THE EVENT & OUR MISSION
We are glad to invite you to our Summer School, to take place in Pisa, at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies headquarters! The Summer School will be focused on the connections and contamination between entrepreneurship, arts and innovation.
The Pisa event will be the fourth Winter/Summer/Spring School of our project, after the exciting experiences we had in Vienna (held digitally due to the pandemic), Miskolc (Hungary) and Paris.
Our goal will be to bring students to the center of beautiful Tuscany, in one of the most famous Italian cities, renowned for its architectural and landscape wonders, visited every year by millions of people.
Every day we will try to convey to our students the passion for beauty, but also the skills necessary to transform something beautiful and precious into something useful, productive and that can be desired by consumers and foster entrepreneurial ideas and activities.
In this way, the art and beauties of Pisa will be functional to the mission of our project.
