Cristina Dalla Torre has been working as Junior Researcher in the Mountain Sociology and Rural Economy Research Focus Area at the Institute for Regional Development since the beginning of 2017. She received an MA in Economics and Policy of the Environment, Culture and Territory from the University of Torino (March 2016).
Her interest in the socio-economic and environmental aspects of mountain and rural development is reflected in her multidisciplinary approach to research, which includes social innovation in marginalised rural areas, labour integration of migrants in mountain territories and circular economy, with specific focus on applied research methods and participatory processes. Before joining Eurac Research, Cristina concluded a six-month internship at the International Commission for the Protection of Alps (CIPRA International).
She is fluent in English, German and French, besides her mother tongue Italian, and is passionate about anthropology and wild animal behaviour.
