Initiatives for mobility
Below you will find a series of initiatives implemented at USI in order to make the mobility of its own community more sustainable.
- To promote sustainable transport, USI has taken part over the years in the “Bike to Work” initiative, which takes place in May. Staff are encouraged to form teams and cycle or walk to work, thereby racking up “sustainable” kilometres.
- As part of the SEMP mobility, students who choose sustainable means of transport for their round trip will receive a financial aid (“top-up”) paid together with the balance of the scholarship (more information in the "Financial aspects" section of the USI students mobility: organizational aspects webpage).
- From September to December 2021, USI joined the Bikecoin programme: employees were able to compete and win prizes simply by using the bycicle for their home-work commutes (more information on Bilancio positivo per il progetto pilota Bikecoin (in Italian only)). A second Bikecoin campaign will be launched in the autumn semester of 2026; further details will follow.
