The project was launched thanks to the presence in Turin of important organisations of the UN System and of the European Union devoted to training, research and technical assistance.

Indeed, the Turin International Summer School aims to provide participants with specific knowledge on emerging global challenges from a United Nations and European Union perspective.

The Turin International Summer School is organised by

• the European Training Foundation (ETF)
• the International Training Center of the ILO (ITCILO)
• the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI),
• the Faculty of Law of the University of Torino
  
• the University Institute of European Studies (IUSE)

and with the financial support of the Compagnia di San Paolo.

The joint efforts of these institutions confirm the Turin’s role in international sharing knowledge and training.

Focused on Migration - Challenges and Opportunities for Europe, the Summer School is organised in cooperation with the International and European Forum of Migration Research (FIERI) and under the auspices of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the International Institute of Humanitarian Law.
