Description

Politecnico di Milano since 1863 – A world class university for Architecture, Design and Engineering. The Politecnico di Milano is one of the most outstanding technical Universities in Europe. Founded in 1863, it is regarded worldwide as a leading research institution in many disciplines.

The Politecnico di Milano continues climbing the QS World University Rankings, reaching the 137th place in the 2021 edition. Among Engineering and Technical universities, currently it’s ranked 20th worldwide and 7th in Europe. The university has three main campuses located in Milan, the economic capital of Italy, the heart of fashion and design industries, and five more premises around the Lombardy region. Many important scientists and architects studied and taught here, among them Achille Castiglioni, Gió Ponti, Renzo Piano and Aldo Rossi, both Pritzker Prize in 1990 and 1998 respectively, and Giulio Natta, Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1963. The Politecnico di Milano offers innovative programs at all levels within its schools of Engineering, Architecture and Design. Thanks to a strong internationalization policy, almost all programs at the master level are taught entirely in English, attracting an ever-increasing number of talented foreign students, forming a wide community from more than 100 countries.

Teaching is increasingly related to research, a key commitment that enables to achieve results of high international standards, while creating connections with the business world. Strategic research is carried out mainly in the fields of energy, transport, planning, management, design, mathematics and natural and applied sciences, ICT, built environment, cultural heritage, with more than 130 laboratories including a Wind Tunnel, a Crash Test center, PoliFAB, PoliFactory, and the Industry 4.0 Lab.

Politecnico di Milano joins the e-SHyIPS project with the Department of Management, Economics, and Industrial Engineering (DIG, Dipartimento di Ingegneria Gestionale), which counts with a team of almost 70 researchers with expertise in several manufacturing areas. Among the facilities of the DIG, the Industry 4.0 Lab is one of the key assets as it bridges the interdisciplinary research between industrial, mechanical, automation and electronic engineering.
