Frosinone’s inclined lift gets a makeover in the name of sustainability and environmental friendliness
In today’s episode of Eu Factor Next we will talk about the ‘Metro Cagliari Repubblica-Matteotti’ project. The project concerns the extension of Line 1 from its current terminus in Piazza Repubblica to Viale Diaz – Viale Bonaria in Cagliari, with an investment amounting to EUR 26 million.
The project represents a significant step towards improving public transport in the city. The hardest challenges to overcome were those related to administrative and technical procedures. This is because it is an infrastructure-impacting project and therefore requires a very high number of authorisations from the various bodies. Each of these procedures has set timeframes, which extend over time, so years pass before work begins, also because of archaeological discoveries.
Nevertheless, from a collective point of view, the benefits are the reduction of urban traffic due to the shift of car travellers to public transport and, consequently, of pollutant emissions and CO2 concentrations towards greater environmental protection and overall sustainability.
European funding was very important for this project, and the reinforcement of Cagliari’s metro line is expected by all citizens, who recognise the ARST company as a reference point for safe and sustainable travel, both environmentally and economically.

As part of the activities related to the Festival of University Radio (FRU), organised by RADUNI – Association of University Radio Operators at La Sapienza University of Rome from 16 to 18 May, a podcast was produced focusing on issues at the heart of youth debates and the Interrail travel experience in Europe.
For the occasion, three of the young European journalists working with the EU Factor Next project were involved in the live recording of the podcast with the aim of exploring the perspectives and challenges faced by young Europeans and analysing the impact of the EU cohesion policy on their lives and their journey across the continent.
Through interviews, discussions and travel narratives, the podcast provided an insight into the experiences and aspirations of young Europeans regarding travel issues, highlighting the crucial role of European cohesion and integration in shaping the future of the EU.
The podcast was broadcast live on Radio Sapienza and then on several radio stations throughout Italy, but is now available at this link: https://www.raduni.org/podcast/europhonica-al-fru24-con-i-giovani-giornalisti-del-progetto-eu-factor-next/
The European Commission chose the theme of skills for the awareness-raising campaign of the European Year 2023, confirming it for 2024 as well, indicating the will to address this issue in future policies. In line with the European Year of Competencies, the Emilia-Romagna Region has approved Regional Law 2/2023 for the attraction, retention and valorisation of highly specialised talents, aimed at improving the attractiveness, innovation and competitiveness of the regional system. We interviewed Lara Porciatti from ART-ER to explore the regional initiatives, especially those related to digital transition. The aim of the article is to analyse the European skills framework and the main initiatives undertaken at EU and regional level for training and talent attraction.

The Secchia river is a significant watercourse that has always been important for agriculture in Emilia-Romagna. However, its natural course has been modified over the years, with significant consequences for the surrounding territory.
The Secchia is an important ecological corridor connecting the Apennines and the Po river system. In recent decades, its river area has undergone major redevelopment projects that have made it possible to preserve its natural peculiarities, while guaranteeing safe access for citizens.
In order to ensure the safety and stability of the area surrounding the Secchia River, several measures must be implemented. These measures have been ongoing for many years and some remarkable results have already been achieved. Among the major interventions is the ‘Interventions in the Secchia River Basin’ project for territorial safety.
