Participants
The school is targeted to graduate students, doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers in economics and related disciplines. Students are expected to attend the school full time. 

Fees and Scholarships    
Participants will be charged 600€ covering registration, accommodation (double rooms), meals and background material. A limited number of fee waivers can be assigned to students from Developing Countries.

The summer school is envisaged to take place physically in Tuscany. However, due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 and travel restrictions, the final decision on the summer school format will be taken closer to the date.

Applications and deadlines
The participants will be selected by the Selection Committee on the basis of the information included in the application forms. Depending on the programme, there might be a few slots for students' presentations, and priority will be given to those going on the Job Market this fall. 

Applications can be downloaded from: https://dagliano.unimi.it/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Application_20th_ss.docx and should be submitted to [email protected]

Location
The school will take place at Castello di Gargonza, a medieval village and historic residence in the world-famous Tuscany countryside. The 13th century fortified hamlet is surrounded by more than 600 hectares of forest, olive groves and vineyards and overlooks the Val di Chiana. It is the perfect place for summer schools and conferences, as all the facilities are offered in the same place.

Gargonza is also the ideal destination to discover Tuscany. It is located 100 km south-east of Florence between the beautiful cities of Siena and Arezzo. Local information will be provided to participants in due course.
