Delegation of Ghanaian teachers visits the Cremona Campus

From 3 to 7 February, a delegation of Ghanaian professors visited the Politecnico di Milano for a training workshop, held by research groups from the Departments of Energy; Civil and Environmental Engineering; Electronics, Information and Bioengineering; and Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering.

On 4 February, in particular, the program stopped off in Cremona with a visit to the A. Rozzi Laboratory of the Bioenergy Factory and a demonstration of a robot designed within the laboratory RObotic SEnsors Technologies for Environment and Agriculture (ROSETEA) as an example of innovative technology developed in the field of agricultural automation. To complete the training day, the delegation visited the main tourist attractions of the City of Stradivari.

During the rest of the week, professors also had the opportunity to visit some research laboratories, the new EN:lab building of the Department of Energy and a farm linked to innovative agricultural practices.

The initiative is part of the Erasmus+ Impression project, coordinated by RWTH Aachen University, which involves three Ghanaian universities with the aim of improving study programmes in Ghana on sustainability and digitalization issues, specifically on agriculture, water and energy, identified as key sectors for sustainable development in Ghana.
