On 13 May 2026, the Department of Mathematics at Politecnico di Milano hosted the closing event of the METHEXIS 2.0 project, whose acronym stands for MatEmaTicHe, narratives and generative spaces for extremely fragile contexts (MatEmaTicHe, narrazioni e spazi gEnerativi per ContestI eStremamente fragili). The project was funded through the Polisocial Award 2024 with the support of the Italian 5x1000 tax donation scheme. Building on the experience developed at Off Campus San [...]

As the academic year comes to an end, edufin@polimi, the financial education project coordinated by the QFinLab of the Department of Mathematics at Politecnico di Milano, takes stock of its activities and results. During the 2025–2026 school year, the initiative involved 362 secondary school classes (112 lower secondary and 250 upper secondary classes) and 7,207 students, marking a further increase compared to the previous academic year. The educational pathways addressed a wide [...]
