Sommario
On Friday, January 30th, 2026, from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm, we are excited to invite you to the LEONARDO Innovation and Research Event (LIRE), previously known as NECST Research Line Fair Event, which will take place at the Conference Room of the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), Politecnico di Milano.NECSTLab is a research lab where academic teaching and scientific research intersect on a daily basis—both through ongoing activities and a variety of academic and industrial events held throughout the year. Outside of this context, teaching and research are often seen as separate domains, difficult to align in a productive and virtuous cycle. NECSTLab, however, firmly believes that research can greatly benefit from education, and vice versa.
Engaging students in research activities from the early years of their university journey fosters creativity and enriches the brainstorming and ideation phases within research groups. From an educational perspective, involving students in real-world research and development projects means exposing them to concrete design and implementation challenges, promoting a form of learning that is both experiential and transformative—guided by experts through a maieutic approach.
In such a setting, it becomes essential to provide students and researchers with a dynamic environment where they can work together and tackle meaningful challenges. The LEONARDO Innovation and Research Event (LIRE) fully embodies this philosophy. It offers students the opportunity to present their research activities and results to an audience of academic institutions, industry partners, and alumni, fostering open discussion and meaningful exchange.
LIRE is designed to challenge LEONARDO participants to present their work to an engaged and curious audience, turning each presentation into a real dialogue. The ultimate goal is to strengthen research collaborations and create new opportunities for students’ future careers.
The presentations, led by participants in the innovative teaching and research program LEONARDO, will be organized into several sessions, each aligned with one of the lab's core research areas:
- System Architecture: HW Acceleration and Quantum Computing
- System and Software Design
- Information Technologies for Life Science and Smart Health
- CSI@PoliMi: Creativity, Science and Innovation
