Background, orientation and purpose
The Centre for International Studies on Economics Growth was established in 1987. Its aim is to
provide a centre of research which deals with economic activity and experience, with emphasis on the
importance of international economic variables. Within the framework of Italian university autonomy
and its own statutory aims, the Centre promotes and coordinates both scientific and educational
activities according to interdisciplinary criteria. It organises seminars and conferences and sets up
agreements with universities, national institutions and international organisations. It can also operate
in a consultant capacity when required.
Research projects are developed both by the Centre’s own members and by external scholars. All the
activities of the Centre are organised around Observatories and Research Sections. Each year a topic
of particular significance is selected for debate at the Villa Mondragone International Economic
Seminar. The Centre also organises Master courses for post-graduate specialisation.
