International competitions

Politecnico di Milano offers many opportunities to live the educational experience in the field. In the various international competitions in which we participate, students can apply the knowledge acquired during their studies on concrete projects and develop at the same time soft skills fundamental in the working life.

Sustainable Moth Challenge

Teams are asked to design and build, in the laboratory, efficient and sustainable sailing boats equipped with foils, i.e., appendages that allow the boat to be lifted out of the water, thus minimising friction. In the final phase of the competition, the teams shall compete in a regatta.
