Professor in Demography, Bocconi University
Arnstein Aassve, PhD in Economics, is a Professor at Bocconi University, boasting an extensive background in academic and institutional leadership. With a history of receiving two ERC projects, he currently spearheads the Horizon Europe project, FutuRes: Towards a Resilient Future of Europe. This initiative focuses on three key domains: education, employment, and health, aiming to craft policies that enhance the resilience of both citizens and institutions. The project has established a policy lab, acting as a crucial link between scientific research and policymakers. Aassve has collaborated with Eurofound, the EU Cabinet of the Vice President of Demography and Democracy, Dubravka Suica, and the Joint Research Centre (JRC). His publications span political science, sociology, economics, demography, econometrics, global and public health, and include several reports targeting policymakers and the public. Topics covered in these reports range from institutional trust and the Covid pandemic to youth issues. His latest project is scheduled to run until 2026.
