Made in Polimi – Storie di Ingegneria Gestionale

 

‘Made in Polimi – Storie di Ingegneria Gestionale’ (Stories of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering) has just been inaugurated, the exhibition that tells of the creation and evolution of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, in a time perspective of over 50 years.

This adventure, which really kicked off with the start of the degree programme in ‘Engineering of Industrial Technologies with an Organizational Economic Track’ whose 40th anniversary is being celebrated this year, was made possible thanks to the many professors who strongly believed in the project and enthusiastically built educational and research programmes that were profoundly innovative for the times in which they were conceived. The exhibition traces the most significant phases in five multimedia panels: degree programme, department, observatories, graduate school. A physical and digital place where we can rediscover the full awareness of our ‘roots’ on a daily basis, which are behind the imagination and the construction of our future.

The inauguration ceremony was opened by Alessandro Perego, Head of the Department of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering and promoter of the project, together with the rector Ferruccio Resta and the newly elected rector Donatella Sciuto. Next Federico Bucci, Vice Rector and delegate for Cultural Policies, illustrated the project as a whole. Then the curators Umberto Bertelè, Armando Brandolese, Remigio Ruggeri, Emilio Bartezzaghi went into detail on the breakdown of the contents, the objectives and the method followed in the construction of the narrative, evoking some iconic episodes from the beginning. Before the ribbon cutting, Lola Ottolini the designer of the set-up concluded proceedings.

The exhibition is open to the public from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 6 pm, in Via Lambruschini 4/b – Building BL26/b.

The students of the “Invest in Foreign Markets” Lab among the best in the international “X-Culture” competition

X Culture, the international business-themed challenge, this year saw the participation of 6,188 students from 171 universities and 53 different countries, divided into 1032 mixed teams. As in every edition, students are asked to collaborate remotely for 8 weeks in the realization of a real internationalization project for one of the four Italian companies selected by Alibaba.com that have subscribed to X-Culture.

The 44 students of the “Invest in foreign markets” Lab of the Master’s programme in Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering participated in the competition and were distributed to international teams by working remotely with colleagues from foreign universities. At the end of the competition, 12 students from the Politecnico di Milano distributed in 3 groups won the “Best Team” award, awarded both for the excellent peer-to-peer evaluations they received and for the quality of the final reports they produced, which represent real business plans to support the internationalization of the companies involved.

In addition to this, the Politecnico di Milano also distinguished itself with the “Best Instructor” award, which was awarded to prof.

The Department of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering in a new guise

After 9 months of renovations, the building in via Lambruschini in Milan is now ready to welcome again the community of the School of Management with completely renovated spaces.
The cutting of the ribbon, together with the Department Director prof. Alessandro Perego, was attended by Prof. Donatella Sciuto, Vice Rector and prof. Emilio Faroldi, Deputy Rector of Politecnico di Milano.

 

The new spaces of the Department of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering located in the Bovisa Campus of the Politecnico di Milano were inaugurated a few days ago.

Designed on the basis of innovative usage concepts, the new environments are characterized by better lighting, energy saving systems and a biophilic approach. In particular, they have been designed to stimulate exchange and sharing thanks to a greater availability of common areas with different functions and a highly integrated technological service.

The project aimed at both individual well-being and at favoring the encounter allowing great flexibility of use.

The Department moved to the Bovisa Campus in 2009, when the university made available some new buildings following the renovation of the gasometers area. The historic campus of Piazza Leonardo da Vinci was in fact in need of new spaces due to the increase in the number of students, as well as teaching and administrative staff and the project allowed the relocation of some Departments from Città Studi to the North part of the city.

After more than 10 years in Bovisa, the Department decided to renovate not only due to the increase in the number of researchers, but also to adapt to new working habits that in recent years have become more digital, flexible and collaborative.

The Bovisa area was rebuilt following an international competition launched in 1998 by the Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with local authorities (Municipality of Milan and Regione Lombardia).
And now time has come to complete that project started out of a vision of 30 years ago, with the creation of a university citadel whose construction should start by the end of 2022: forty thousand square meters that will become green, the two gasometers transformed into an innovation center hosting companies and two hundred start-ups, and in a four-storey wellness and sports center open to the whole city.
