International economics - University of Padua

Updated: Jul 27

In this chapter of my #Education, I’ll walk you through my university years at the University of Padua, where I earned my degree in International Economics between 2011 and 2015.



🏛 About the University of Padua

Officially founded in 1222 (yes, before the Black Plague was trendy), the University of Padua is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Italy.


Its centuries-old academic tradition is passed down from one generation of professors to the next—kind of like a very nerdy family heirloom.



🎓 My Degree


In 2015, I graduated from the Faculty of Economics with a specialization in International Economics. Over the course of my studies, I explored global markets, international cooperation, and development economics.

📘 My Thesis


Alberto Carniel has just graduated in International Economics from the University of Padua and he is standing at Palazzo Bo with his parents (Cristina Infante and Carlo Carniel), holding his thesis: Role and evolution of humanitarian aid in the Italian Development Cooperation.

For my thesis, I analyzed Italy’s role in international cooperation programs, focusing on humanitarian aid efforts.


In March 2015, I published: “Role and evolution of humanitarian aid in the Italian Development Cooperation”.


This work covered the historical shifts in Italy’s approach to humanitarian aid, with a special focus on the Military Corps of the Red Cross—one of the most active entities in international relief efforts.


As a Commissioner Lieutenant Junior Grade at the time, I felt a strong responsibility to shed light on the Corps’ contributions to global development alongside organizations like the International Red Cross.


If you’re fluent in Italian and curious, you can read my thesis here. Please credit me if you cite it—my academic side will thank you.
