A strategic partnership
To be protagonists of the University’s policies
The Joint Research Platform (JRP) is a medium/long-term strategic partnership between a company and the Politecnico on shared research, innovation and development issues with the aim of: developing advanced and complex researches with a high experimental and innovative content; consolidating enduring relationships for investments in long-term research and innovation; investing in the growth of the human resources of the future, backing up doctoral researches and young researchers; creating joint observatories on technological evolutions; sharing research instruments, laboratories and infrastructures to foster cooperation between Politecnico and company researchers; enabling the company to access the University’s multi-disciplinary skills; facilitating joint participation in calls for EU and/or national funding.
This partnership is actualised through the conclusion of a multi-year scientific collaboration coordinated by a joint management committee relying on the support of a dedicated service.
