16 03 2026
An international opportunity for doctoral students: the SILK Summer School (Sustainability, Innovation, Legacy, Knowledge), taking place in Como, Italy, from June 3rd to June 11th, 2026.
The program uses the Lake Como silk district as a “living laboratory” to explore the intersection of industrial heritage, luxury production, and sustainable innovation. It is particularly relevant for students in Design, Sustainability, Heritage Studies, and Business.
Key Highlights:
- Design Thinking Lab: A hands-on workshop (CreActionality method) solving real-world territorial challenges.
- Field Experience: Exclusive site visits to regenerated industrial hubs and world-class textile producers.
- Sustainability & Legacy: Deep dives into circular economy narratives and post-industrial transitions.
We would be grateful if you could circulate this opportunity among your graduate students and colleagues.
