This event marks the close of the Una Europa seed-funded project, "Knowledge hub to promote the transition towards resilient cities and communities". The purpose of this event is to share outcomes and a future plan of activity on sustainability and related issues at Una Europa partner universities. The event is open to anyone from an Una Europa university with an interest in sustainability and climate change in education, as well as education in connection with funding and with innovation.

About the Project

Knowledge hub to promote the transition towards resilient cities and communities is a collaborative, seed-funded project that aims to design a knowledge hub within Una Europa to support the transition to resilient communities.

Extreme events caused by climate change have progressively increased in frequency and severity strongly affecting our cities and regions. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has further demonstrated that our communities are not resilient: the economic and social systems struggle in mitigating the effects of lockdowns. Thus, a crisp change would be required in all sectors to build a resilient society and economy able to tackle pandemic and climate change threats. among others: economics, energy, social relationship, preservation of biodiversity, buildings, mobility, sustainable production and consumption cycle. This revolutionary change needs a cultural revolution, grounded on strong, shared, and inclusive education system.

In this framework, the project aims at making a survey on the existing education activities within the Universities of the Una Europa network that apply to resilience, climate change and circular economy related concepts and approaches.

the K-R hub project received funding from the Una Europa Seed Fund initiative.
