ITFD => Harvard

Congratulations to Edoardo Campanella (ITFD 2009/10), who just won admission to the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. After the year in Barcelona, Edoardo went off to work, first for the WTO in Geneva, then as an economic advisor for the Italian Senate after graduating with a Master's degree from ITFD. He has also been a prolific commentator and writer on economic issues.  The MPA he is now going for is one of the most competitive and prestigious postgraduate programs in the world, designed for people who want to work in the highest levels of public administration. For example, the German government sends a handful of the best graduates from the German National Honors Foundation to this program through the McCloy program every year. 

Youth unemployment

Many of our graduates are actively hunting for work now. Some already found good jobs, others are interns at interesting places (congrats to Paulina Tourn, who is currently with the WTO). Now, Edoardo Campanella (ITFD 08-09) has written an article highlighting the problem of youth unemployment in Europe. It's for project syndicate, which feeds content to over 140 newspapers worldwide. Luckily, Edoardo isn't talking from personal experience. He is currently an economic advisor to the Italian Senate, and was formerly an economist at the World Trade Organization.
