16/09/2013 | European Mobility Week: Citizens and local authorities join forces to create a new urban mobility cultureEach year from 16 to 22 September, more than 2.000 European towns and cities sign up for European Mobility Week, an annual campaign on sustainable urban mobility financed and supported by the European Commission - DG ENV. Although political commitment at the local level is an essential requirement to join the initiative, the success of EMW really depends on the enthusiasm of thousands of citizens that get involved in a range of public events, such as bicycle masses, car free days, walk-to-school initiatives and many other public activities promoting sustainable and active travel.
18/06/2013 | We are proud to introduce Felice-Alessio Bava: one of the Italian Faces of the European Year of Citizens 2013!"For a young researcher like me to move freely in our continent means multiplying the opportunities to increase the scientific "luggage"…Exchanging ideas is the basis of a job like mine, in addition to being an important tool for the advancement of science in general. Therefore it is important that the European Year of Citizens reminds all of us that only if we are united, the research could lead to new discoveries powering both human and cultural growth. I hope that we will talk soon about the World Year of Citizens." - Felice-Alessio Bava, Researcher
