The Mediterranean in the post-American era, the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor renamed the New Cotton Route, the integration of the Western Balkans, and the dialogue between AI and Space are just some of the topics of the 2025 edition of GeoAdriatico, the international geopolitics symposium scheduled for 12th-15th June in Trieste.

GeoAdriatico, promoted by Vitale Onlus  in partnership with the University of Trieste, will also explore topics related to scientific research in the global data society, the G20 as a platform for cooperation on transport, port infrastructure and the sea, as well as issues related to tariffs, trade wars and the protection of the planet.

‘In an area deeply influenced by the development geopolitical relations, the environmental emergency and the data revolution, it is essential that scientific research, diplomacy and business come together to guide global processes towards common goals,’ says Rector Roberto Di Lenarda. ‘In an uncertain and complex international landscape, GeoAdriatico represents an opportunity for the University of Trieste to contribute to building dialogue between worlds that are only seemingly distant. Only through cooperation,’ concludes Di Lenarda, ’can we come up with effective solutions for the great developments of our time.’

In a social context in which there are 56 wars involving over 90 countries worldwide, international relations must play a crucial role in promoting peace, which is one of the priorities of GeoAdriatico. The event is sponsored, among others, by the Italian Senate, the Chamber of Deputies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.

‘International relations, in a complex world in conflict, are an effective tool for dialogue for peace,’ says Roberto Vitale, president of GeoAdriatico and Vitale Onlus and creator of the international symposium. The city of Trieste is a multicultural melting pot which, given its central position in the new geopolitical arena, must become a centre of multireligious dialogue in which to develop strategies for war prevention and conflict resolution.’

The opening ceremony of GeoAdriatico will take place on Thursday 12th June at 10:00 in the reception hall of the MIB Trieste School of Management, and will also feature speeches by Maria Tripodi, Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Dario Giacomin, military representative of NATO and the European Union in Brussels, Nicola Casagli, president of the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS), and Vittorio Torbianelli, special commissioner of the Port System Authority of the Eastern Adriatic Sea.

On the same day at 15:00 in the reception hall of the General Secretariat of the CEE (Central European Initiative) there will be a discussion on economics and finance for the revival and integration of the Western Balkans, with the participation from Marco Alberti, Italian Ambassador to Albania, Luca Gori, Italian Ambassador to Serbia, Gabriele Bellon, Director General of BCC Venezia Giulia, Salvatore La Rosa, Head of Research and Innovation at Area Science Park, Nicola Polato, Head of the North-East section of SIMEST, Tatjana Rojc, member of the European Union Policy Committee of the Italian Senate, and Gregor Šuc, Consul General of the Republic of Slovenia, moderated by Stefano Polli, Deputy Director of the ANSA Press Agency.

Among the 70+ participants of GeoAdriatico representing 20 countries will be Massimo Gallo, director of the Trieste branch of the Bank of Italy, Tullio Gregori, professor of Finance at the University of Trieste, Luigi Matarazzo, general manager of Fincantieri's Merchant Ships Division, and Stefano Pilotto, professor of International Relations at MIB Trieste School of Management.         

The second day, Friday 13th June, will open in the Reception Hall of the Palazzo della Regione (Regional Government Building), which will host a round table discussion aimed at framing Trieste's role as the arrival point of the East India Corridor. The meeting, which will be opened by Alessia Rosolen, Regional Councillor for Labour, Training, Education, Research, Universities and Family, will feature contributions from Pierpaolo Ribuffo, coordinator of the Maritime Policy Unit of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Antonio Bartoli, Italian Ambassador to India, Federico Donelli, professor of International Relations at the University of Trieste, Antonio Gurrieri, Secretary General of the Port System Authority of the Eastern Adriatic Sea, and Damir Murkovic, President of the Chambers of Commerce of Central and Eastern Europe. Reservation is mandatory for participation in this round table, and can be made via email to segreteria@vitaleonlus.it by Tuesday 10th June.

