Eventi

Either independently or in collaboration with other institutes, Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini promotes and organises seminars, conferences and debates, consolidating practices aimed at encouraging activities open to a plurality of inputs and users.

Sometimes targeting a wider audience, sometimes addressing experts, seminars and conferences regularly come in succession in order to both allow the dissemination of ideas developed and results attained in study and research activities, and to discuss, together with experts from different backgrounds and orientation, issues of interest and importance.

Public events have been organised to present the main publications of Fondazione Brodolini.

Besides seminars more closely related to the development of research, aimed at updating and verifying its results, other seminars, attended by managers and officials of trade unions, private companies and the Ministry of Labour, have been held to foster the exchange of experiences and the in-depth analysis of some of the most innovative and controversial aspects in the labour market field.
