ASP – Alta Scuola Politecnica

ASP projects

Students participate to multidisciplinary projects, focusing on real and relevant problems, proposed as a collaboration between universities and external institutions (i.e., firms, governmental or research institutions).

Project teams consist of 6/7 students from different schools and are therefore intrinsically multidisciplinary. Each project team is assisted by tutors with a multifaceted background, selected among the Faculty of Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino as well as among experts of the proposing external institutions. Tutors advice students and periodically review their intermediate results.

Teams are provided with funds that allow them to make study trips, attend conferences, buy books and materials to help develop the project. The project plan and budget is defined by the team and agreed with the tutors.

Projects are focused on four “problem-based learning” tracks:

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.

Academic research

These projects are based on creating and furthering knowledge for companies, public and private institutions for structuring and solving complex problems.

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.

For more information, please write an email to projects@asp-poli.it.

The results of the projects from the 1st to the 15th ASP cycle are reunited and published in books that can be downloaded here.
