The MIND project was born out of the need to strengthen currently existing joint-projects in design in Milan. The aim is to consolidate Milan’s role as a global point of reference for education and research in design, thereby promoting the city as an international “brand for excellence”. The project is backed by the City of Milan and coordinated by Alintec, a specialized centre for technology tran
sfer operated by Assolombarda, the Milan Chamber of Commerce, and Fondazione Politecnico di Milano. With the support of the Triennale Design Museum and the Associazione per il Disegno Industriale (ADI), in 2010 MIND offered more than 110 students the opportunity to attend a Master’s Degree for free at one of the 11 Design Schools participating in the initiative: Domus Academy, Fondazione Accademia della Comunicazione, IED Milano, Accademia di Brera, ISAD, NABA, POLI.design, INDACO - department of Politecnico di Milano, Milano Fashion Institute, L.UN.A., Scuola Politecnica di Design. The initiative includes a series of Lectures organized by the City and the Triennale and by the schools presenting world renowned experts in design (videos of the lectures are available on line)
