Vision: VISION Politecnico di Torino is an academic community committed to generating and sharing “polytechnical knowledge” for effective and sustainable development of society at global, national and international level. Being an academic community implies: Valorising our people, who all commit themselves to working individually and collectively in a rigorous way; fostering the development of diverse and constant interactions among them. Encouraging a growing openness towards the interaction with other communities and organizations: Italian and foreign universities and research centres, the alumni community, firms from any industry sector and size, spin-offs and start-ups, public and private institutions, as well as the various components of the civil society. Putting the generation and sharing of “polytechnical knowledge” at the heart of our policies implies: Working in the complex cultural scenario which is nurtured by scientific, engineering, architecture, planning and design disciplines, blending them together and with human and social sciences with a design perspective. Promoting an effective and virtuous development at political, economic, social and environmental level. Putting the generation and sharing of “polytechnical knowledge” at the heart of our policies also implies: Assuring and improving the effectiveness of the processes that enable the three University missions. Adapting these processes to the current rapid pace of change.

Subordinate organizations:
The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.
