The Ciro City Simulator has been developed under the Ciro Project.

The aims of the Ciro Project are to promote the training of teachers and awareness of students, between 14 and 17 years, in the development of knowledge, skills and capabilities on climate change, sustainability, renewable energies, energy storage systems (emphasizing on hydrogen technologies) and the final applications of these technologies. The Ciro Project takes its name from one of the protagonists of Jules Verne's novel The Mysterious Island. Jules Verne foresaw in this novel that hydrogen will be the fuel of the future – at this moment, near future.

The development of the app was funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union (project 2018-1-ES01-KA201-050618).
