Quadrifoglio Programme

The Quadrifoglio Programme realised jointly by the Fondazione Aldini Valeriani, Istituti Aldini Valeriani, the Museum of Industrial Heritage and the Association Friends of the Museum of Industrial Heritage is a curriculum of excellence aimed at valorising the local technical-industrial heritage through activities across the entire educational system from school to university:


>  For middle school students: expert guidance and a competition on technical-scientific culture;
>  For high school students: a competition on industrial culture and the “Business at School” project, a laboratory which others additional content with respect to the traditional programme;
>  For university students: the new three-year degree course in Innovative Physical Technologies at the University of Ferrara and in collaboration with local industry.

Furthermore, the International Forum on Project Development, an event which brings together local companies and major international research centres is also linked to the Quadrifoglio Programme.

The Quadrifoglio Programme enjoys the patronage of Prime Minister’s Office, the Emilia Romagna Region, and the Province and Municipality of Bologna, and is supported by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna, the Fondazione del Monte and the National Institute for Foreign Trade.
