The GeMM, located at the Politecnico di Torino's headquarters in Corso Duca degli Abruzzi, within the spaces of the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering -DIATI, was inaugurated in June last year and is the first example of a permanent exhibition space within the University, and one of the major historical university collections open to visitors in Turin.
GeMM and Mapei share a clear vision: to promote the importance of research as an instrument of knowledge to face the challenges of the present. Making the Museum's documentary, historical and scientific heritage accessible to the public provides a living historical testimony to the value of discovery as a driving force for society. Mapei is committed to this goal, supporting numerous cultural realities and actively promoting research through collaborations with the scientific community and the academic world. Taking part in study, knowledge and research in the field of mineralogy is fundamental for Mapei whichnot only uses mineral-based raw materials in its formulations but also contributes to underground infrastructure projects (tunnelling & mining) through its dedicated business unit, Mapei UTT.
This is only a part of the collections held at the Politecnico, which span over 170 years of scientific and technological history since the foundation of the Scuola d'Applicazione per gli Ingegneri (Technical School for Engineers) in 1859, from which the university originated.
As well as offering the chance to explore the invaluable collections, a visit to the museum provides insight into some of the contemporary challenges of scientific and technological research in the field of raw material extraction and recovery, including critical raw materials which are essential for the energy and ecological transition.
