Reservation is required and mandatory also for self-catering, based on the above-mentioned slots: in this case you are requested to notify your presence and check your reservation at the Front Desk when accessing the canteen area.

In all other premises the use of equipped kitchens and dedicated areas is allowed used upon the condition of social distancing (1.8 m). Monitoring of flows and distribution will be performed by EUI REFS staff.

Please note: 

  • On every bus the maximum transportation capacity is of 4 passengers (2 on the 2nd row and 2 on the 3rd row, with 1 empty seat between them). No seating available next to the driver (specific signs will be placed on board);
  • Passengers may access the shuttle only after body temperature measurement (by the driver);

Post & Protocol Office

The Post & Post and Protocol office at the Badia Fiesolana is open Monday to Friday 9-12.30 / 14.30-16-00 .

The EUI shuttle bus operates a mail delivery/pick up service from all EUI premises (as per pre-Covid-19 provisions).

Please note: in compliance with the EUI policy on mail deliveries, we remind you that EUI members should use EUI addresses only for the delivery of work-related items, such as books, IT devices and the like. 

In addition to the above, if you are not supposed to come to the EUI in the upcoming days/weeks, you are kindly requested not to order items to be shipped at the EUI postal address, due to the very limited storage space available in the Post & Protocol office.

Use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

All information concerning the use of facemasks, gloves and sanitizer gels on Campus is available at this link.

Cleaning Provisions

The COVID-19 cleaning and sanitizing protocol currently in force at the EUI foresees the following provisions:

  • Offices

1 sanitization (in addition to the scheduled ordinary cleaning) p/day

  • Common areas (Canteen & Working spaces)

Sanitization of key touch-points at regular intervals and immediate sanitization of desks/chairs/workplace anytime a person leaves.

  • Restrooms

1 sanitization (in adition to the scheduled ordinary cleaning) p/day + sanitization of key touch-points at regular intervals. 

  • Aircon and Fancoil filters

Following the relevant protocol introduced by the Italian Government, maintenance staff will provide the sanitization of all filters in fancoils and aircon units across the EUI Campus on a regular basis, starting 12 May 2020.

 

Access to Campus

  • Opening Hours

As indicated in the Phase 9 safety layout, access to Campus may vary depending on the category risk level of the Tuscany region (yellow, orange or red).

Safety preventive controls are in place on every premise from 8 to 19: if accessing any building for the first time in the day after 19, you are kindly requested to comply with the following obligations:

  • Badia Fiesolana: please go to the Control Room to have your body temperature measured by security staff on duty;
  • All other premises: please send the self-declaration form to [email protected] before arrival.

Indicated closing times are valid also for people who are already inside the EUI Campus, who are therefore kindly requested to leave by that time. This is particulary important because of the necessity to start the scheduled sanitization of buildings without any delay.
