WHAT WENT WRONG? SMART CITIES AND MOBILITY CASE
Are you a student interested in understanding what can go wrong in an energy sector project… and how a mistake can be turned into a valuable learning opportunity?
Take part in WHAT WENT WRONG? Smart Cities and Mobility Case, an interactive format designed to challenge you with real-world cases from the smart cities and mobility sector, presented directly by companies and professionals from the field.
During the event, you will be actively involved in practical challenges related, for example, to sustainable mobility, public transportation, smart infrastructures, integrated transport systems, traffic management, urban planning, digitalization of urban services, Internet of Things, sustainability, and technological innovation.
Each company will present a real problem faced in a smart cities or mobility project and invite you to analyze the context, identify where things went wrong, and choose the solution you believe is correct between two possible options.
You will be able to submit your choice in real time through a live poll, comparing your reasoning with that of other students. Immediately afterward, the company will explain how the issue was actually resolved, outlining the decisions made, the mistakes encountered, and the key lessons learned.
The event will conclude with a Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to dive deeper into the cases, ask direct questions to industry professionals, and better understand the skills required in energy sector projects.
A dynamic and engaging format to strengthen your problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills, bringing you closer to the real challenges of the energy transition and the professional world.

Please note that the event will be held in Italian and is part of the Career Service Award.
