Accepting complexity and combining “competing” viewpoints, “wicked” problems. Multiple partnerships favour constant creation of new viewpoints.
A long term investments on a new model of teaching closer to students’ talent and inclination with a strong focus on the development of personal attitudes within four “problem-based learning” tracks:
Academic research
These projects are based on creating and furthering knowledge for companies, public and private institutions for structuring and solving complex problems.
Industry & Innovation
These projects are based on investigating innovation opportunities in a variety of industries. As an example, they can try to identify the benefits at company level of the new technologies available in the market.
Entrepreneurship
& Hi-tech start-ups
These projects are based on investigating entrepreneurial opportunities with a particular focus on hi-tech start-ups. These projects try to analyse the scenario of high-tech start-ups and evaluate their impacts at different levels.
Social impact & Engagement
These projects have the aim of understanding potential positive changes that an organization can implement to address a pressing social issue and favouring people engagement for social and community development.
Courses on issues, models and methods of innovation, tackled with a strong interdisciplinary perspective.
The ASP educational programme consists of 30 additional credits (CFU) to be achieved in parallel to the regular 120 credits of the Laurea Magistrale programme. An ASP student achieves, at the end of her/his two years, a total amount of 150 CFU.
Projects in the spotlight
Every year a number of our projects get selected in entrepreneurship competitions, and our students are invited to present their results at museums, exhibitions and important international events.
