UNVEIL Final Conference:
On January 16, 2026, the UNVEIL final project meeting took place at the Department of Political Science at the University of Perugia, the head unit of the Consortium.
The meeting unfolded into two sessions.
The first one was devoted to an interactive workshop, which gathered around 30 participants among municipal representatives (mayors, deputy mayors, and civil servants) and National Statistical Institute (ISTAT) experts, coordinated by the UNVEIL research team.
The second session focused on the presentation of the research outputs of the UNVEIL project, along with an insightful discussion with academic experts.
