What are the Observatory activities?

It looks at positive experiences, experimentations, new paradigms and innovative policies that are able to generate value, reduce inequalities and boost social progress. The Observatory is not only committed to enhancing the voices of young researchers and practitioners with diverse scientific-disciplinary backgrounds and geographic origins working on issues and projects related to economic and social innovation, sharing economies and macroeconomic policies, but also to offering them the opportunity to participate in training and professional development programs, thus creating a community of experts and enthusiasts in the field.

The objectives

  • To explore new trajectories and possibilities for economic and social development that can address the multiple unsustainabilities of the contemporary development model;
  • To promote experimentations, new paradigms and innovative policies that are attentive to the production and return of value in territorial communities, that try to recover those living on the margins and promote social progress, to close the lacerating inequalities that increasingly determine unsustainable living conditions:
  • Enhance the voices of young researchers and professionals with diverse scientific-disciplinary backgrounds and geographical origins, working on issues and projects related to economic and social innovation, sharing economies and macroeconomic policies;
  • Offer training and professional development programs to create a community of experts and enthusiasts in the field.