GeoAdriatico, which is partnered with the ANSA press agency, will continue at the Area Science Park Conference Centre. On Friday afternoon at15:00, research on the era of global data will be introduced by Caterina Petrillo, president of Area Science Park. The discussion will be led by Denise Amram, lawyer and professor of comparative private law at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Stefano Cozzini, director of the Area Science Park Research Institute for Technological Innovation, Giorgia Lodi, technologist at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), Giorgio Rossi, professor of physics at the University of Milan, and Paolo Valenti, research director at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics. The discussion will be moderated by Francesca Iannelli, spokesperson for the president of Area Science Park. 

This will be followed by a discussion on Space and Artificial Intelligence with Anna Gregorio Michelazzi, astrophysicist at the University of Trieste, in the Desiata room of the Camera di Commercio Venezia Giulia (Venezia Giulia Chamber of Commerce), a partner of the conference. After an opening speech by Giorgio Marrapodi, Italian ambassador to Turkey, there will be presentations by Maria Angelucci, business developer at WSense, Sylvio Barbon Junior, head of the Machine Learning Lab (DIA) at the University of Trieste, Giuseppe Coronella, CEO of Mare FVG, Beatrice Manassero, from the Space and Scientific Cooperation Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Milena Menna, oceanographer and physicist at the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS), Fabrizio Rovatti, project manager at Area Science Park, Vincenzo Vitale, maritime director of the Marche region and commander of the Port Authority of Ancona, and Marco Brancati, technical director of Telespazio, a company owned by Leonardo.

Saturday 14th June will begin at 9:30 in the Sala Rossa of the Port System Authority of the Eastern Adriatic Sea with a lecture by Roberto Danovaro, the world's leading expert on seas and oceans. The lecture is aimed at students from the Sustainable Blue Growth master's programme, which is directed by Mounir Ghribi, who, in turn, will talk about the sea as an essential element for the future of societies. 

At 10:00, the concluding round table will take place in the Sala del Mare of the Port Authority of Trieste, dedicated to the climate crisis, women and human rights. Speakers, moderated by Marcelo Knobel, Executive Director of TWAS, will include Max Paoli, coordinator of TWAS UNESCO programme (Academy of Sciences for the Developing World), Maria Cristina Fossi, professor of Ecology and Ecotoxicology at the University of Siena, who was the world’s first scientist to provide evidence of the effects of plastic on whales, Stella Koutika, from the Centre for Research on the Sustainability and Productivity of Industrial Plantations in Congo, Antonio Navarra, president of the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change, Sara Nowreen, researcher at the Institute of Water and Flood Management in Bangladesh, and Vania Torrez, from the Institute of Ecology at the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés in Bolivia.

The UniTS Audace Sailing Team’s new boat is in the water! BAI - Flax Bandit was launched at the Yacht Club Adriaco in Trieste, ready to debut on 16th June at the student sailing competition SuMoth Challenge in Malcesine. 

The name of the new foiling moth, a small regatta boat that ‘flies’ over the water, is a word play on Red Bandit, the German competition yacht that is the protagonist of all the most important international competitions. ‘Flax’ in English means linen, the main material used for the construction of the hull, designed and built by the UniTS student sailing team. BAI, on the other hand, is the main sponsor of Audace. 

The use of high-performance flax fibre is the trademark of the Audace fleet, optimising efficiency and environmental sustainability. Along the same lines, resins are also used and obtained from a mixture 30% derived from cashews. 

The special feature of BAI – Flax Bandit is the use of basalt fibre skins to reinforce the internal structure of the hull and deck and optimise performance. 

Another innovation is the sail, made with a more modern and high-performing design than the previous versions, and produced by recovering waste material from other sails. 

The foils are the highlight of the boat, since the water-soaked wings allow the craft to fly. They are subject to extreme stress, and for this reason they have to be made from carbon fibre. Less environmentally friendly than linen and basalt, use of this material is limited to the foils, where it is layered with linen skins. 

In 2025, the University of Trieste is still one of the most reputable and dynamic Italian academic institutions, combining quality of education, international openness and concrete employment prospects for its graduates. 

The 27th AlmaLaurea Report attests to this, a report analysing the performance of students who graduated in 2024. 

