Spotlight: Promoting Young Scholars - Isabella Gourevich

January 17, 2023

She almost went over to the Dark Side. For years, she was sure that she wanted to study Business Administration. But luckily, before taking that fateful step, she attended a lecture to introduce Economics to prospective students. The discussion about monetary systems and global value chains mesmerized her.

Spotlight: Francesco Trentini - A Pillar of Society

October 17, 2022

Francesco Trentini didn’t home in onto economics right away. His interest in the study of society led him to enroll in 2008 for a bachelor in Economics and Social Sciences at Milan’s Bocconi University, where he initially went for sociology and demography. His first thesis was on norms in cohabitation patterns in Europe.

Spotlight: Promoting Young Scholars - Ekaterina Prytkova

June 22, 2022

When economists don’t talk to technology specialists, or vice-versa, the results can range from commercially disappointing to downright disastrous.

Spotlight: Promoting Young Scholars - Giulio Vannelli

May 04, 2022

Since he decided to go into Economics, Giulio Vannelli always had globalisation in his mind, in particular its core element, global value chains. That’s what he devoted his PhD thesis to, at the University of Trento last year, examining “Economic development in a globalised world: the role of Global Value Chains”. The Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, honoured him with a PhD scholarship to this end.
