GreenWave MOST
GreenWave MOST is a research and innovation project dedicated to sustainable mobility, integrating advanced technological development, experimentation in real contexts, and a strong commitment to communication and inclusion. Led by the University of Bologna in collaboration with the University of Genoa, the project has explored the potential of low-emission mobility solutions through the design and construction of land and marine vehicles powered by solar energy and electric and hydrogen technologies.
Conceived as an interdisciplinary platform, GreenWave MOST has combined academic research, prototyping, and participation in international competitions, used as real open-air laboratories to test the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of the developed solutions. At the same time, the project has paid great attention to scientific dissemination and public engagement, promoting a culture of sustainable mobility through events, exhibitions, and multimedia content.
A distinctive element of GreenWave MOST has been its inclusive approach, with particular attention to enhancing the role of women in research and engineering paths, helping to counteract gender stereotypes in STEM fields. The project has also worked towards building a lasting legacy, strengthening institutional collaborations and fostering the emergence of student initiatives capable of continuing activities beyond the formal conclusion of the program.
Therefore, GreenWave MOST is configured not only as a research project but also as a replicable model of sustainable innovation, capable of combining technology, education, social impact, and a long-term vision.
