This is the fifth consecutive podium of a UniSannio team, after the first place in 2017, the third place in 2018, the first place in 2019, the first place in 2020.

This year's students, Gerardo Ambrosecchia, Raffaele Franco, Lorenzo Gagliani and Roberto Ricci, presented a project entitled "GreenBus", created in the course of Distributed Software Architecture and Systems held by prof.
