Area and Global Studies for International Cooperation - AGIC

We are pleased to announce that the partners of the EIT Community New European Bauhaus will host 6 Hackathons, with the ambition to develop innovative solutions in response to the main challenges facing communities and urban centres in Europe. At the Italian level, the NEBathon - NEB4Cities - is organised by the Department of Management of the University of Turin and will take place, from 20 to 22 October, at SAA, School of Business Administration, via Ventimiglia 115, 10126, Turin.

If the planet is racing towards climate neutrality, it is in urban areas that the transformation will begin to take place. According to the United Nations, cities produce more than 60% of global CO2 emissions, but they are also places in turmoil, involving a variety of stakeholders in the fight against climate change, with beautiful, sustainable and inclusive innovative actions and solutions.
