From Lab to Factory: Advancing Industrial Innovation with the DADS PhD Program
The industrial landscape is rapidly evolving, and technology is at the heart of this transformation. Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and digital technologies are reshaping the way production and manufacturing operate. At the DADS PhD Program at Politecnico di Milano, students explore cutting-edge solutions that allow machines to perceive their environment, process data, and make intelligent decisions—paving the way for faster, more efficient, and data-driven industrial processes.
The program equips PhD students with the tools to understand complex industrial processes and to develop data-driven models that improve production outcomes. As AI becomes increasingly pervasive, industries will need to rethink how they design, produce, and distribute products. In this scenario, PhD research plays a critical role: students not only generate new knowledge but also learn how to tackle challenges from scratch, translating innovation into tangible industrial impact.
The DADS program also offers unique opportunities for companies to engage with the university. Collaborations with industry partners can take many forms, from joint research projects to funding PhD scholarships, enabling companies to stay at the forefront of technological advances while contributing to the training of highly skilled researchers.
Politecnico di Milano invites companies interested in future industrial technologies to explore partnerships with the DADS PhD Program—together, shaping the next generation of industrial innovation.
