After a year and a half of research, Territori comes to life: a project born from the joint work between the Department of Design of @polimi and the Aimo e Nadia Milano Group. A path that brings together gastronomy, academic research, and the Italian production system. More information: dipartimentodesign.polimi.it/en/magazine/te…

Open Day 2026: aperti i cancelli del Politecnico di Milano per una giornata alla scoperta di corsi e servizi offerti. Benvenute e benvenuti! #PolimiOpenday #PolimiEducation

The 24 fellows of the sixth edition of the European Talent Academy (ETA) met at Imperial College London; ETA is a joint training and networking programme for young researchers, now in its sixth year, organised by @TU_Muenchen, @imperialcollege, and @polimi.

In 1934, a group of students founded the Gliding Center at @polimi. Within a few years, they designed eight gliders, built the university’s first wind tunnel, and took part in international competitions. Cesare Cardani, the historical memory of the @daer_polimi, recounts its origins, development, and legacy within the university.
