The city of Brescia is an important production and economic centre, strongly connected to the Milan system. In particular, the arts, communication and performing arts sectors are historically well established and there are important national and international organisations operating in the Brescia area, which are among the partners of DAMS laboratories, workshops and/or internships.
On the other hand, the DAMS programme takes advantage of the more limited size of the Brescia site, which makes it possible to keep the ratio between the number of lecturers and the number of students very low, and to guarantee the high usability of all contextual services.
