During lockdown, Polimi immediately implemented a deep internal reorganisation to cope with the new situation. This led to all teaching moving online, enabling students to continue to be able to follow lessons, sit their exams and graduate thanks to smart working. Plus, through its laboratories and skills, Polimi actively contributed to the fight against Covid-19 by producing individual protection devices and sanitizing liquid.

Politecnico di MilanoNow that lockdown has been eased, it is time for students to return to the campuses in a safe and controlled fashion, this will allow them to get the full Polimi experience and become part of the community. To make sure students feel safe in their new academic environment, classrooms have been set up to provide social distance, although for those international students having trouble getting to Milan online classes will also be available. More than 300 classrooms have been renovated with technological and digital equipment, so they are fully prepared for the use of the new platform for online learning. This will allow simultaneous and flexible management of the classroom in presence and at a distance. The platform is user friendly and allows up to 1,000 participants.
