We feel very honored to have been offered the pleasure to host two internationally prominent scholars:
Professor Sheila Foster – Vice Dean and Albert A. Walsh Professor of Real Estate, Land use and Property law at Fordham University School of Law, Visiting Professor at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, co-director of the Stein Center for Law and Ethics,
Professor Giacinto Della Cananea – Full professor of Administrative Law at University of Rome Tor Vergata and member of the Presidential Council of the Italian Supreme Audit Institution.
Once upon a time, under the Fordist regime of capital accumulation, there was no space for considering collective action as a means for reflecting on the urban commons.
However the economic crisis and the post modern socio-cultural upheaval have drawn the contours for a new urban outline, in the sense of refreshing the understanding of collective action and its nexus with the neighbourhood.
The perception here is that of a transformative evolution of the capacity of the citizens to serve and cultivate urban life.
Truly it is not surprising that cities are not viewed anymore as storage loci for the depletion of common resources, albeit we cannot simply consider the realm of Commons as a ready to go policy.
In effect the fairy tail of the urban commons faltered on the slippery terrain of the regulatory framework.
On the other hand, the congestion and the rivalry upon the use and exploitation of resources leave no room for development and growth, at least if the current structural paradigm is not questioned.
Europe and America are currently experiencing the nightmare of resources degradation, thus our challenge is to find and implement solutions for the governance of the Commons, in such a way that all the community should eventually play a positive sum game.
The workshop, moderated by Professor Christian Iaione, aims at opening a discussion with the audience for understanding and debating the Urban Commons, with a specific focus on the Inter-Atlantic dialogue and on the Bologna Regulation on Public Collaboration. The English version has been edited by 2013/2014 Labgov interns and it is now the official version adopted by the City of Bologna.
LUISS and LabGov are pleased to welcome you on October 31st on the Viale Romania 32 Campus, Toti Classroom, from 16.00 to 19.00

#fondatisullacultura is a convention promoted by Roma Capitale and “Commissione Cultura, Politiche Giovanili e Lavoro in collaboration with #fondatisullacultura.
The panel will be held in Rome at MACRO and will host four thematic sessions on culture.
The introductory panel will be lead by On. Michela Di Biase, President of The Commission “Cultura, Politiche Giovanili e Lavoro di Roma Capitale“, which will introduce the debate with highly qualified professionals.
Following, the experts will give us the opportunity to understand the dynamics of the cultural enterprises and their aggregate value, both in the sense of economic production and socio-cultural output; it will be crucial to comprehend which are the products and recipients of the economy of culture, as well as addressing the key issue of resources’ management.
There is a recurrent necessity to confront principles and norms with the challenges of the new cultural demands, but on top of all, it is vital to analyze the possible strategies and the existing administrative instruments (and loopholes) that serve to coordinate and produce public policies.
LabGov will be as always on the frontline, represented by its Coordinator and Professor Christian Iaione.
Public participation is welcomed.
FREE ENTRANCE, Via Nizza 138 h.9:30-18:00

Luiss Guido Carli, LabGov and LabSus are pleased to launch the activities for the academic year 2014-2015 at the presence of renewed experts, academic specialists and brilliant professionals of the Commons.
The Director General of Luiss Guido Carli Dott. Lo Storto Giovanni will introduce the panel and lead the introductory presentation, followed by the intervention of Professor Morlino L., Prof. Arena G., Dott.ssa Gardoni M.L., Dr. Verri P. and Prof. Iaione C.
As fellows of the leading wave of the Commons, we are very pleased to open the Lab and to present the activities of the new project cycle, as well as welcoming all our special guests and contributors.
The input for the creation of LabGov was given by the founding fathers in 2012, as a means for managing the emerging expectation of corporations and public institutions, which are more and more concerned about the issue of resources’ shortages and governance methods to fill the gap among social needs and scarce management of supplies and assets.
The Lab, which was born as collaboration between LabSus and LUISS, managed to fulfill great expectations and to deliver concrete results: indeed, through a dynamic and non-conventional educational scheme (clinic house) it was possible to mold the character and build relevant skills for a new category of professionals of the governance of the commons.
Stay Tuned !

Smart city exihibition 2014
The capacity of building the territory, in the sense of grafting all the vital elements for the plantation of social values and economic perspectives in the pillars of the society, is directly linked to the technology of the commons.
Indeed, developing a strategy and delivering territorial results in terms of community building is part of a qualitative output that a smart-community is able to draft.
The multiple solutions offered by the digital communication and networking is the basis of such rethinking because, together with a participative use of digital innovations, a territory can define a new and more efficient mode of governance.
On the basis of an extended network of PA, many experts and contributors will define a futuristic vision for the design of the new society, with a particular focus on the quality of citizens’life.
Bologna Fiere and ForumPA will host the “Smart city exhibition” on 22-23-24th of October.
Among the participants and speakers, the Director of LabSus Prof. Iaione C. will take the floor.
The Program will be updated daily

The European Union is not just a topic for the academia, neither it is a symbolic affiliation for those who can acknowledge its existence.
Rather, without the threat of banality, the EU is a guarantee of power.
Becoming an expert in EPM (European project manager) means developing competences, principles and techniques for managing the host of opportunities and resources currently provided by the EU.
The Master in EPM and Project management launched by CTS and Università degli studi di Roma Tor Vergata is a great opportunity for learning how to operate within the multi-sectoral context of the European funds and projects.
The academic approach will be based on frontal lessons and theory, but on top of all it will be using the EuroLab tool for a practical experimentation of knowledge and techniques.
Finally there will be the possibility to attend a session based on “fundraising”.
The program will start by 16th October 2014.
