Course contents

Global trends show that technological innovation, digital transformation and Artificial Intelligence revolution are shaping unprecedented and challenging future scenarios. Public policy and decision-making processes need to adapt their strategies to give prompt and effective responses to forthcoming challenges and shape a sustainable future from an economic, social and environmental perspective. In order to deal with the challenges technological change poses in our horizon, the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO), under the auspices of the Turin School of Development (TSD) and in partnership with the Politecnico di Torino, is offering this Master in Technology and Public Policy. With a global faculty, participants will be able to understand the features of technological innovation in various fields, from digitalization, green energy and circular economy to space economy, e-health and the silver economy; thoroughly examine the links between technological innovation processes and public policy production; analyse the social, economic, legal and cultural determinants of technology and its impacts on both economy and society; assess public policy interventions in response to issues arising from the use of new technologies; design public policy responses to targeted questions in different technological and institutional contexts and explore how new forms of innovation can contribute to social, economic and ecological sustainability. Participants will acquire a combination of science, technical and policy analysis tools, techniques and skills to recognize and anticipate change while responding to complex situations in their respective relevant fields. Throughout the course, participants will be supported in the design and development of a specific project aimed at addressing challenges posed by the continuous process of technological innovation through public policy that will represent their final thesis.

What are the topics?
- Technological innovation, in fields like digitalization, energy, mobility, etc.;
- Public policy design and production for new technological scenarios and social challenges;
- Policy impact evaluation;
- Sustainable transitions through socio-technical system shifts;
- Economics of innovation, employment and labour markets;
- Research design and project management.

Participants will acquire tools and expertise to:
- Understand the main features of technological innovation as applied to different economic sectors;
- Discern the processes and stages of public policy production in different institutional contexts;
- Critically analyse the impact of technological change on both economy and society, at multiple levels (e.g. employment, wealth concentration and globalization, poverty and social cohesion, environment);
- Recognise and interpret the social, economic, legal and cultural preconditions related to technological development;
- Analyse the links between technological change and public policy in all the various contexts that technological innovations can shape;
- Assess existing or new public policy interventions in response to social, economic, legal and environmental issues arising from the use of new technologies;
- Design public policy responses to targeted questions in different technological and institutional contexts at a country-based level, with an aim to promote sustainable value creation through technological innovation;
- Identify the new economic and social challenges posed globally by innovation and digitalization and transform them into new opportunities for all.

This one-year Specializing Master's programme is intensive by design. It combines a distance-learning module, a face-to-face component and the preparation of the final thesis.
The programme is delivered as a First-level specializing Master’s Degree by Politecnico di Torino.
