YSI @ Turin International Festival of Economics

“Merit, diversity and social justice”

INET and YSI will be participating in the first Turin International Festival of Economics hosted from 31 May – 4 June 2022. We will dedicate the mornings to a variety of YSI sessions at the International University College of Turin. We will, of course, have ample time to enjoy the Festival, which this year runs under the theme: “Merit, diversity and social justice”. The festival sessions will take place all over the center of Turin.
