Where
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.
Social dinner
Aldente, Via Delle Orfane 19/G, Turin
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 |

Battuta di fassone;
Flan di verdure con fonduta |

| Second course |

Turin city tour and Aperitivo
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.
FAQ
Only PhD Students can apply?
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.
If I have not a full paper yet, can I apply anyway?
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 :)
Can I attend the Workshop without presenting?
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!
Which is the difference between long and short
presentations?
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.
Will you publish the final papers we have to send you?
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.
What is included in the €50 fee?
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).
If I have a question who can I ask to?
Feel free to write to
phd_workshop@carloalberto.org
We will answer you asap.
