1. SPO Internship @ UVER 5-11 November 2007 Carlo Amati

2. Internship project The internship will take place at UVER, under the supervision of Carlo Amati, and will be centred on the development of a project work. The topic of the project work is a comparison of monitoring systems for public investments at national level in Italy and in Turkey, where “monitoring system” assumes its widest meaning. The aim of the project is to identify potential opportunities of future collaborations between the two countries. Among the components of the monitoring system, specific focus will be given to the activities carried out at UVER: Data collection and integration Data analysis (Management questions and support to operational decisions) Data interpretation (Perspective vision and support to policy decisions) Project verification (checks/controls, effectiveness evaluation)
