BEMACS, starting in academic year 2016-2017, is an international program aimed at students interested in analyzing the dynamics driving innovation. In particular, it focuses on those dynamics related to the digital economy and social media. Taught entirely in English, BEMACS will be reserved to a small cohort of selected students (the first class group will be made up of 80 people) and combines economics, management and law classes with computer science, programming, machine learning and big data.
