Courses and labs
Courses and labs
The first three days of the school will focus on theoretical and practical classes covering the following topics: economic complexity measurement, network theory, machine learning, measurement of relatedness. Theoretical lectures will be followed by coding labs, where participants will apply the methodologies introduced in class to carry on assigned group projects.
PRESENTATIONS
PRESENTATIONS
In the last two days of the school, many world-wide renowned scholars have been invited to present their frontier research, linking economic complexity with economic development, economic geography, labour economics, sustainability, economics of science, and innovation policy. At the end of the school, students will also get a chance to present their group projects, and to get feedback on them.

The Historical Museum of Physics and Enrico Fermi Study and Research Center (CREF) is located in the same building where Enrico Fermi and a group of young physicists conducted the first experiments on neutron-induced radioactivity, fundamental for the future development of nuclear energy.
The Historical Museum of Physics and Enrico Fermi Study and Research Center (CREF) is located in the same building where Enrico Fermi and a group of young physicists conducted the first experiments on neutron-induced radioactivity, fundamental for the future development of nuclear energy.
Following the inspirational lead of Enrico Fermi, CREF aims to develop original and high-impact research lines based on physical methods with a strong interdisciplinary character. Here physicists collaborate on a daily basis with specialists in various fields: artificial intelligence, biology, medicine, social sciences, and economics.
CREF also hosts a modern Historical Museum of Physics dedicated to Fermi’s scientific legacy, to offer wide dissemination and communication of his life and his discoveries.
