IDEA League

Last weekend, our second Module of the IDEA League Challenge Programme happened in Aachen. Led by RWTH Aachen UniversityTH, the module offered discussions with case owners, networking, leisure activities, groupwork, and professional support on topics of design urban mobility systems to move people and goods sustainably.
Good job everyone!!

The IDEA League Challenge Programme kicked off in Lecco this weekend with our joint Politecnico di Milano × TU Delft module diving deep into politics, power, and decision-making.
From teamwork sessions to conversations and lectures, it’s been four days of insight, collaboration, and innovation!

Also a month ago, we hosted the "Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Applications" summer school, this time at TU Delft, in Delft.

Here are a few words from our organiser that perfectly sum it up: "This year’s summer school was a celebration of curiosity, collaboration, and connection.
I left the week feeling inspired, a little tired, and very grateful."

What an inspiring week in Piacenza!

From the 21rst to the 25th of July, participants of the "Empowering Decision-Aiding: Evaluation Approaches to Complexity" Summer school, spent the week diving into real-world decision challenges exploring tools and methods to evaluate complex systems, from urban resilience to climate adaptation. Through hands-on case studies, co-design sessions, and multidisciplinary collaboration, participants sharpened their ability to think critically and act decisively in uncertain environments.

A full week of deep focus, cross-disciplinary learning, and practical problem-solving guided by experts in decision science and systems thinking.
As the tutors put it: “An opportunity to explore structured ways of navigating complexity and making informed decisions in uncertain contexts.”
