Percorsi di Eccellenza

For the 2023/2024 academic year, the new assignees were selected who formally received the letter of conferment of the Paths of Excellence during the ceremony of 1 December 2023 which took place at the Industrial Association of Cremona.

A strong indication of the link established by the University with the region, and therefore with the authorities, institutions and companies present in the Province of Cremona.
The ceremony was opened by Enrico Mainardi, President of Fondazione Next Generation 3C Ets, which believed in the Paths of Excellence initiative by funding two scholarships.
Stefania Patronelli, R&D Project Manager at A2A Spa, handed over the scholarship financed by this important company, which continues its collaboration with the Cremona Campus of Politecnico di Milano with the aim of enhancing territorial capital in the field of energy transition and artificial intelligence.
Prof. Gianni Ferretti, Pro-Rector of the above-mentioned Campus, then introduced Dr. Maura Ruggeri, Councillor for Education and Human Resources, representing the Cremona Association of University Studies (ACSU), which for years has been supporting the education of young university students by financing Paths of Excellence.
Finally, Prof. Filippo Renga, who has been coordinating this initiative from its conception to the present day, illustrated the Paths and the success of previous editions.

To find out more about this initiative, listen to the testimony of those who chose the Cremona Campus before you and have obtained the Paths of Excellence:

See where the young people who completed these Paths in the past years are now working: these graduates have managed to obtain a wealth of knowledge and skills that are highly complementary to their university education (constant commitment, multidisciplinarity, proactivity, sense of responsibility, etc.) which have allowed them to hold prominent positions both in important Italian companies and in significant foreign realities.

The Paths of Excellence are now in their 16th year and have involved dozens of companies, both as funders and as hosts of internships, such as: Gulliver Srl - Ubiquity Srl - Enercom - Oleificio Zucchi - Leaf Italia - Buongiorno Spa - Fondazione Giovanni Arvedi e Luciana Buschini - AemCom - CsaMed - IdeaE - Associazione Industriali - Wonder - Latteria Cremona - Interactive Media - Reply - Cementi Rossi - Microdata - Europool - Reha Zentrum - Smart Life - AppQuality - Antos Srl - CIVIDALE SPA - Consorzio Informatica e Territorio Spa - INFOR SRL - Itinera SRL - Le Caselle S.p.A. - MailUp Spa - REI - Reindustria Innovazione S.Cons.R.L, Linea Group Holding - Gruppo A2A, Fondazione Next Generation 3C Ets.

In the previous 15 editions, a total of 142 summer internships were completed, a goal achieved thanks to the support of 77 companies, in some cases becoming sponsors of the Paths, which shared the objectives and chose to host the assignees in the summer period to start a fruitful collaboration that for some of them continued even after graduation.

The call for the 2023/2024 academic year and the poster of the initiative are still available to find out all the details about the project and how to participate.

The Paths of Excellence are a three-year advanced education programme, concurrent with the Laurea Programme in Computer Engineering or Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering, which have the aim of greatly improving one's skills at the level of:

  • meritocratic approach;
  • multidisciplinarity;
  • corporate behaviour.

To achieve these objectives, various activities are planned, many of which are compulsory:

  • summer jobs at some Italian companies (compulsory);
  • language courses;
  • study abroad activities;
  • In-depth courses on multidisciplinary topics, eg entrepreneurship, blockchain, bioenergy (compulsory).

To be admitted to the call for applications for the 10 available Paths of Excellence, you must meet certain merit requirements, but there are no income constraints.
Five student assignees of the Paths of Excellence will also receive a scholarship worth a total of €5,000, financed by companies and institutions that acknowledge significant value in this initiative.

The continuation of the Paths is linked to the achievement of certain results that will be detailed in the announcement (less than 50% of those entering the first year manage to complete the Path).

The Paths of Excellence can be combined with other scholarships.
