EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

Keeping the university at the forefront of experimental research is a real challenge.
In the year 2000 the university began a programme involving the creation of a network of High Quality Experimental Laboratories (LAQ) financed by internal investments amounting to around 26 Million Euros over 7 years, as well as external sponsorship. Examination of projects for approval is given by guarantors external to the Politecnico, based on an international referee system.
This programme was designed to breathe new life into the culture of polytechnic experimentation, working in synergy with European and national programmes. Another aim was that of improving university facilities for theoretical and impartial applied research. This means that doctorate students and young research scientists can learn how to go about doing their research in laboratories which are state of the art facilities.
