The Think Tank is conceived as an opportunity for an intense and stimulating informal meeting between international academic experts and experts in the tertiary sector and/or policy makers in order to discuss and deepen innovative research lines for the prevention of bullying and cyberbullying and the promotion of well-being.
Starting from lectures held by keynotes from the world of research, paired with experts from Services and Institutions, during the Think Tank there will be group works, in which both the risk factors and the protective factors will be discussed and deepened,  as well as best practices, in order to outline new strategies for investigation, intervention and sharing of policies.
The Think Tank represents an opportunity to promote innovation in basic and applied research through interdisciplinary research and interinstitutional collaboration, both locally and internationally. It is also an opportunity for networking between scholars who in Italy and abroad deal with research on bullying / cyberbullying and factors promoting well-being, and between those who are senior in the sector and those who are at the beginning of their academic career. In this regard, within the Think Tank, PhD students will have the opportunity to present their research project, receive feedback from seniors and compete for a prize for the most innovative research work.
The language of the TT is English.
