Back to Trento and departure
* The Departments of Engineering are located near the city in the surrounding area. To promote Sustainability and Green Mobility Policies, we will make the transfers by using Trento’s public transportation service. Therefore, we strongly suggest participants not to bring their luggage if planning to leave just after the activities because we will come back to the city center. Luggage storage will be provided if necessary.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to be part of the GE4 Summit, where together, we'll shape the future of global education for sustainability. We look forward to welcoming you to Trento!
