The POLIMI School of Management of the Politecnico di Milano is taking part in the MEETmeTonight, the event taking place in Milan on 26–27 September 2025 as part of the European Researchers’ Night. The initiative is dedicated to science outreach, with activities, workshops and talks designed to bring the world of research closer to the public.
Inspired by the missions of the Horizon Europe programme, the 2025 edition will be structured around five thematic areas featuring talks, workshops, interactive activities and performances. Throughout the event, audiences will explore some of the major global challenges of our time: from health to sustainability, and from innovation to the complex relationship between technology and society.
The initiative, free and open to everyone, will be held at the Università Statale di Milano, Via Festa del Perdono 7. It will be an opportunity to meet also researchers from the POLIMI School of Management and gain insights into how research helps us understand social, economic and technological change.
