20 September: Unipd participates in Giretto d'Italia 2023

13.09.2023

The annually held European Mobility Week is an initiative that encourages communities to promote sustainable modes of transportation. As such, The University of Padua will join the Giretto d'Italia on Wednesday, September 20, 2023.

The goal behind this competition between other communities and cities is to promote the use of cycling and other electric micro-mobility solutions for commuting to work or places of study from home by encouraging participants to use electric scooters, monowheels, E-bikes, hoverboards, and Segways.

Unipd students, staff and all those who want to support the initiative may do so using a cycling or using an electric mobility vehicle and passing checkpoints at specific time slots between 7 am and 10 am on the morning of Wednesday, September 20.

The winner of the initiative goes to the city or University with the highest number of participants passing checkpoints on board sustainable mobility vehicles. Participate can simply pass through one of the monitored checkpoints while travel to or from the University to be considered.
