The workshop will take place in the Collegio Carlo Alberto building in Piazza Arbarello, 8 Turin, that formerly hosted the School of Economics of the University of Turin.
The Collegio Carlo Alberto is a foundation created in 2004 at the joint initiative of the Compagnia di San Paolo and the University of Torino. Its mission is to foster research and education in the social sciences, in accordance with the values and practices of the international academic community.
We will be happy if you would like to join us on Wednesday 8 evening for the social dinner.
The dinner will take place at the Aldente restaurant , in the city center of Turin, in the heart of the Quatrilatero. The restaurant aims to go back to the roots of the piedmontese traditional kitchen, not only through the food it proposes, but also by the convivial and friendly atmosphere that breathes in its rooms.
The menu will let you have a taste of a wide variety of Piedmontese traditional meals and a selection of local wine. A vegetarian menu will be provided. Other variations in the menu for personal needs can be provided. Food allergies and intollerances will be managed by the staff of the restaurant. We will ask you about these things in the registration form.
Starter | Vitello tonnato con salsa piemontese tradizionale; Battuta di fassone; Flan di verdure con fonduta | Cold, sliced veal covered with a creamy, mayonnaise-like sauce that has been flavored with tuna; Knife-grinded row meat; Vegetarian flan with fondue |
---|---|---|
First course | Risotto con funghi e salsiccia; Agnolotti piemontesi di magro burro e salvia | Risotto (rice) with mushroom and sausage; Agnolotti (typical ravioli) with butter and sage |
Second course | Brasato di bovino alla Barbera d'Alba con contorno | Braised meat, sitting in the Barbera d'Alba (piedmontese wine) and side dish. |
Dessert | Bonet | Bonet (Pudding-like ancient piedmontese dessert made of eggs, sugar, milk, cacao, rum and almond paste) |
For those who would like to stay in Turin also Thursday 9 night it will be possible to have a brief sight-seeing tour of the city (Piazza Castello and the Royal Palace, Piazza San Carlo and, maybe, the Mole Antonelliana).
We will also have an aperitivo (with some appetizers) around 6.30pm at Vinolento (Via Corte d'Appello, 13). That activity is not part of the Workshop and so it is not covered by the fee.
No, PhD Students are the main target of the Workshop, but also 1st-year Post-docs (only in long sessions) and last-year Master Students (only in short presentations) are welcome.
Each participant has to present something, because the spirit of the event is to create a community that shares ideas and research questions. But the full paper will be asked only a couple of weeks before the Workshop. And if this is not enought, we have a solution for you! Why do not apply for a short presentation? You will have the opportuntity to briefly present a structured research idea and have useful comments and advises by a senior discussant. A great opportunity to get off to a good start :)
We are sorry, but you can not. Each participant is supposed to present something. You can decide to apply either for a long, or for a short presentation. In the latter case you will have the opportuntity to briefly present a structured research idea and have useful comments and suggestions by a senior discussant. Moreover, we are open to discuss possible alternatives to paper presentations that can be of interest for the other participants. The aim of the event is to create a community that shares ideas and research questions: so, dare to share!
In a long presentation you will have 20 min to explain your paper, followd by 10 min of discussion. In a short one you will have 10min to speak, and at the end of the session the 2-3 short presentations will be discussed together for 10 min. In both cases a senior researcher will lead the discussion, based on the reading of your draft paper.
No, the final papers will be shared only with the senior discussant that is in charge of your session, and it is useful only to her to give you a proper feedback.
The fee includes the access to the Collegio Carlo Alberto infrastructures, coffee breaks, lunches, and the social dinner. The fee does NOT include the accommodation facilities, the traveling and transportation costs, and any other social activity that is not the social dinner. But, some accommodation facilities will be provided (read above).
