The new issue of SOMe, the eMagazine of the POLIMI School of Management, is now online, featuring research, projects and collaborations that demonstrate our School’s commitment to addressing today’s most pressing challenges.

From short food chains to 5G, exploring European projects and international achievements

This edition explores how short food chains contribute to sustainability, the opportunities offered by 5G positioning, and the role of cross-sector partnerships in driving urban transformation. It also highlights two major EU-funded projects: ADALTIM, focused on Impact Rating, and RISE-IN, developing resilient solutions and innovative financing models to tackle climate change.

Other features include key events hosted by the School, such as the iBEGIN Workshop on digital globalization, the XXXIII AEDE Meeting on education and policy, and the INFLUENCES Workshop on inflation. The issue also introduces HumanTech | Unfolding Pathways for the More-than-Human Society, a public event taking place on 30 October 2025, dedicated to exploring the interaction between technology and people in the digital transition, with contributions from companies and professionals.

Finally, the issue celebrates the School’s latest milestones: Politecnico di Milano entering the Top 100 of the QS World University Rankings, the POLIMI Graduate School of Management’s recognition as a Pioneering School in the 2025 Positive Impact Rating, and new partnerships and networks strengthening international collaboration.
