The Dean will continue to advance the strategic plan defined at the time of his initial appointment, addressing the new and complex challenges facing Italy and the European Union: global competition, sustainability and value-driven principles, the use of artificial intelligence for societal well-being, governance issues in both corporate and public sectors, and the race for growth and innovation.

“The challenge of combining ‘value and values’ will become even more ambitious, along with the School’s objectives. SDA Bocconi must balance its role in serving the country with its European and international dimension, increase its impact, and strengthen its position as an educational, but more importantly, intellectual, reference point,” says Dean Caselli.

The role of Research Labs will thus be crucial in creating a strong and continuous link between the major questions posed by the economic and social systems, financial resources, and research activities that support the impact of educational programs.
