How? What?

Italian Academy is the “Academic Panel” of Istituto Piepoli and is made up of University Teachers and Students of major Italian universities. It represents a meeting point between the present and the future.
Over the years, Istituto Piepoli and its researchers have collaborated with countless specialists in the academic world in order to apply the latest research methods. This collaboration was the embryo of what eventually became the
ITALIAN ACADEMY Panel.
Today our ITALIAN ACADEMY boasts more than 500 Teachers, Professors, Directors and university students.
Some of them were found through the Merton Method (*), meaning through a survey among university students that indicated the most charismatic and well-prepared teachers in different fields: Economy, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, Literature, Philosophy, Law.
The Panel can be contacted both through Cawi interviews (by sending a link to the person interviewed opening the interview) and other web-based applications (focus group online and forum) All members have agreed to adhere to this process, and Panel and field are managed by a central system.
