Insights from Vesuvius: Preliminary findings of pilot implementation were revealed in Naples


January 23rd / 2026

Preliminary findings of the SIMOnS' pilot implementation were presented in the fourth and last transnational meeting (TPM4) held on the 15th and 16th of January at the University of Campagnia Luigi Vanvitelli, in Naples, Italy.

Successful findings of the project's pilot implementation were revealed in the last SIMOnS meeting held at the University of Campagnia Luigi Vanvitelli (UCLV), in Naples. 

The preliminary results presented by the UCLV team and UMAIA showed that students highly regarded SIMOnS app as an important tool in digital skills development, especially for those who had lower levels of digital literacy before using the app.

All partners gathered face-to-face one last time to discuss the results of WP5 and talk about the next steps to produce the final report which will be available in six languages (English, Portuguese, Lithuanian, Greek, Italian and Finnish).

Other ongoing working packages were also discussed, namely the project management (WP1) and the communication and dissemination (WP2), in which the UPatras partner has updated the team on social media metrics.  

Also on WP2, the team has shared the dates and the dissemination material prepared for the multiplier events that will occur up to to the end of January.

After the sunny lunch, on the first day, at the rooftop of the building, the team went for a visit to the Museum of Human Anatomy (MUSA) where rare and ancient collections were displayed.

Originally rooted in private collections from as early as the 1600s and formalised in the late 18th century, this museum offers a profound, and somewhat unsettling journey through the evolution of medical science in Naples, blending scientific rigour with the macabre beauty of anatomical preservation in the heart of the city.

Naples and Maradona

Naples has literally turned Diego Maradona into a religion.

In the streets of the city countless murals, small shrines, candles, flowers, and real altars are dedicated to the Argentine legend, sometimes painted side by side with images of San Gennaro, the city’s official patron saint. 

SIMOnS met in smoking Vesuvio

After the productive meetings in Naples, several partners seised the opportunity to explore the region's wonders, venturing to the preserved ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum (Ercolano), where time-frozen ruins whisper stories of life before the fateful eruption of 79 AD. The day culminated in an ascent to the still-smoking crater of Mount Vesuvius itself, where the group gathered at the top, gazing into the landscape and the soul of Naples.
