Fondazione Politecnico di Milano

Fondazione Politecnico di Milano was founded in 2003 through a joint effort between the Politecnico di Milano and major city and regional institutions and important corporations to support the university’s research projects and contribute to innovating and developing the economic, productive and administrative environment. Fondazione Politecnico is committed to building a more effective relationship between the university, industry and public administrations.

Digital Learning and Collaboration Area – this strategic unit is aimed at creating new links and opportunities for the development of eLearning and gamification programmes. The ability of this area is to use and integrate different technologies and ICT tools with innovative methodologies to facilitate transfer of knowledge, information sharing, distance e-learning programs and e-collaboration practices. Its staff has a long experience in national and international projects that allowed acquiring strong competences on innovative learning methodologies. Moreover, the team has acquired strong skills in project management methodologies based on e-collaborative approach, that has shown to improve the level of sharing and accountability among partnership.
