This May, PRIF is pleased to host four VORTEX doctoral candidates, who are taking a moment to reflect on their work and share early findings, while being in the midst of intensive research.

In this edition, we’re excited to share that many new blog posts have been published in the past three months, offering fresh insights into our ongoing research and current issues. We also reintroduce our VORTEX doctoral researchers, provide updates on their projects, and report on our recent meeting in Turin.
