We are pleased to announce that the selection procedure for the Eight Viterbo GAL Seminar has now concluded. We received 24 highly impressive applications for a maximum of 13 places.
The proposals were carefully evaluated by the Gal Seminar Steering Committee (Stefano Battini, Lorenzo Casini, Edoardo Chiti, Mario Savino and Giulio Vesperini) on the basis of three criteria: 1) the relevance of the proposal for the topic of the Seminar; 2) the satisfactoriness of the work-plan and methodology; and 3) the potential for generating a provocative contribution to the Seminar.
On this basis, the panel selected the following papers to be discussed during the Seminar:
