“CO2 PACMAN, decarbonizing the Mediterranean islands" is the podcast in which uRadio and the University of Siena drive you on the journey to discover co-creation scenarios for the transition towards climate-neutral Mediterranean islands.
CO2 PACMAN is a European project, financed by the Interreg Euro Med programme, which aims to decarbonize the Mediterranean islands. The kick off meeting of the project was hosted by the city of Siena in March 2024, and during this three-day event ten partners from seven European countries involved in the project activities met each other for the first time. The event has been led by Professor Simone Bastianoni of the University of Siena.
uRadio, as an associated partner of UNISI, has become part of this participatory process which sees various actors involved, as we believe that the voice of university students is fundamental for a sustainable development in the Mediterranean islands.
