2. First steps Set up by the Politecnico di Milano in 2003, the Fondazione pursues objectives and conducts activities that are instrumental and functional to the Politecnico's mission. Today, after 7 years of growth in terms of organisation, relations and projects implemented with a great many partners, public and private, the Fondazione plays a significant role in the innovation of enterprise and of the public sector and in turning academic skills and research to the service of economic development.

3. The Politecnico di Milano Right from the beginning of the industrialisation of Lombardy and Italy, and through the years of post-war rebuilding and industrial development, the Politecnico di Milano has played a fundamental - even unique - role in the birth, consolidation and renewal of a huge number of companies. Since 1863 – the year of its foundation – it has given strength to the economy and to public administration with innovative research, technological transfer and training of new and highly qualified generations. This is the deeper meaning of the mission that the Politecnico di Milano has carried out since its origins and which, today, it is strengthening through the Fondazione. Its objectives are to as far as possible widen the network of players with which to create possibilities, opportunities and initiatives that can help common projects get off the ground, to offer everyone the opportunity to contribute to the development of the 'Italy system' through a direct relationship with the Politecnico di Milano.

15. Experience in the Tempus Programme

16. Experience in Tempus Programme • Over the last 4 years the Fondazione Politecnico di Milano took part or coordinated the 8 proposals (3 funded) in the following domains: • Entrepreneurial University and Education (4 proposals) • Green technology and sustainable development (2 proposals) • Architecture and Urban Planning (1 proposal) • ICT and Certification of competences (1 proposal) • In 2008 the following project was funded: • “Entrepreneurial University as a model for proper managerial interrelation among education, science and innovation development” • In 2012 the following projects were approved: • SEHUD, “Architecture and Sustainable Urban Development Based on Eco-Humanistic Principles & Advanced Technologies without loosing Identity” • GIEP, “Green Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program”

17. TEMPUS – ENTREPRENEURIAL UNIVERSITY Entrepreneurial University as a model for proper managerial interrelation among education, science and innovation development • Capability to innovate and to bring innovation successfully to market will be a crucial determinant of the global competitiveness of nations over the coming decade • There is growing awareness among policymakers that innovative activity is the main driver of economic progress and well- being as well as a potential factor in meeting global challenges in domains such as environment and health • Innovation also relies heavily on the creation of basic knowledge through both education and science where well-performing education system facilitates the adoption and diffusion of innovation • The term “Entrepreneurial University” is not new and a survey of literature that couples the concept of entrepreneurship with universities will reveal that this connection denotes a variety of activities that take place within the ambit of higher education

18. TEMPUS – ENTREPRENEURIAL UNIVERSITY • To develop “Entrepreneurial University” capabilities the partner universities should: • analyze universities’ stakeholders needs in innovation and entrepreneurial activities and also opportunities and available resources • create (modernize existing) education capabilities that fit the universities’ stakeholders needs in entrepreneurship and innovation • integrate European experience and partners analysis into development of university incubation model • integrate European experience and partners analysis into development of unified “Entrepreneurship University” model that converge local (in country) and international cooperation in university knowledge transfer and innovations development • modernize universities’ innovation infrastructure and management according to jointly developed “Entrepreneurship University” model

21. TEMPUS – SEHUD project SEHUD - Architecture and Sustainable Urban Development Based on Eco-Humanistic Principles & Advanced Technologies without loosing Identity • Relevance of city development under condition of social & economic transformations within processes od integration & globalization is a matter of common knowledge. Modern cities need solving problems of human-environment interaction, eco & social issues; engineering infrastructure destruction; negative after-effect of large-scale housing construction, losing architectural heritage together with identity. Sustainable city development integrating economic, ecological & social issues is an actual task for modern society • At the same time in Ukranian architecture & construction the urban development principles were formed under conditions of strict planning that had its strength & weaknesses. A need for new principles of city development as an open system is relevant to modern dynamic world. Ukranian architectural education needs modern multidisciplinary & market relevant study programs in urban development based on eco-humanistic principles & technological achievements without losing city identity • All the needs are reflected in the project objectives: • Creating curricula in urban development (UD) based on eco-humanistic principles & advanced technologies form MSc, PhD, LLL • Amplifying training capacity of PC universities by creating advanced infra-structure & integrating e-learning • Developing interactive network of universities, enterprises, municipal & public organisations dealing with urban development
