Take part in the GRINS challenge: you could win a bicycle or an insulated water bottle

Download the app, take part in the challenges and score points. You can win prizes and help us improve mobility services.

The University of Bologna is conducting a survey on the mobility and spending habits of its student community. The aim is to better understand the needs of those who study and live on the University's campuses to improve hospitality and services, particularly those related to travel.
