Poliedra is the Research Center in Economics and Management for the Environment and the Territory, as an autonomous division of the MIP (Politecnico di Milano Graduate School of Business). In 2000 the Center relocated within the Poliedra Consortium, forming a section. In the mid-2000s, following the closure of the other sections, the consortium assumed its current configuration. Subsequently, relations with the “Polytechnic system” were redefined: in 2012 with a modification of the Statute and in 2013 with the establishment of the Scientific Council.

Poliedra’s mission is the promotion of sustainability and participation in decision-making processes concerning the environment and the territory, the mobility of people and goods and the enhancement of the landscape and cultural heritage, also through innovative solutions and decision-making tools.

POLI.design member of World Design Organization (WDO). The World Design Organization (WDO)™, formerly known as the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid), is an international non-governmental organization that promotes the profession of industrial design and its ability to generate better products, systems, services, and experiences; better business and industry; and ultimately a better environment and society.

QuESTIO, Quality Evaluation in Science and Technology for Innovation Opportunity, is a tool created by the Lombardy Region to promote the innovation ecosystem understood as a set of different subjects active in the field of research and innovation through the mapping of Research and Innovation Centers ( CRTT), Productive Activities and Lombard Technological Clusters (CTL).

QuESTIO was created to offer visibility to registered subjects:

• Survey the competences of the Research and Innovation Centers (CRTT) to identify “who does what” in terms of services offered and describe how each Center works through specific indicators.
• Mapping skills, infrastructures, networks and collaborations of Production Activities active in the field of innovation.
• Promote the exchange of knowledge between innovation centers and production activities, the development of collaborations and networks both within the technical-scientific community and towards the business world, and promotes the innovation services offered by individuals.

The Association promotes education and scientific research initiatives, with a particular focus on Management and Supply Chain Management. It supports cultural, innovative, sustainable, and socially impactful projects, facilitates access for deserving candidates to Master’s and MBA programmes offered by nationally accredited Italian institutions, rewards innovation in teaching, and supports students, professionals and cultural institutions capable of creating sustainable value for their organizations and for society as a whole.

POLI.design provides the V-Ray certification to the students of its Specializing Masters and provides the licensed Education package.
