In the first group our university is represented by teaching assistant Milica Marić is staying in Arezzo, while the second group will visit Arezzo in January next year.

The partner in this activity is OpenCom, which organized activities on the topic „Managing sustainability as an innovative process leading to POSITIVE change“. The researchers had the opportunity to learn about the work of OpenCom and the projects they are currently implementing, and to attend the conference „Fighting climate change and its challenges: the links between the need of environmental literacy and the prevention of radicalization of climate activism“.

Additionally, a visit to the University of Siena was organized, where projects and activities in the field of sustainable entrepreneurship were discussed. The innovation center Santa Chiara Lab was also presented, as an example of good practice that connects the academic and business communities and encourages the entrepreneurial spirit.

The researchers had training on project management, where the instructors were experts with experience in this field, and they also visited the companies Estra SpA and AISA Impianti and learned about their approach to sustainable business.

The visit is carried out as a regular activity within the project „Up-skilling researchers for Sustainable Entrepreneurship based on Innovation Process Management“ – USE IPM, with the support of the European Union (HORIZON-WIDERA-2022-TALENTS-03-01).
