The PhD P-GOMAP offers PhD students the opportunity to participate in or organize various training and in-depth study sessions.
These workshops give the opportunity to PhD candidates to take the lead. In groups of at least two and a maximum of four, they can propose and present research that has yielded significant findings. To ensure engaging discussions, the research topics within each workshop should be related. Following their presentations, they will host a debate enriched by insights from academics and executives from institutions and companies, aiming for an in-depth exploration of the chosen theme. Workshops will typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours (but may be longer), depending on the number of presentations.
P-GOMAP Crossroad is stimulated by the faculty who propose specific themes according to the following structure:
Preface: As international dynamics are fastly changing and instability seems to loom large, the International Community, Governments, IOs/NGOs and Institutions at different levels are struggling to cope, finding original ways out of complex situations or relying on past narrations and events as a compass. At times, unexpected levels of coordination are reached, abating hard-to-dye beliefs and convictions. At other times, though, an inward-looking approach is adopted to trencher against threats, risks and any other challenge perceived or felt as dangerous for the own survival.
Aim: Against this backdrop, this cycle of seminars is intended to promote a dialogue among different disciplines, to debate and discuss topics which will be diriment today and in the next future from the vantage point of different perspectives.
Format: Roundtable with a moderator
Panelists: 2-3 possibly for different departments, at least from different disciplines
Duration: 1h 30 (debate included)
How many per year: 3 or 4
Proposed topics: migration, AI, food security, China, energy, climate change, economic nationalism, adaptive public administration and risk management (others may be added).
'A Bordered World? A Reflection on Contemporary Global Dynamics'
Held by:
- Michela Ceccorulli (SPS Department)
- Flavio Delbono (DSE Department)
- Livia Elisa Ortensi (STAT Department)
The aim of this Seminar has been to kick-start a series of multi-disciplinary discussions on relevant topics for the PhD and to answer a specific and rightful on identifying connecting threads among the Departments and research lines.
As a first in this series, the event focused on a much-needed consideration of current global dynamics and their impact on crucial topics in research and, more broadly, in scholarly disciplines.
The event has been moderated by Tommaso Roccabianca.
