The City Council of Turin unanimously voted on a motion requiring travel tickets purchased and not used due to the emergency to have an extension of validity (for an equal number of days of inactivity) or a partial refund.
The Board has therefore received a commitment to speak with the Piedmont Region, with AMP, with public transport managers and with Gtt to define how the measure should be applied.
The 2020 edition of Waste Mob is incompatible with the distancing imposed by Covid-19, but the commitment of the universities does not go out and thus a social campaign is born to raise awareness on the concepts of circular economy and upcycling and on the theme of the reuse of objects and materials which have lost their original purpose and which would be disposed of. The campaign is called # madeincasa2020 and will be held from 18 to 27 May 2020, on the social channels of the University of Turin, the Polytechnic of Turin, the University of Eastern Piedmont, the Turin University Sports Center and the University Center Sportivo Piemonte Orientale.
Having to spend a lot of time in our homes, we dedicated ourselves to extraordinary cleaning and to clearing the spaces we live in from unused or no longer functional objects. Instead of throwing them away, this is an opportunity to find a new purpose for them. To participate in # madeincasa2020 it will be sufficient to publish on Instagram the photos of the objects that have been given a “second chance” or those made using reused waste materials. Each post must be accompanied by the hashtag of the event # madeincasa2020 and by the mention of the University of belonging. Photos of the most interesting and innovative ideas will be shared by universities and CUS. The initiative is open not only to students and staff of universities and university sports centers, but also to all citizens of the Piedmont region.
Prizes are also expected this year, which will be drawn by lot on May 29, 2020 among those who 50 T-shirts, 10 tracksuits and 5 sports experiences will take part in the campaign (weekend on a sailing boat, climbing climbing, rental of fields, entrance fee to the swimming pool) made available by the Piedmont University Sports Centers and the Piedmont university system. The results of the final draw and the communications for the winners will be published on the Instagram profiles of the organizers and on the Facebook page of the event, where the initiative’s regulation, further information and many tips for reusing objects and materials recovered at home are available.
The TIL (Test in Laib) to enroll in the 2020/2021 academic year at the Engineering degree courses at the Polytechnic of Turin will be held remotely and will therefore be supported from home, following a specific protocol that will be made known as soon as possible.

The decision to cancel the 74th edition of the National University Championships which should have been held from 22 to 31 May was taken by the junta of the CUSI (Italian University Sports Center), represented by the President Antonio Dima, and by the Turin University Sports Center, represented by the President Riccardo D’Elicio, as organizing body, following the persistence of the emergency linked to the Coronavirus epidemic present in our country, taking into account the measures issued by the state administration and local authorities. Furthermore, it is not currently possible to establish with certainty when the current restrictions will end, in particular as regards the organization of sporting events.
At least until July, all the teaching activities of the Politecnico di Torino – including exams and degree discussions – will continue to take place exclusively online, as experienced in these first months of suspension of activities in attendance. The persistence of the uncertain situation due to the health emergency from Covid-19 and the need to plan the summer session of the profit exams (15/06/2020 – 25/07/2020) and graduation (July 2020), giving students with adequate notice of the dates of the individual appeals, led to the decision taken by the Academic Senate to continue with the methods used so far; this precisely to avoid displacements to a large number of students who, otherwise, should be present in the University, moreover in a period in which restrictions on mobility remain within the national territory and, even more so, from abroad.
Already on February 28, 2020, in order to face the health emergency, the University had foreseen the possibility of carrying out oral exams and degree exams through video communication tools, subsequently extending the winter session of exams until 15 May 2020 to allow the recovery of the exams that have not yet been carried out. The performance of the remote exam and graduation exam session has been fairly regular in these months, after a first phase of adjustment. To date, 4,400 oral and written exams have been held on paper with video surveillance by the teachers or via PC with the use of the University Exam platform integrated with remote control tools. The lessons of the second semester were immediately converted into online mode, allowing the experimentation of new forms of teaching and guaranteeing all students to have access to the activities, even in a lockdown situation. There were more than 800 courses delivered remotely, with the participation of nearly 30,000 students and the involvement of 2,000 teachers and teaching collaborators – who make up practically all the professors with courses in the semester.
Taking these elements into account, the Polytechnic has established, again with the resolution of the Academic Senate, to guarantee, for the entire Academic Year 2020/2021, the provision of the entire first and second level training offer in online mode.
