Turin School of Local Regulation, Torino, Italy

The Summer School covers regulation of local public services, for example waste, water, public transport, district heating and sport facilities.

The source gives no fixed number of places. Because places are limited, not every applicant on the ISS reserve list will be included in the class of 2016.

The programme is open to undergraduate students in their last year, graduate students, and officials from the Public Administration (municipalities, counties, regional bodies) and regulatory agencies.

Participation is free for non-OECD countries and for Countries entering the EU from 2004 onwards. Selected participants from OECD countries and European Countries that entered the Union before 2004 can benefit from very low fees (150 EUR).

The Turin School will provide selected participants with 2-week free accommodation in the University residence in Torino, and all the teaching materials.

Curricula are evaluated on the basis of three main criteria:

• relevance of applicant’s studies and professional experience / current job position to the topics of the Summer School programme
• balanced geographical distribution of selected participants (OECD / non-OECD members; distribution per continent; inclusion of applicants from Countries non represented in the previous editions)
• balanced distribution of educational background (e.g. economics; environmental engineering; law; public administration; …)

Applications are currently closed.

Applications are done online. Deadline is 5 June 2016.
