The agreement aims to transform the Autodrome into an open-air laboratory for testing new technological solutions, involving students, researchers, and professors from PoliMi in applied research projects and training activities: it will particularly concern the study of materials and infrastructures for circuits and sports facilities, their architectural and landscape-environmental impact, the development of high-performance asphalts and safety systems, the testing of automotive technologies, the creation of advanced simulation models for design, infrastructure management, and also, on the safety side, the management of crowd flows.
The collaboration will be coordinated by Prof. Emilio Faroldi, Deputy Rector of PoliMi, who proudly comments on the agreement: “The Autodrome represents a complex and highly valuable infrastructure, both memorial and functional, capable of representing the ideal context to develop applied research and experimentation activities. This collaboration will allow our University to work on materials, safety, and management of sports infrastructures, bringing our design and research efforts to face real conditions characterized by high complexity, reaffirming the strong identity of the place“.

“Since its origins, Monza has been much more than a circuit: a gym and a laboratory of innovation“, added the President of Autodromo Nazionale Monza Giuseppe Redaelli. “Here solutions were born that later spread on a large scale, from the use of full-face helmets to guardrails, to tolling technologies. The collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano strengthens this vocation, projecting us towards new challenges in research and applied experimentation. We want to continue to be a reference point for technological development, linking training, innovation, and concrete application. This agreement enhances our history and consolidates the pioneering role of the Autodrome in the field of infrastructures and the management of major events“.
