APPLICATION FORM. In this section, please declare: the objectives and expected results of the project (see section 1), the planned activities, the description of Work packages (see section 2 and 3), and the financial and economic sustainability profile (section 4). 1. Objectives and expected results 1. Ecological transition, land degrad-regeneration, Earth Observ monitoring, cultural landscapes, Natural Based Solution, Water Waste-recycling; 2. Economic-social-finance tools to decrease land degradation and revitalise rural marginal areas; 3. Medicine and social innovation with a keen emphasis on gender equality and on digital green tools; 4. Gender for sustainability, tech innovation and innovative teaching. The project includes the mobility of about n. 185 incoming/outgoing students and n. 150 lectures; the realisation of 2 Specialized Academies Post-Graduated Masters, 1 Transversal Advanced course, 1 Advanced Emerg Medic skills course. The project also includes the consolidation of 1 Double Degree. The outcomes can be articulated in terms of innovation, internationalization, cooperation and promotion of academic programs: - Innovation: transnational educational initiatives will deal with several models, concepts, sectors (econ, humanities, medic, agroecosystems, ecology..) related to the concept of sustainability: indeed, the logo has the shape of a diamond/atom that spreads light towards the involved countries. Furthermore, the innovative aspect extends to the project leadership with 6 out of 10 women as the scientific responsible, emphasising Gender equality that will be guaranteed also during the project (n. students and n. lecturers). - Internationalisation: different Italian regions, different countries and different areas and levels of economic-social development. In addition, all the Universities represent a coral proposal as each University partner has collected the interests of several departments (e.g. the Lead Partner will contribute with 6 Dep: Econ, Manag and terr (DEMET), Medic, Human (DISTUM), Law and Agric Sciences, Natural resources and Engin (DAFNE). - Cooperation and promotion of academic programs: starting from previous networks of the 10 Universities, the project aims to promote innovative green academic programs and new educative ways of networking in countries not often involved in projects (Palestine and Morocco) and transversal training against violence of women. The title Green&Pink for Sustainable education has different important meanings, strengthened by the acronym: GPS means global positioning system and was born from the need of USA armed forces to operate in every corner of the world that it replaced the traditional ground transmitting stations with artificial system in orbit. Like the signal that are transmitted from a satellite to another in the global positioning system, the project will transmit “signal” among the Italian and international universities involved in the project to connect different parts of the world. ‘Education’ is expressed like a mathematical power in order to highlight its multiplicative role to increase the level of internationalization. ‘Green’ represents sustainability and is the recursive adjective/colour used in public debut, international strategies, research and so teaching [4,5,8,10,17 SDGs (UN, 2021);NRRP (2021);Green Deal (2019)]. Gender equality perspective is included and it is another central global theme also dealt by SDGs’ objective 5 (2021). ‘Pink’ has different meanings beyond to individuate the female gender: the color ‘Pink’ was born in 700 D.C. and it individuates a bold and strength colour but also it is a symbol of hope, safety and optimism. Finally, to build trust and long-term relationships around the world within a Green&Pink context, with a focus also on combating violence against women, is a paramount GOAL of this proposal. 1.1.
