Ambrogino d'Oro awarded to Off Campus

An important recognition for the work of the project promoted by PoliSocial


The project of the Politecnico di Milano “OFF CAMPUS” will be among the recipients of the Ambrogino d'Oro 2022, the civic honour awarded each year by the Municipality of Milan on 7 December, St. Ambrose's Day.

OFF CAMPUS | Il Cantiere per le Periferie is an initiative promoted by Polisocial, the social engagement and responsibility programme of the Politecnico di Milano, with the aim of strengthening the presence of Politecnico in the city of Milan. The first Off Campus space was opened in the San Siro neighbourhood in April 2019, followed by new spaces in the Nolo district (September 2020) and in the San Vittore detention centre (October 2022). A fourth Off Campus space will soon settle at Cascina Nosedo, a former farmhouse.

In the Off Campus spaces, teachers, researchers and students of the Politecnico can develop innovative teaching ideas, responsible research and co-design activities capable of generating a positive impact on the community. The underlying concept is that of a more engaged University, targeting social challenges and closer to neighbourhoods and communities.
