THE VIVAIO BICOCCA: THE SYMBOL OF THE RESTART

The wellbeing of the individual is the main objective of the restart of the University of Milan-Bicocca, which aims to offer students, staff and citizens a healthy and stimulating place where people can reach and maintain their personal potential in society. The Vivaio is not only a ‘nursery’ for biodiversity, plant breeding and the promotion of ecosystem services, but also a place to develop new ideas, devise new projects, address complex issues and above all develop constructive relationships.

This place will therefore be central to interactive and integrated education, multidisciplinary research and citizen involvement in participatory projects according to the principles of ‘Innovative and Responsible Research’, RRI.

THE VIVAIO BICOCCA MASCOT: THE FIRECREST

Among the bird species first recorded in the Vivaio Bicocca, the firecrest (Regulus ignicapilla) certainly stands out. Although this passerine bird is the smallest in the whole Western Palaearctic (only 5 g in weight), its plumage is striking and its acute calls and songs are easily identifiable, even at long distances.

“6 PASSI NEL VERDE”, 6 STEPS TOWARDS GREEN CHANGES

The 6 STEPS TOWARDS GREEN CHANGES project was created with the aim of transforming the University of Milano-Bicocca and Municipality 9 of Milan from a socio-cultural point of view by giving them a green footprint, promoting ecological connection and ultimately personal well-being.
