The Aerotech Academy in Grottaglie, which already hosts the Joint Lab with Syensqo (formerly Solvay) — dedicated to thermoplastic composites — and the Leonardo MaTeRIA Lab (Materials Technology Research and InnovAtion Lab), will be part of the Leonardo Labs network , the company's technological innovation laboratories.
There will be two main areas of study, “Aerostructures Core Technologies and Beyond” and “Automation, Industry 4.0 and Digital”. Approximately 75% of the class hours will focus on materials science and structural design and analysis in the aeronautical and space sector; the remaining 25% will be dedicated to the themes of digital transformation with a particular focus on artificial intelligence applied to manufacturing.
The program, based on cutting-edge teaching methodologies, includes classroom training, on-the-job experience and seminars from the Leonardo industrial world. The Aerotech Academy will accept a maximum of 20 graduate students for a 3-year or master's degree course.
The call for applications for admission to the 2024/2025 academic year of the new Aerotech Academy Puglia has been published on the Polytechnic of Bari website. More information on the call and how to apply is available on the dedicated page .
