Continuous and synergistic collaboration
Adopting a multidisciplinary approach for a better future
More than 8000 of our students and nearly 800 members of our scientific staff are international. The scientific community of the Politecnico di Milano is guided by a shared goal: to create a better world through research, training and innovation. In our DNA lies a multidisciplinary approach that unites experts from all fields, beyond the fences between Architecture, Design and Engineering. We carry out advanced and fundamental research activities, as well as innovative industrial applications, through partnerships with academia and industry around the world. We develop new interdisciplinary lines of research to address societal challenges and incorporate scientific developments and research results into university education. We also cooperate intensively with other universities in the field of education and science.
We strongly believe in the importance of continuous and synergistic collaboration with companies and institutions. The goal is to listen to the outside world and facilitate the transfer of skills and technologies from the university to society.
We work according to our values: responsibility, respect, integrity, professionalism, fairness, trust and transparency. Each member of the community operates in accordance with these values, draws inspiration from them, and feels responsible for promoting them.
