About

The Covid-19 pandemic is the most recent shock that has affected our societies, and there are still significant uncertainties remaining for 2021. Decision-making is the single most effective factor in conditioning a successful recovery and building resilience for the crises to come.
In this 5th edition, the Summer School led by the University of Rome Tor Vergata offers a pragmatic framework and shares tactical tools used by governments and businesses. The framework reflects both national laws and the International Standard Organization guidelines and consists of: Life Safety, Business Continuity, and Economic Recovery.
