A conference on the metrics of quality of life took place today at Palazzo Prodi. The invited speakers talked about the impact of local public policies and of the quality of indicators, but also about how families and mothers in Trentino are coping with the pandemic
The University is participating in the Family Festival, that is currently taking place in Trento, with an in-depth study of the methods for measuring public policies.