The University of Trieste stands out in terms of employment rates, with results above the national and regional averages. One year after graduation, 84.8% of bachelor’s degree graduates who have not continued their studies are employed, compared to 78.6% as the national average and 84.6% in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The net monthly salary is €1,522, higher than both the national average (€1,492) and the regional average (€1,497).

The situation is particularly positive for master's degree graduates, who are reported as having significantly higher average salaries and rates of employment, especially compared to the national average. One year after graduation, the graduate employment rate is 86.9% (78.6% nationally), with an average net monthly salary of €1,607 (€1,488 in Italy). Five years after graduation, employment reaches 93.0%, exceeding the regional and national figures (92.7% and 89.7% respectively), while the average monthly salary reaches €1, 988 euros (1,923 in FVG, 1,847 in Italy), with peaks of 2,014 euros among two-year master's degree graduates and 1,949 euros among integrated master’s degree graduates.

The data of UniTS graduates paints a picture of a university capable of attracting students from beyond regional and national borders. In fact, 41.5% of graduates come from outside the region, compared to a regional average of 33.8% and a national average of 24.5%, while 4.8% are foreign nationals (3.6% is the regional average). This is even more prevalent in two-year master's degree courses, where 47.9% of students come from other regions and 6% from other countries.

The quality of the education offered by UniTS is also reflected in the widespread use of curricular internships, which are provided for and recognised by the degree programmes. This has benefited 62.9% of graduates (compared to 61% nationally), with participation reaching 75.8% among master's degree students and 87.6% if experiences during their bachelor’s degree are included.

The data on international mobility is also excellent: 13.2% of graduates participated in a study abroad experience recognised by their degree programme, which is higher than both the national and regional averages (10.3% and 12.1% respectively). The figure is 13.2% among three-year graduates and 13% among master's degree graduates, rising to 18.7% if experiences gained during their bachelor’s degree are also included.

Finally, students confirm the high quality of the academic experience in Trieste: 88.7% say they are overall satisfied with their university experience, with very positive evaluations of their relationships with teachers (87%), workload (79.6%) and teaching facilities (84.7%).

The 27th AlmaLaurea Report analysed the performance of over 305,000 graduates in 2024 from 80 Italian universities, including 3,226 from the University of Trieste: 1,842 bachelor’s degrees, 979 master's degrees and 405 integrated master’s degrees.

The University’s new Art Gallery boasts around one hundred artworks, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and photographs by artists such as Tullio Vietri, Giovanni Pulze, Arturo Rietti, Marcello Mascherini, Twombly Cy, Serse Roma and Giacinto Cerone, donated to the University thanks to the initiative ‘A Trieste mi piaceva tornare: doni arte per il Centenario dell'Università’ (I liked coming back to Trieste: gifts of art for the University's centenary).

Special mention should go to the ten works of contemporary art, mixed media and installations, created as part of the #SBLAD – Shine Bright Like A Diamond, Residenze d’artista (Artist Residencies).

The new exhibition space, which will in the future also be open to the whole city and not only to students and the university community, is the result of the artistic projects organized for UniTS’ centenary.

It was, in fact, the University Museum Services (smaTs) that wanted to create a new centenary collection through the Donors ’24 project that was connected to the famous 1953-1954 Art Exhibition held at the University of Trieste.

Many artists and collectors expressed their willingness to donate one or more works to commemorate the University's centenary, a selection of which was already exhibited in summer 2024 at the centenary exhibition held at the Pomis Bastion of San Giusto Castle.

In continuity with that initiative and almost serving as a seal for the entire centenary, the University of Trieste has now committed itself to enhancing the significant artistic heritage donated to the University.

So that generosity of artists and donors could live on and be shared, a suitable space was found to preserve and exhibit the donated works. In this way the University’s cultural heritage shall be conserved, enjoyed and transmitted to future generations. This is why the University of Trieste Art Gallery was created in the humanities section of UniTS library.

The Art Gallery will be a permanent place for reflection on the relationship and mutual interaction between universities, art, culture and society. It will be a place that will allow visitors to appreciate the complexity of contemporary art, to identify the works that most move them and that best narrate both the major challenges and the opportunities arising from the rapid and profound cultural changes of our day.

