Course Description:

Technology always plays a key role in the great challenges that are currently facing humanity. Talking about digital,
energy, mobility, climate, health or humanity in general, technology is mostly at the core. However, nowadays
challenges cannot be reduced to a mere technical data, either analysing or designing possible solutions. To
comprehend and face them successfully, all forms of knowledge are essential, from the techno-scientific field to the
human, social and artistic ones. The “Big Challenges” courses are an opportunity to examine with interdisciplinary lens a
number of relevant topics concerning humanity, focusing on technology and its key role on human living. In this
framework, all the courses will address the UN Sustainable Development Goals, a global initiative aimed at renewing
local and international policy.
