TOIndia Summer School on Globalization and Development in India
“It is Europe’s first India summer school and it looks for the foreseeable future to be the best.”
Prof. Barbara Harriss-White, Professor of Development Studies, University of Oxford
In response to the growing interest in contemporary India’s economy, society and politics, a one-week Summer School on Globalization and Development in India was launched in Torino in 2010.
This year a second edition of the Summer School will run from Monday July 4th to Friday July 8th. The working language will be English and the programme is suitable for students and professionals with different disciplinary backgrounds.
The School aims to provide in-depth knowledge and critical comprehension of key economic, social and political aspects of India’s development dynamics in the era of globalization, through a multidisciplinary approach.
Any student or professional willing to explore the complex facets of the development process in globalizing India will be welcome.
The programme is available online, with details being added weekly. Applications will be accepted as from March 15th. To apply, please use the links to the left.
Several scholarships are available, covering anything from tuition fees to accommodation and meals. Please do check whether you may be eligible for either a Zerotasse or a Freetorino scholarship.

The insightful analysis provided by the programme will be of great usefulness both for those alumni whishing to pursue research work on India at an academic level, and for those working or wishing to work within the international development arena.
Information on international scholarships, academic opportunities and jobs will be circulated to the alumni through a TOAsia mailing list.
