What is
Scientific research, informal yet rigorous dissemination, pluralism of ideas, and independence from political and economic pressures: these are the key ingredients of the International Festival of Economics.
Following the success of the first four editions, which respectively focused on New Generations of the World (2025), Who Owns Knowledge (2024), Rethinking Globalization (2023), and Merit, Diversity and Social Justice (2022), the Festival will return to some of the most beautiful venues in the historic center of the Piedmontese capital from October 22 to 25, 2026. It will host some of the world’s leading economists and experts working at the frontier of this topic, along with researchers who study it across many other disciplines.
The International Festival of Economics is curated by Editori Laterza, Collegio Carlo Alberto (CCA) – Torino Local Committee (TOLC) under the scientific direction of Tito Boeri. The event is promoted by the TOLC, which brings together the Regione Piemonte, the City of Turin, Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, Fondazione CRT, the University of Turin, the Polytechnic University of Turin, the Turin Chamber of Commerce, Unioncamere Piemonte, Unione Industriali Torino, and Legacoop, coordinated by the Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto.
