Cooperation with UNESCO
The Chair actively engages with the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme, fostering international cooperation, knowledge exchange, and joint initiatives for sustainable development.
Academic & Local Collaboration
The Chair maintains regular collaboration with the UNESCO Chair on Energy for Sustainable Development at Politecnico di Milano, mainly through joint activities within the CUCS Network and the exchange of seminars and lectures on human and sustainable development.
At the local level, since 2023 the Chair has been actively engaged with the Water Museums Global Network (WAMU-NET), contributing to seminars and joint initiatives in collaboration with institutions such as MUSE and the Autonomous Province of Trento.
It also participated in the first Coordination of UNESCO Realities in Trento Province (20 November 2024), aimed at fostering dialogue and cooperation among UNESCO-related entities in the region.
National Network
At the national level, the Chair has been an active member of RECUI (the Italian Network of UNESCO Chairs) since 2023, contributing to the strengthening of collaboration among Italian UNESCO Chairs.
Its role within the network includes facilitating coordination between RECUI and the CUCS Network, particularly due to the Chair’s involvement in both initiatives, and promoting synergies between academic institutions engaged in sustainable development.
The Chair also leads the RECUI working group on biodiversity, supporting the development of shared strategies, knowledge exchange, and collaborative activities at the national level.
International Activities
At the international level, the Chair contributed to the organization of the Ge4 Annual Summit 2024, “Global Education for a Sustainable Future” (Trento, 19–21 June 2024), which brought together experts and educators to explore innovative approaches to sustainability through education.
During the summit, the Chair moderated a session on “Engineering for Human and Sustainable Development”.
The event also provided an opportunity to strengthen collaboration with UNESCO Chairs from Kenya and India, reinforcing ongoing exchanges of knowledge and practices.
