Dottori di ricerca provenienti da diversi paesi europei si confronteranno sui temi dello sviluppo locale, grazie anche all’intervento di esperti provenienti da Atenei italiani e stranieri.

Il tema sarà analizzato nei suoi aspetti più generali (cambiamenti strutturali, dinamiche di settore, etc.) e attraverso l’approfondimento di "casi" specifici, dal modello di sviluppo legato alla produzione del vino piemontese alle realtà economiche locali della Costa Rica o della Romania.

L’iniziativa rientra nelle attività del Dottorato Europeo in Economia della Produzione e dello Sviluppo di cui è direttore il professor Gioacchino Garofoli. 

Tutti gli incontri si svolgono presso la sede di Via Ravasi 2 e sono aperti al pubblico.
