Presentation by Concetta Giusto on 11th November at sfs

Giusto is a visiting doctoral student in the Department of Political Science at the University of Pisa and will be conducting research at the sfs from September 2025 to March 2026.

Her doctoral thesis focuses on social innovation in education.

The subsequent discussion provided an opportunity for professional exchange and reflection on the further development of the project.
