GREENO2 was funded by the European Union for a total amount of cost of 400,000 euros. The project brought together 7 prestigious partners from 6 European

countries such as: Xenios Polis Culture, Science and Action (Greece), University of Cádiz (Spain), SG Gripen Europe s.r.l. (Romania), Higher School of Social and Media Culture in Toruń (Poland), Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences (Greece), LIM Srl Unipersonale (Italy), and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine). In addition, the GREENO2 project will provide our researchers with unique opportunities for exchange and collaboration with other European institutions, further enriching their educational and professional growth.
