Partner description
The Politecnico di Torino was founded in 1859. A long history, which bore out the University as a reference point for education and research in Italy and in Europe, a Research University of international level which attracts students from more than 100 countries and which activates about 800 collaborations per year with industries, public institutions and local organizations. The attention to theoretical and applied research, the knowledge and development of cutting edge technologies, the concreteness and realism concerning the management of a manufacturing process, the care of functionality, the analysis and proposition of solutions to the challenges of the society of today in order to plan a sustainable future are developed at Politecnico. The University hosts over 35000 students and employs around 2000. Involved in the project is the Department of Applied Science and technology.
