Programme

Once more the consolidated structure of the four pillars has been renewed by the Executive Commission.

“Environment” (prof Bachiorri), “Food” (prof Bottari), “Economics” (prof Mancini) and “Law” (prof Pineschi). This year much work has been done to enhance even further the interdisciplinarity of the School.

Starting with the 6th of June, the warm-up material was made available to the participants in order to enable everybody, regardless of their background, to gain from the experience.  Among the material there were recorded lessons, videos, readings etc...

A substantial part was dedicated to the "Case Study Competition" reserved for students, which saw the creation of 6 teams and periodic meetings with the organiser and coordinator Professor Domenico Dentoni (University of Montpellier, France).

From the 20th of June the recorded lessons were uploaded as well and in the week from June 27 to July 1 lessons were presented in live streaming on the Teams Platform with a final part dedicated to a Q&A.
