I am a consultant of EU policies and programmes (both direct- Structural Funds- and indirect- Community Programme of the European Commission). I usually work with local Public Authorities and vocational training institutions. I am also a project evaluator about the Programma Leonardo Da Vinci_ Life Long Learning - Erasmus Plus Programme. I also worked to support SMEs in participating to Export programme, events and other initiatives to access of funding for internationalization. As far as my academic background, I am graduated in Political Sciences (International Department) with a thesis in EU law. I spent one year in Belgium at the College of Europe where I got a Master degree in European Human Resources Development and Social Studies. I also got several vocational courses because I strongly believe in life long learning.My additional training focused on Internationalization of SMEs, management, marketing, communication, International Standards (as HOSAS 18001 ISO). I spent several time to study abroad (in France and in Belgium) thanks to study grants (Erasmus and Italian Foreign Ministry). The working experience matured by EU project management contributed to develop a strong team spirit in transnational environment and a good ability to adapt to multicultural environments.
