Coordination of TOLC (Torino Local Commitee)

La Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto (www.carloalberto.org), costituita nel 2004 su iniziativa congiunta della Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo e dell’Università di Torino, promuove la ricerca di frontiera e la didattica avanzata in economia, giurisprudenza, scienze politiche, sociologia e statistica. Il Collegio ospita ogni anno più di 300 studiosi e oltre 150 studenti.

La partecipazione al FIE rappresenta una naturale espansione delle attività di outreach del Collegio, che mette a disposizione del comitato promotore TOLC le sue competenze nella divulgazione scientifica su temi di policy e di interesse collettivo legati alle scienze sociali.
