Economics of Sustainability
The first edition of the International Week in Rome is organized from February 9th, 2026 to February 13th, 2026.
We will have 24 foreign visiting professors coming from 15 different universities teaching a short course on the topic of "Economics of Sustainability".
Students will be organized in four different groups each group will have 3 courses of 8 hours to attend.
The final evaluation will be based on a multiple choice test (30 multiple choices in 45 minutes) and a group assignment. The weight assigned to each exam section is 50% and the pass grade is 18. Students who will not attend the final event in Villa Mondradone will not earn the ECTS related to the event.
The course can be recognized as an extra-activity of 3 ECTS but the minimum frequency requirement is 90% of attendance.
The event is organized jointly with the Erasmus+ office and Global Engagement and Mobility area of Tor Vergata University of Rome.
