Art. 1: Definition and objectives of the initiative
The degree courses in Civil Engineering and Construction and Land Management of the University of the Republic of San Marino are promoting, together with the Secretariats of State and the Departments for Education and for the Territory and Environment, a competition of project ideas to make their territory more eco-sustainable.
Climate change is one of the main challenges for societies in the 21st century and there is a widespread consensus in the international scientific community that the phenomenon is destined to profoundly affect future possibilities for survival and development. Climate change, in fact, is transforming the planet by impacting structures and infrastructures, compromising territorial balances, food and water supply systems and causing effects that are harmful to people's health.
An urgent challenge that goes beyond the borders of each individual nation, which requires the commitment of the central politics of each country, of the territorial bodies but also the awareness of individual citizens to use material and energy resources in a more rational and efficient way. To date, there are still many urgent measures, ecological policies, "green" investments to be adopted in the transition path towards eco-sustainability and the circular economy.
In this context, all sectors of Civil Engineering, aimed at the development and implementation of new technologies, design and management methods, play a pivotal role.
What are the urban or extra-urban design proposals that you believe can be implemented, on a small scale for a single home or on a large scale for a territory, to encourage the protection of environmental heritage and win the challenge of environmental sustainability?
With this competition of ideas, the Degree Courses in Civil Engineering and Construction and Land Management of the University of the Republic of San Marino want to contribute to stimulating inventions, technological perspectives and applications of your studies that can have real attention and potential realization in the territory.
