The partners involved are the University of Udine and the Polytechnic University of Marche, the Municipality of Udine, CAFC ltd, the Research Center Metris, Izvor Ploče, and the Municipality of Pescara. These activities are part of a coordinated action that has also been positively received and included in the Proesof 2020 initiatives programme that was postponed to September 2020 due to the latest emergency lockdown. 

We have also planned many outside events and several call to actions with the University of Split - Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy of Split and the Institute of Public Health Zadar, the Institute of Crystallography, National Research Council (IC-CNR) and the Split Water and Sewerage Company Ltd. in order to make people aware of the role that each of us can have in limiting our impact on the environment.

While waiting to be able to do all these events, our partners and their families have organised themselves and prepared some proposals that can be made at home. 

THE RAINBOW  is the second project elaborated thanks to the researcher Anna Annibaldi specialised in Analytic Chemistry that is also a mum who is staying safe at home with her kids in Fano (Italy) in this period of time. Anna comments: “How can you move water from one cup to another without pouring it? A simple hands-on experiment with a series of clear cups and paper towels lets kids explore this question. When they see water move up and then down the paper towels, there will be plenty of opportunity for discussion of capillary action, absorption, gravity, and siphoning. Adding food coloring to the science activity adds a cool rainbow effect to the experiment that is exciting to see!"
