28 October 2016 / in Events, News / by

The Centre for Sustainable Futures dell’Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia was founded in collaboration with the Politecnico di Torino as a result of the decisions taken at the COP21, which took place in Paris in December 2015 and to which 195 countries joined. The Centre aims to develop innovative and sustainable technologies in order to prevent global warming.

One of the challenges of this Centre is to capture CO2 and reuse it as a raw material, but also to develop production technologies that are based on renewable sources.

On Thursday, November 10, 2016, in the Great Hall at the Politecnico di Torino, in Corso Duca degli Abruzzi, 24, the Director of the Centre, Guido Saracco, will explain the main targets of the Center to combat global warming: goods and services based on renewable sources, use of carbon dioxide and organic waste as a raw material, development of photo-electrochemical and bio-mimetic systems, storage and reuse of low temperature heat.

There will be also a round table to discuss climate change with professionals in the world of research, industry and economy, to formulate a message that can bring us closer to the solution.

ServireConLode.it comes from the cooperation between University of Turin, Politecnico, Salesian University Institute Turin-Rebaudengo, Città Metropolitana, Diocese of Turin and Service Centre Vol.To. It aims to offer many volunteer opportunities to university students who are attending the universities of Turin and on the whole to the academic world, teachers and administrative staff.

Over 50 voluntary organizations and charities are ready to welcome young volunteers, providing 500 volunteer opportunities and offering them the opportunity to devote their free time to people and to address their needs.

On the website aspiring volunteers can search opportunities through several filters, such as the type of service, the beneficiaries, the time slot, geographical area. Once you make a choice, by filling the form online, you will be contacted by a counselor to make a brief conversation and understand what the best solution – both for the volunteer and for the involved organization – might be. After the interview, you will be put in touch with the chosen organization and with its representatives, in order to start the voluntary work.

The aim is, on the one hand, to offer young people the ability to solve problems and work in teams; on the other, “Servire con Lode” is also a tool to provide the enthusiasm and dynamism, which is typical of the university world, to Voluntary Organizations.
