Consortium of Politecnico di Milano

We are a consortium of Politecnico di Milano, which is evaluated in all international rankings as a university of excellence.

The other members (besides Politecnico, which holds the majority) are Cefriel, MIP and POLIdesign, all consortia in which Politecnico is strongly present.

9 of the 12 Departments of the Politecnico participate in our Scientific Committee, and we also have a regular interaction with Fondazione Politecnico.

Our history

In 1992 the Research Center for Environmental and Territorial Economics and Management was established as an autonomous articulation of MIP (Politecnico di Milano Graduate School of Business). In 2000 the Center was relocated in Poliedra, constituting a section of the consortium. In the mid-2000s, following the closure of the other sections, the consortium assumed the current configuration.

Our mission

Our priority is the promotion of sustainability and of participation in decision processes regarding environmental and territorial issues, passenger and freight mobility and the enhancement of landscape and cultural heritage, also by means of innovative solutions and decision aiding tools.

Our vision

Our vision is for smart and sustainable cities and territories, in which coalesce technology and social innovation, device use and enhancement of communities, decision processes and participation.

Testimonials

Ferruccio Resta
Rector of Politecnico di Milano

“Poliedra offers an increasing expertise on the sustainability themes, where there is a need to combine skills, which are not only technological, but also related to people’s behavior, enhancing the ability to develop significant local, national, international relations”

Antonio Nicola Negri
Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico - RSE S.p.A.
Directorate General Staff

“I appreciated the skills and professionalism of Poliedra’s staff in the field of environmental assessments and of support to stakeholder participation in a EU project which I coordinated, focused on the “thorny” theme of acceptability of grid infrastructures. Results of quality, but also a great spirit of collaboration and availability, characterize the work of the consortium”

Tony Patt
Professor of Climate Policy
ETH Zürich, Department of Environmental Systems Science

“My research group and I collaborated with the researchers from Poliedra in an EU project, and it was a great experience. I really loved the creativity and energy that our Italian colleagues brought to the tasks, and it showed in the success of our work”
