Born as a joint venture between Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi) and Politecnico di Torino (PoliTo), the Alta Scuola Politecnica is an advanced programme for Engineers, Architects and Designers, which runs in parallel with the Laurea Magistrale courses of PoliTo and PoliMi. The educational programme of ASP consists of two elements: broad-based Courses and Multidisciplinary Projects, focused on real-world problems and proposed by PoliMi and PoliTo professors in collaboration with companies, public administrations and research institutions. 

Since the multidisciplinary approach is a key feature for developing and enhancing the innovation attitudes, UNIFI established a collaboration with the ASP to involve its students in the learning experience proposed by the School, Accordingly, UNIFI selects 4 students to attend the Winter School of ASP, which will take place in the third week of March. The course of the Winter School is focused on the dynamics of innovations and its objective is introducing students to the concept of innovation from an academic, cultural, and practical perspective. More specifically, the participants will attend lectures focused on the innovation theories and models and perform teamworking activities on multidisciplinary innovation projects interacting with their colleague of PoliMI and PoliTo and with the tutors of the course. At the end of the course the participants will write a paper which summarizes the performed activities and discusses the learning experience.
