The 89 Initiative is a think-do tank founded in 2015 at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

89 Initiative runs 7 research programmes (Migration, Climate, Innovation, Regions, Civic Education, Democracy, Regions) led by academics and experts in London, Maastricht, Aberdeen, Athens, Bruges.

The 89 Initiative proposes to the SSST students in Turin to work together with well-known academics to conduct a piece of policy research leading to a 5,000-8,000-word policy report with recommendations to the Italian Government/the EU.

TARGET: III year or higher SSST students 

The participation in one of the research programmes entails:

  • To learn about conducting policy analysis.
  • To learn how to write policy proposals.
  • To publish your work and see it disseminated in various events.
  • To participate and organise conferences about a wide range of topics in European affairs, and to expand your network.
  • To take advantage of the new social media for policy professionals 89 Connect and other projects of the Initiative.
  • To present your findings in a conference at the end of April 2022 either in London or in Belgium, together with all the other research programmes of the 89 Initiative (depending on the epidemiological situation).

This experience would also encourage the development of a variety of soft and hard skills useful for the job market.

The Research programmes you can participate into, for the academic year 2021-2022 are:

  1. Re-thinking graduate labour market entries after the pandemic: What role for Italian and EU institutions?, led by Dr. Corrado Macchiarelli and Dr. Angelo Martelli, London School of Economics.
