Polisocial Award

On Tuesday 5 November 2024, the evaluation committee finally selected seven research projects, admitting them to the Polisocial Award 2024 funding. The winning projects are: ART-Link, BIOLOOP FACTORY, ECHOES-Nosedo, IN BIBLIO con CHIARA, METHEXIS 2.0, PROXIMO, SOSpesa+.

The 2024 contest - The 2024 edition is dedicated to “Proximity and Innovation” and is designed in close relationship with the OFF CAMPUS University project, with the aim of activating innovation-through-proximity processes in the city of Milan. The latter refer to social change dynamics that are rooted in a local dimension, in which a primary role is given to co-research and co-design paths through the construction of long-lasting alliances between the University, local actors and other stakeholders. The competition is addressed to projects that are able to meet needs/demands emerging from the Off Campus contexts, as well as to implement and consolidate effective interventions. The projects will start on January 9, 2025.

The Polisocial Award contest supports scientific research with a high social impact at the Politecnico di Milano and is financed with “5×1000 IRPEF” funds.
