Politecnico di Milano aims to contribute to societal growth in a logic of responsibility and reciprocity through innovative forms of collaboration between the University and the local community, bringing its expertise and innovative content to more vulnerable contexts, activating programmes of co-learning and co-production of knowledge.

In the 2023-25 period we will: 

  • strengthen the Off Campus programme through which the University expresses its commitment and connection to the local community, expanding its educational and cultural offers 
  • build, around the Off Campus initiative, a collaborative platform with local stakeholders in synergy with the Polimi4nonprofit project 
  • Building upon the Off Campus experience, develop a 'sustainable model' of social innovation in proximity
