The Research Seminars are the programme's main seminar series. Throughout the academic year, faculty members of the Department and visiting scholars from Italian and international universities present ongoing research in economics, management and statistics. Each talk is followed by an open discussion with faculty and PhD candidates.
Seminars are held at the Department of Economics and, when possible, also streamed online. Attendance counts towards the credits required in each year of the programme.
