Carlo Busini
Master in Global Economics and Social Affairs, Ca’Foscari Challenge School
I came to the Caucasus Institute to do an internship that was part of my master’s programme in Venice in Global Economics and Social Affairs at the Ca’Foscari challenge school. I chose to conduct my internship precisely in Armenia and at this institute because Armenia has always been at the centre of my interests and especially what concerns its politics, international relations and history. So, I wanted to grow in this area and really have a first-hand experience in Armenia. At the Caucasus institute, I was immediately able to work passionately with a group of experts in a serene, dynamic and stimulating environment. We agreed on what my interests and ambitions were and I was supported from day one. I had the opportunity to attend conferences, write on many topics and do research and interviews myself in different places and with different people in Yerevan. I can definitely say that it has been a more than positive experience both on a human and professional level and now I definitely have that extra baggage to continue to conduct all my passion and future projects to the best of my ability.

The warm and welcoming environment at the institute, coupled with the willingness of the members to assist and clarify any questions, played a crucial role in the learning process. The internship at the Caucasus Institute has become an irreplaceable experience, enriching not only professional knowledge and skills but also greatly contributing to personal and professional growth.
