Part of the necessary funds was promptly made available by the Student Council, which drew on their available funds for improving student services.
Measures to support flood-affected areas
To support the most severely affected cities and areas of the Multicampus, our University will provide its scientific expertise in the fields of climate change adaptation, hydrology, hydraulic engineering, crop management and the recovery of flooded fields, landslide management and assessment, geomatic methods for detection and monitoring, telecommunication systems and networks during emergencies. Four specific groups of experts have already been established, and I wish to warmly thank them. They will be available to public institutions both for immediate support and for medium- and long-term plans.
Our University will also support specific scientific projects of UniBo researchers aimed at promoting the safety and sustainability of our areas, and will organise cultural and social initiatives for fundraising purposes.
Finally, arrangements are being made to donate PCs no longer used for research activities to local public bodies and associations.
