Department of Economics and Management
The Department of Economics and Management was born in 2012 from the union of the Departments of the Faculty of Economics, which over the years have been able to integrate their scientific and teaching skills, developing innovative projects in the various fields of economics. The Department's Bachelor's and Master's degree programs provide a solid preparation aimed at understanding economic, business and financial systems. Teaching activities range from business disciplines to economics, law, quantitative and social-historical disciplines. Research activities reflect its multidisciplinary nature, with more than seventy researchers active in their areas of expertise. Over time, a growing proportion of them have accumulated significant research experience in international settings, assumed leadership roles in national and European scientific societies, and coordinated research projects of national and international significance. Scientific production has in many cases found its way into the most prestigious journals and publishers for the relevant disciplines, and is regularly presented at major conferences and workshops in the field. The Department hosts meetings of scientific societies and has a significant calendar of seminars with international speakers, also organized in collaboration with important research centers.
