The Project
The European Central Bank established the Tommaso-Padoa Schioppa Visiting Professorship in 2011 in memory of one of Bocconi's most distinguished Alumni, among the founding fathers of the Euro and a member of the ECB Executive Board from 1998 to 2005.
The Visiting Professorship was inaugurated at Bocconi during the opening ceremony of the 2012-2013 academic year, in the presence of Mario Draghi, former President of the European Central Bank.
The Professorship aims to bring an international scholar to Bocconi every year to conduct research and teaching activities related to the topics of European economics and monetary policy.
