What we do

Our activities of applied research and complex systems design concern our core themes as well as well transversal themes in which we can engage the wide-ranging competences that can be found in the departments of the Politecnico di Milano. Our being strongly rooted in the “Politecnico System”, moreover, makes us particularly attentive to the theme of innovation.

We provide consultancy services to businesses and service companies of various sizes, combining our specific technical competencies with deep knowledge of institutional aspects and policies at the different levels (regional, national, European).

We work as technical consultants for public subjects at national, regional and local levels, and we promote the implementation of methods and tools aiming at a better quality of decision processes and of their implementation, in sectors like sustainable development, mobility, energy, green procurement and circular economy.

We participate in EU-funded projects, developed in partnerships with research centres, public administrations and consultancy firms. We have taken part in more than 40 projects co-financed by Framework Programmes, Intelligent Energy Europe, Horizon, Erasmus+, LIFE, UIA, Climate KIC, Interreg. At present, we are partners in 5 projects and we work as technical assistance in a further project.
