Education

Interaction with the world of technical education
One of MagnoLab’s truly outstanding and innovative qualities is the ability to establish connections and partnerships with educational institutes in the field of textiles and fashion, in Italy and abroad. MagnoLab acts as a link between the worlds of education and enterprise, promoting interaction and implementation of concrete projects. MagnoLab is a unique place combining teaching with research and development in a system as complex as the textiles industry itself, in which students can play an active role in the research projects under way and form connections with the market.

The institution has already established this kind of link with ITS TAM (Istituto Tecnologico Superiore Tessile Abbigliamento Moda, a vocational institute for studies in the area of textiles, clothing and fashion), allowing students to learn in specially equipped laboratories in the factory and then develop and concretely test their ideas and solutions on the machines in the pilot plant.
