Starting from year one, Regenesi will give increasing opportunities to up-and-coming young designers, both through continuing relationships with Italy's best design colleges and with the international community, progressed through the company's website.
Partnership arrangements are currently in place with the Polytechnic University of Turin and the University of Venice.

In the 2008 - 2009 academic year, as part of the degree course in Industrial Design at the Polytechnic University of Turin, about 160 students will take a course in design techniques which will consider all aspects associated with product lifecycles, from design to disposal, focusing on issues which influence the choice of material and the relationship between the lifespan of the material and the working life of the product. Eco-compatible product distribution methods will also be explored, not just as an operation to be improved solely from the perspective of environmental impact but as a tool for the design of new product categories.

A workshop will also be held, involving all the approximately 400 students from the degree course in Industrial Design (first, second and third years).

The students will work for a full week, in maximum freedom and, in addition to their official tutors, will have access to all the teaching staff of the degree course who, during their normal teaching periods, will offer suggestions, criticism and advice on the students' work.

Subsequently, the results of the workshop will be analysed and revised by the second-year students, who will work with Regenesi for the whole year.
At the end of the academic year, the three most deserving students will be awarded a scholarship, while all the students' projects will be exhibited at a show in the Sala Colonne at Castello del Valentino.

As part of the degree course in Design at the University of Venice, students will work for 60 hours developing product designs in line with Regenesi's philosophy.