The publication of the Donors Catalogue ’24 accompanies and illustrates the inauguration of the University of Trieste Art Gallery.

The opening was attended by: the Rector, Roberto Di Lenarda; the Head of the Department of Humanities, Massimo Degrassi; Francesca Fiorentini (smaTs Coordinator) and Bruno Callegher (smaTs staff member); Ilaria Garofolo, former Deputy Rector for Energy and Building management, Anna del Bianco, FVG Director for Culture and Sport; Lorenzo Michelli, curator of the installation of the Art Gallery.
 

After a tournament played at the highest level, the men’s basketball team of the University Sports Centre (CUS) of Trieste secured a brilliant silver medal at the National University Championships (CNU), held in Ancona.

More than twenty years since their last podium finish and nearly thirty years since their last championship title in 1996, the University of Trieste has returned to the top tier of university basketball, thanks to the players superbly led by head coach Dejan Faraglia and assistant coach Matteo Filippone.

Over an intense week of competition, the UniTS team first dominated their group stage, defeating the CUS teams of Macerata, Pisa, and Insubria, before overcoming the Turin side in the semi-finals. In the final, despite an outstanding performance that saw them remain in contention until the final possessions, CUS Trieste’s campaign was brought to an end by the formidable Bologna team.

‘The boys were extraordinary,’ said coach Faraglia. ‘They played five matches at an exceptionally high level and came close to matching Bologna even in the final. I’m proud of this group for delivering such an important result for both CUS Trieste and the University of Trieste after so many years.’

CUS Trieste President Michele Pipan, in addition to thanking the staff for their crucial role in achieving this result, highlighted how ‘the group managed to become and act as a true team, both on and off the court.’ In fact, during the regular season, the ten players, with few exceptions, do not play together, as they compete in higher-level leagues with other clubs. For the CNU, however, they came together to represent the University of Trieste, demonstrating a strong sense of belonging to the UniTS academic community.

The silver-medal-winning CUS Trieste team was composed of: Paolo Scoleri (Naval Engineering), Federico Paganotto (Naval Engineering), Matteo Baissero (International Economics and Financial Markets), Luca Pauletto (Medicine and Surgery), Daniel Riccio (Electronic and Computer Engineering), Matteo Varesano (Business Administration and Management), Giacomo Comelli (Health Care), Mattia Gattolini (Medicine and Surgery), Federico Gallo (Marketing and Management), Giovanni Del Ben (Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics).

From 5th to 8th June 2025, the Department of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Trieste will take part, together with Italian and Slovenian partners, in GOin4SAFETY, a large-scale cross-border exercise focused on environmental emergency management and disaster prevention. The event will take place across Gorizia, Nova Gorica and Šempeter-Vrtojba.

The initiative is part of the IN4SAFETY project, funded by the Interreg Italy–Slovenia Programme, and aims to strengthen joint response capacities in neighbouring areas across national borders. Through its Department of Engineering and Architecture, the University of Trieste contributes with research, education and technology transfer activities, particularly in the areas of environmental data georeferencing and the identification of target groups involved.

GOin4SAFETY will bring together over 500 participants from Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto, Slovenia, Croatia and Germany, including civil protection personnel, security forces, organised volunteer groups and local authorities, who will operate in complex scenarios such as earthquakes, landslides, wildfires, hazardous materials incidents and climate change-related impacts.

The programme also includes training sessions for municipal staff, volunteers, students and members of the public, as well as a command post exercise simulating large-scale emergency situations.

GOin4SAFETY offers a tangible example of European cooperation at the local level, and promotes a shared culture of prevention, risk management and territorial safety. The project is coordinated by the Municipality of Ajdovščina and involves, among others, the Geodetic Institute of Slovenia, the Metropolitan City of Venice, the International Institute of Sociology of Gorizia, the Nova Gorica Fire and Rescue Service and the University of Trieste.

Scientists from the Muon g-2 experiment, hosted at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and involving a broad international collaboration, including numerous researchers from Italy’s National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), have announced their third and final measurement of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment. This result is consistent with those published in 2021 and 2023 but achieves significantly greater precision: 127 parts per billion, surpassing the original experimental design goal of 140 parts per billion.

