La Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto (www.carloalberto.org), founded in 2004 through a joint initiative of the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo and the University of Turin, it promotes frontier research and advanced teaching in economics, law, political science, sociology, and statistics. The Collegio hosts more than 300 scholars and over 150 students each year.
