The Politecnico di Milano and Atos Italia have signed a three-year framework partnership agreement that will foster joint projects in education, technology transfer and applied research in cutting-edge areas in the field of digitalization, such as Digital Twin, High Performance Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Internet of Things.

The collaboration promotes joint training courses, in particular the tailor-made Atos Advanced Academy courses aimed at new hires and company professionals, and the Master of Science in High Performance Computing Engineering, the first in Italy on the subject and in which the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering is also involved.

Scientific and applied research is then at the heart of the agreement: the two partners aim to identify initiatives – national and international, public and private – that combine the academic know-how of the university’s departments with the industrial and managerial know-how of the company.

The agreement will primarily address projects within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan for collaboration on the country's strategic development areas in the fields of innovation and digital transition, with a focus on sustainable mobility.
