The I.S.E.O. Institute is pleased to announce that the “Franco Modigliani – Robert Solow – I.S.E.O. Temporary Chair in Economic Sciences” has been established at the University of Brescia: on the 14th December 2023, the Academic Senate of the University approved the temporary chair entitled after the I.S.E.O. Institute, its founder Franco Modigliani and past president Robert Solow, who died at the end of 2023. A long lasting dream of the I.S.E.O. Institute finally coming true.
The temporary chair provides “the annual assignment of the qualification of Franco Modigliani – Robert Solow – I.S.E.O. Professor to an economist awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, or to an economist of international renown” states the resolution of the Academic Senate.
Thanks to the precious and long lasting partnership between the I.S.E.O. Institute and the University of Brescia, every year the faculty of Economics of the University of Brescia will feature – even if for a short time – a Nobel Prize for Economics as visiting professor (something never happened before in the University of Brescia): his lectures will be addressed to students enrolled in the master’s degree and PhD.
“We are really proud – explains Riccardo Venchiarutti, who became president of the I.S.E.O. Institute after the death of Robert Solow – to be able to offer students from Brescia the once in a life time opportunity to attend lectures held by Nobel Prize winners for Economics: and we are even happier knowing that the newly established chair bears the name of our founder Franco Modigliani and our president Robert Solow, two world wide important economists but, even more, two extraordinary men to whom the world owes a lot”.
The chair will be already activated in 2024, in June: the first Nobel Prize selected by the two bodies is ROBERT ENGLE, Nobel Laureate in Economics 2003. His course is titled “Climate Finance”.
