Angelini Academy and Luiss present the new Chair in Strategic Innovation

The new Angelini Academy Chair in Strategic Innovation at Luiss, unveiled on 9 November at the Viale Romania Campus, aims to develop skills and tools that will help promote innovation, seize the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence, and manage complexity through new training models.

Under the leadership of Professor Patrick Reinmoeller, the Chair will explore the relationship between strategic innovation, the creation and sharing of knowledge, and learning in the era of artificial intelligence. At the heart of the research programme is an investigation into how technological transformations alter the processes through which people and organisations develop their skills, navigate uncertainty, and make decisions. To support the programme of research, training, and knowledge-sharing on strategic innovation, Angelini Academy will invest €1.5 million over ten years.

The presentation took place during Patrick Reinmoeller’s keynote lecture, “Educating for Complexity: Learning, Innovating, and Making Decisions in the Age of AI”, followed by a discussion that included contributions from Paolo Boccardelli, Rector of Luiss; Maria Chiara Carrozza, Professor of Bioengineering and Biorobotics at the University of Milano-Bicocca and President of the BIND Foundation; and Sergio Marullo di Condojanni, CEO of Angelini Industries.

Through scientific research, engagement with organisations, and the development of innovative approaches to training, the Chair aims to contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms that foster the acquisition of skills and drive innovation in complex contexts. The aim is to generate knowledge and tools that will be useful for academic debate and for designing new educational and management models.”
