Alfredo FERRANTE’s Summary

After several scolarships awarded from Italian and foreign universities and institutes, I have been working in the Italian Government since 2002 as a head of unit (dirigente), after passing the public competition held by the Italian National Insitute for Public Administration (SSPA).
The themes I am interested in are public policies concerning CSR-Corporate Social Responsibility, governance and welfare (including policies for persons with disabilities), non-profit sector and reform of public sector. At the same time, I have published some articles and I am often involved in conferences and courses on those subjects, bringing in the point of view from public sector.

I love to operate in a network and to create and manage sinergies between different actors coming from public, private and non profit sector.