Muons, the focus of the Muon g-2 experiment, are fundamental particles similar to electrons but approximately 200 times more massive. Like electrons, they possess a quantum property called ‘spin,’ which endows them with a magnetic moment, making them behave like tiny magnets. When exposed to an external magnetic field, muons undergo a rotational motion known as precession, akin to the wobble of a spinning top tilted relative to a vertical axis. The precession frequency in a magnetic field depends on the muon’s properties, described by a number called the ‘g-factor.’ Nearly a century ago, theoretical physicists predicted a g-factor value of 2 based on the Standard Model of particle physics. However, experimental measurements soon revealed that g slightly exceeds 2 due to a quantity known as the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment (a_μ), calculated as (g−2)/2.

Measuring this anomaly with the highest possible precision is the objective of the Muon g-2 experiment, which derives its name from the formula (g−2)/2.

The Muon g-2 collaboration comprises 179 scientists from 37 institutions across seven countries. The Italian INFN group has been actively involved since the experiment’s inception, playing leading roles and contributing significantly to its success. They designed and implemented two systems that substantially reduced the overall uncertainty in measuring the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment: an absolute laser calibration system for the calorimeters used in energy measurements, and a high-sensitivity optical magnetometer for detecting magnetic transients. Additionally, they played a crucial role in the extensive data analysis efforts leading to the final result.

‘Thanks to the deployment and synergy of diverse expertise, from optics and laser specialists to computing and data analysis experts, the Italian INFN group was critically important to the success of the measurement,’ concludes Giovanni Cantatore, physicist at UniTS and the INFN Trieste Section, and leader of the Italian Muon g-2 team.

The muon’s anomalous magnetic moment is influenced by all particles within the Standard Model. A discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions, as observed in the past, could indicate the presence of physical processes not accounted for in the current theoretical framework, suggesting the need to revise or even extend the Standard Model. Accordingly, the international Muon g-2 Theory Initiative has worked in parallel with the experimental group to refine theoretical calculations. In addition to techniques based on data from various experiments, which previously yielded values in tension with those from Fermilab, a computational approach leveraging high-performance computing has recently been adopted. This method has produced a theoretical prediction closer to the experimental measurement, though not yet fully aligned with it.

While the primary analysis of the Muon g-2 experiment has concluded, the extensive dataset collected over the past six years offers opportunities for further exploration. In the future, the collaboration plans to measure another muon property known as the electric dipole moment and to test a fundamental symmetry in physical laws known as CPT symmetry (charge, parity, and time reversal).

An international research group has designed a new low-cost catalyst for the production of propylene, which is more efficient and sustainable, doesn’t require processing crude oil and uses less of the rare and expensive precious metal, platinum. Propylene, which is essential in the production of plastics, fibres, automotive components and electronic devices, is considered a key raw material in the industrial sector. Its annual production exceeded 160 million tonnes in 2023 with a forecast of over 200 million tonnes in 2030.

The study was published in the prestigious scientific journal ‘Nature’ and will have a significant impact on the industrial sector. Among the researchers was Paolo Fornasiero, professor at the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of Trieste, associated with the Institute of Chemistry of Organometallic Compounds of the Italian National Research Council (ICCOM-CNR) in Florence and member of the National Interuniversity Consortium for Materials Science and Technology (INSTM).

The research conducted by Professor Fornasiero and his research team presents a concrete solution, which improves what is already considered a valid alternative to the production of propylene from crude oil. The alternative is the process of the ‘dehydrogenation’ (PDH) of propane (a component of natural gas), splitting the bonds between carbon and hydrogen and as a result forming propylene and releasing hydrogen. Triggered at very high temperatures, dehydrogenation uses platinum catalysts, a metal that is easily susceptible to aggregation and deterioration when used repeatedly (the ‘sintering’ phenomenon). As well as producing propylene, the high temperatures used to trigger the reaction also lead to the formation of solid carbon deposits and other undesirable products that can compromise the catalyst. The process is, therefore, still inefficient for bridging the gap between the supply and demand of propylene.

