ScoDeM is a new Master of Science for graduates in scientific and engineering topics, as well as for graduates in humanities and social sciences, interested in new technologies and their impact.
The Smart Community Design and Management Master of Science is organised by the Department of Information engineering and science, within the framework of the national project “Smart Cities, Smart Communities and Social Innovation".
The course is designed to train Smart Community Experts, capable to design and manage online user communities (individuals or collective) working on socially sensitive projects. They will have different backgrounds (from computer science to humanities and social sciences) sharing a multidisciplinary approach to the use of new technologies and their interest in the local territory and the relations with the involved people and institutions.
Antonella De Angeli, the Master’s Director and Professor of Human-Machine Interface at the Department of Information Engineering and Science underlines the innovative content of the Master. “We will train experts with technological, planning and relational skills, thus capable to manage and consolidate the online and physical communities, at local and cross-border level. The Smart Community Designer is increasingly employable because the labour market is more and more interested in social innovation and the in the involvement of the community by companies, public authorities and non-profit organisations. An example of a concrete project: a health programme for elderly people, with tele-management, to enhance their life quality, providing a fast service, easy to access. The Master is targeted to graduates both in scientific topics and in humanities/social sciences, interested in using new computer technologies to implement projects which concretely impact on the community and on the people.
