  • Funder: European Commission Project Code: 2023-1-IT02-KA171-HED-000135550
    Funder Contribution: 883,327 EUR

    This action supports physical and blended mobility of higher education students and staff from/to third countries not associated to Erasmus+. Students in all study fields and cycles can take part in a study period or traineeship abroad. Higher education teaching and administrative staff can take part in professional development activities abroad, as well as staff from the field of work in order to teach and train students or staff at higher education institutions.

    The University of Naples Federico II is a huge University with almost 85.000 students and 5000 employees, between teachers and administrative staff. The University gives great attention to the Erasmus programme,being aware of its importance and that a period of study abroad is very well evaluated in the students’ curricula. The whole programme activities are managed by the International Central Office assisted by theErasmus Board where, all the 26 departments are represented. In addition, in every department there is a resource cooperating with all matters related to students’ careers. The International Office works out aselection procedure call for the study and traineeship Erasmus scholarships through a digital process. The candidates’ selection is carried out from each department that has the main task to verify whether the candidates’ profiles fit the expectancies of the partner institutions, the level of study, language requirements, curriculum vitae and motivations. The International Office tries to treasure all the past experiences making avilable as most information as possible to students - where available - addressing this way their choices in the right direction. The university gives every students the opportunity to follow French, Spanish and German language courses (free of charge) and to give placement test to verify the level of language knowledge and obtain a final statement that a growing number of universities requests. All administrative aspects following the selection procedure, such as nominations, grant agreements, Learning agreements transmission abroad and their changes, are all managed from the international office that is made up of 9 persons, five of which are totally dedicated to the Erasmus programme activity. As far as Traineeship mobilities, and coherently with the EPS, these are mostly addressed to 2nd level students or PhD students, with a growing number of recently graduated students, in the aim to reserve such a professionalizing experience to students who are closer to the study cycle conclusion and so more motivated to enter the job market. The placement rate is a very weak aspect that damages the image and fame of southern Italy universities. From a wider point of view, Erasmus mobilities register a steady balance with those of last year. Another serious weakness of our university is the incoming mobility with a ratio of three to one; data of the last two years are steadily growing with satisfaction of all the parties involved. Unfortunately, the territory does not help and does not play particular appeal on students: many of the incoming students declare that Naples is not their first choice. To help the solution of this delicate question, the Rector of our university has decided to renew the contract to a private company that helps students in finding accomodation and in bureaucratic questions (the service is totally free for students). The costs of the service are charged for from the university itself through OS funds or through proper funds. In addition, thanks to the cooperation of Centro Linguistico di Ateneo, students are offered Italian language courses at the beginning of each semester. During the last two years, the University of Naples has registered a satisfactory, though light, increase in the number of incoming mobilities and is investing a lot in making the learning offer more appealing and fitting students' expectancies. As to teachers mobilities, also during the year 2017-18, the University, has opened a call that gave very good results and contributed to make the whole process simpler and clearer. On the other hand, as to staff mobilities, they are all reserved to the International Office staff that uses them to meet colleagues and exchange best practices related to the management of Erasmus programme and to disseminate services and opportunities offered by the university of Naples. In terms of communication the International office, in the aim of spreading as soon as possible all useful information, has opened a Facebook account Erasmus-Unina Federico II

    Halide perovskites are the next big thing in solar energy. State-of-the-art perovskite solar cells outperform established technologies with the advantage of processing from solution. Solution-processed perovskite solar cells are made spraying a precursor ink onto a substrate: the perovskite forms as the chemicals contained in the ink crystallize. This production process makes halide perovskites a valid low-cost alternative established material such as silicon. Furthermore, halide perovskite can work in tandem with silicon to break the theoretical power conversion efficiency limit of 33% according to the Shockley-Queisser model. However, the most effective photovoltaic perovskites contain more than 10% by weight of lead, which overstep the limits adopted in most of the countries to regulate the use of heavy metals in electronics. The FREENERGY project aims at achieving efficient and cost-effective lead-free perovskites replacing lead (Pb) with tin (Sn). We have demonstrated that tin is relatively inert if dispersed in the environment as compared to lead, which is prone to enter into plants and thus into the food chain. This solution does not present any manufacturing issue, as making tin-based perovskite is very similar to make lead-based perovskite. The main obstacle is represented by the low chemical stability of Sn2+, which is very prone to be oxidized to Sn4+. We have identified three key strategies: • Inorganic cations: We found that organic cations comprising perovskite are more prone than inorganic in to activate the Sn oxidation. We have selected a series of inorganic cations comprising Cs and K to replace the organics most commonly used. • Alternative solvents: dimethyl sulfoxide is currently used to synthesize the perovskite, but it contributes to the oxidation. We identified alternative solvents to overcome this issue. • Reducing additives: The perovskite materials are deposited from a solution comprising the precursor of the materials and the solvents.

    The project we intend to propose is called DIGILAND (acronym for ‘DIGItal_skiLls for a sustAiNable Development of the environment, economy and social values’). The project will focus on the impact of digital development on environmental protection, economic optimum, and social values. These domains will be analysed following a comprehensive and comparative approach, designed to understand and outline the relation between them. The relevance of a joint approach emerges from the principle of coherence, enshrined in the Treaties establishing the European Union. In particular, a specific module on the topics covered by the project will be activated within the framework of the EU Law, Comparative Constitutional Justice and International Organisation courses, intended for students enrolled in the degree courses in Law and in Political Science and in the postgraduate course in 'European Union Law: Protection of Rights' (University of Naples Federico II).The module aims to contribute to the training of students by enriching the traditional topics of the courses with an in-depth study of a highly topical and practical subject. The watchword will be flexibility. The training activities will be adapted to the daily needs and study requirements, through the use of interactive modes accessible to all learners, including those with disabilities. In fact, part of activities will be carried out online, through different formats: lectures and seminars in webinar mode, podcasts. Finally, there will be at least three conferences with experts in the field and open to students from all courses participating in the project. The results of the research will be published in a printed volume, presented at the closing event of the module.
