UNIVERSITA TELEMATICA INTERNAZIONALE-UNINETTUNO

Their core work

UNINETTUNO is an Italian online university (telematic university) based in Rome, specializing in distance learning and digital education. In the H2020 context, they focus on citizen engagement with climate and environmental topics, designing educational frameworks and digital tools for public awareness. Their strength lies in building online learning platforms and curricula — notably creating ECCEL, a European "driving license" for climate and environmental competences. They also work on ICT-based integration tools for migrants and refugees.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

UNINETTUNO entered H2020 with a focus on digital inclusion and ICT-enabled social integration (REBUILD, 2019), then shifted decisively toward climate and environmental education. Their later projects (NET and GreenSCENT, 2020-2024) show a clear pivot to public engagement with sustainability, culminating in the ambitious ECCEL certification framework. The trajectory moves from general digital education tools toward domain-specific environmental competence building.

UNINETTUNO is positioning itself as a go-to partner for EU projects that need scalable online education components on climate and environmental literacy.

How they like to work

UNINETTUNO splits evenly between coordinating and participating — they led 2 of their 4 projects, including the largest (GreenSCENT, ~€1M). With 33 unique partners across 12 countries, they build broad European consortia rather than relying on repeat partnerships. This suggests they are comfortable leading mid-sized projects and bring a specific capability (online education platforms) that different consortia seek out.

UNINETTUNO has collaborated with 33 distinct partners across 12 European countries, indicating a well-connected network for a university with only 4 H2020 projects. Their geographic reach spans broadly across Europe without a strong regional cluster.

What sets them apart

UNINETTUNO's distinct advantage is being a fully online university — they can design, build, and deliver scalable e-learning components that most traditional universities cannot match in flexibility or reach. Their ECCEL "driving license" concept for climate competences shows they can create certification frameworks, not just course content. For consortium builders needing a partner to handle the education, training, or citizen engagement work package, UNINETTUNO brings both the pedagogical expertise and the digital infrastructure.

Highlights from their portfolio

• GreenSCENT
  Their largest project (€993K, coordinator role) creating a European climate competence certification — ambitious in scope with 100+ experts involved.
• REBUILD
  Coordinator role on ICT-enabled migrant integration, showing their ability to apply digital education tools to pressing social challenges beyond climate.