Paolo Fornasiero, professor at the University of Trieste, associated with the ICCOM-CNR Institute in Florence and member of the INSTM consortium, commented: ‘With a view to an increasingly sustainable, less polluting and energy-intensive economy, our study offers the possibility of significantly reducing the use of platinum, maintaining or even improving performance, while avoiding the processes of decommissioning and regeneration of the catalyst currently required in industrial plants due to their rapid degradation.’

The catalysts obtained by the researchers, encapsulating platinum clusters in appropriate zeolites (minerals with crystalline and microporous structure), can actually maintain high activity and selectivity for over six months in industrial conditions, whereas catalysts currently used are active for only a few weeks.

As well as improving the overall efficiency of the process, researchers also expect significant economic and environmental benefits, such as reduced operating and maintenance costs of industrial catalysts, drastically reduced catalyst reactivation/replacement cycles, reduced waste and platinum use.

The international research group involves Professor Paolo Fornasiero, Professors Haibo Zhu and Xiaojun Bao and their collaborators from the University of Fuzhou (China), Professor Jean-Marie Basset at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Saudi Arabia), with contributions from the Qingyuan Innovation Laboratory (China) and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (China).

The publication comes just a few days after another publication on the same topic, by the same research group which appeared in the prestigious journal Science on 1st May 2025.
 

The bloody and brutal terrorist attack of 7th October 2023 has set in motion a spiral of tragic events whose end is still not in sight. The relentless cruelty of the grave humanitarian crisis afflicting Gaza has left an indelible mark on the civilian population. A particularly unbearable burden weighs on the younger generations exposed to unparalleled traumas and deprivations, generations who represent our collective future.

Rooted in its founding principles – such as freedom of thought serving as a beacon of knowledge, interaction between cultures as an antidote to intolerance, and the role of research as a tool for progress and connection between communities – the University of Trieste wishes to express profound solidarity with all the innocent victims of this prolonged conflict.

The University of Trieste confirms its ongoing commitment to actively promoting peaceful conflict resolution for the sake of mutual respect and human dignity, and to offering support to victims through the expertise of the academic community.

Over 7,000 girls and boys from Friuli Venezia Giulia will face the summer with a greater awareness of the importance of sun protection: this is the outcome of the Occhio al Sole project, which took place during the 2024-2025 school year, involving 138 first-grade secondary schools across the entire regional territory.

The project, entitled “Occhio al Sole! Buone pratiche per stare bene all’aria aperta”, was created by FondoSviluppo FVG (the mutual fund of Confcooperative FVG) and promoted by the Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia, with the patronage of the University of Trieste and the University of Udine. The activities were carried out in schools with the support of the Immaginario Scientifico, aiming to promote, from an early age, conscious behaviors to protect skin health.
Through interactive workshops lasting two hours, students explored the topic of ultraviolet rays, analyzing their effects on the body and the risks associated with unprotected sun exposure. Particular attention was given to the role of climate change, which increases the intensity and danger of UV rays. The program included experimental activities and moments of discussion, focusing on the skin and the correct use of sun protection.
The initiative saw a high level of participation: around 80% of first-grade secondary schools in Friuli Venezia Giulia – distributed across the four provinces – chose to participate. This result reflects the interest and value of the initiative and led to the confirmation of the project for the 2025-2026 school year.

Prof. Iris Zalaudek, Director of the Dermatology Clinic at the University of Trieste and the Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Giuliana Isontina, emphasized: “Educational campaigns like the ‘Occhio al Sole’ project are essential for promoting healthy behaviors from childhood, reducing the risk of skin damage such as premature aging or the increased risk of skin cancer in the long term. Several studies show that targeted school interventions significantly increase the use of sun protection and the habit of staying in the shade among children. In Australia, melanoma is one of the most common forms of cancer, particularly among young adults aged 15-25. However, in recent years, a decline in the incidence of melanoma in this age group has been observed for the first time, thanks to various public health initiatives, including the early education of young people on sun protection.”
Given the high level of participation and the success of the initiative, a second edition of the project has been confirmed for the 2025-2026 school year.
