Professor Enrico Giovannini will deliver a seminar on the measurement of wellbeing at local level.
Professor Giovannini is an Italian economist, statistician and internationally recognised expert in the field of wellbeing and a member of the “Stiglitz Commission”. For his work on the measurement of societal wellbeing, he was awarded the Gold Medal of the President of the Republic of Italy and is a member of the Club of Rome. Professor Giovannini was a prime mover behind The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s “Better Life Initiative” and then moved on to create the same set of initiatives in The Italian National Institute of Statistics.
This seminar will be based on a project initiated by Professor Giovannini at the Italian National Institute of Statistics which aims to collect wellbeing data at local and regional as well as national level, enabling the understanding of wellbeing in cities and regions as well as nationally.
Everyone is invited to attend and take part in this informal discussion. Places are free but if you would like to attend please email amandamoir@aberdeencity.gov.uk
This session is part of the University of Aberdeen and the Scottish Universities Insight Institute Pathways to Wellbeing project which brings together academic research, wellbeing practitioners and the public. You can find out more about the project at www.abdn.ac.uk/engage/wellbeing
