IULM for the City 2025

University - 20 December 2024

In the 2024-2025 academic year, IULM for the City courses are open to everyone. Sign up here to attend the classes!

The "IULM for the City" initiative, offering free lessons open to all, returns in February 2025 with a new series of courses. These courses, taught by renowned professors, will cover key topics in the field of communication.

A new addition to the IULM for the City educational offer, the course "Artificial Intelligence: New Technology or a New Era for Humanity?" (second semester) is taught by  Guido Di Fraia, Riccardo Manzotti and Luisa Damiano, alongside some of the most prominent names in Italian AI research. This program provides an in-depth analysis of Artificial Intelligence and its transformative impact on society.

With the expertise of Guido Di Fraia (A Critical Perspective on AI, Characteristics of Generative AI), Luisa Damiano (Ethics and Social Robots), and Riccardo Manzotti (AI and Consciousness, AI and Human Creativity), the course delves into the fundamental principles and theories of AI, highlighting its revolutionary potential for society and traditional business models.

The program is further enriched by the contributions of distinguished scholars such as Michela Milano (The History and Characteristics of AI), Gianluigi Greco (AI Applications for Complexity), Alessandra Sciutti (Artificial Cognition and Collaborative Robots), Don Luca Peyron (Hope and AI), and Pietro Scarpino (Technological Innovation and the Future).

The course will explore AI’s effects on work, freedom, democracy, ethics, and knowledge, with a special focus on the challenges of automation and Big Data. Additionally, it will address the risks of "surveillance democracy" and the evolution of generative AI, such as ChatGPT.

Gianni Canova, in the course "History of Italian Cinema," will stimulate critical reflection on the aesthetic, linguistic, production and communicational models that have influenced Italian mass culture, through the analysis of some masterpieces of Italian cinema. The course is open to all citizens and students of undergraduate courses.

Angelo Panebianco, in the course "Theory of International Relations," will offer a comprehensive view of the main orientations and theories of past and present international relations. The course is open to all citizens and students in second-level study courses.

Roberto Vecchioni and Stefania Mancuso will teach the course "The Contemporaneity of the Ancient," which will explore how antiquity influences the creation of contemporary imagery through archaeology, literature, poetry and music. The course is open to all citizens and students in undergraduate courses.

Manager and entrepreneur Pierfrancesco Barletta will teach the course "Sports Communication," examining sports from the perspective of communication and marketing. The course will be open to all citizens and students in first-level studies courses.

Nicoletta Polla-Mattiot will teach a course entitled "Ecology of Silence," aimed at investigating silence as a profound form of communication. In an increasingly loud and logorrhoeic world, where speech often becomes an expression of a self-referential and self-centered ego, the concept of silence as art, as an "act of recognition of the other" and as a "pause that gives life to speech," appears revolutionary. This is the theme covered in the course by journalist and essayist Polla-Mattiot, whose book Rediscovering Silence. Art, Music, Poetry, Nature between Listening and Communication has been chosen as one of the tracks of the type B "argumentative text" for the first written test of the 2024 Maturity exam. The course is open to all citizens and students of first level studies

TV director and artistic director Davide Rampello will hold the course "Arts and Crafts of the Territories," during which he will present the heritage of cultural goods in all its richness and diversity, in terms of both arts and crafts (farmers, cheesemakers, carpenters etc.) and ecosystems (mountains, plains, cities, sea, fresh water). Through the analysis, study and narration of these realities, the relationship and role of the artisan in a specific territory and the protection of the latter will be understood. The course is open to all citizens and students of undergraduate courses.
