The third edition of the Training School "HOMEDEM Co-designing a home with Dementia", held at Campus Bovisa from 13 to 17 May, has come to an end.

The training week focused on the analysis of different approaches to dementia care in Europe and the current dementia policy landscape in the European context.

HOMEDEM is an innovative education and training program for senior and early-stage researchers in the field of design and care for people with dementia.

For the Department of Design, the scientific coordination of the project is led by full professor Daniela Sangiorgi and associate professor Alessandro Biamonti, in collaboration with researcher Silvia Gramegna.

HOMEDEM also involves the Department's research groups Labir_int and POLIMI DESIS LAB.
