School of Liberalism

A series of lectures on the liberal thought

Einaudi Research Centre– Via Michele Ponza 4/E


CEST, in collaboration with Neos and the sponsorship of the Einaudi Foundation in Rome and the “Luigi Einaudi” Research Centre in Turin, is organising the Turin edition of the School of Liberalism 2016. The School of Liberalism offers a series of lessons on the themes of liberalism at the crossroads of various perspectives: law, economics and philosophy.

The School boasts a long tradition throughout the country (more than 100 editions) and, for ten years locally, is also active at Turin. This edition, in particular, proposes to rethink the School specifically for university students, giving a strong academic connotation to emphasize the educational content of the meetings.

All the meetings will take place at the Einaudi Research Centre (via Ponza 4E) from 5.00 pm to 7.00 pm. For information and to sign up: [email protected].
