Prof. (Dr.) Francesco Vigliarolo,
Director, UNESCO Chair,
“Economic Systems and Human Rights”
National University of La Plata,
Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.

Short Bio-data:

Dr. Francesco did his PhD in Social Sciences, specializing in economic sociology, ethical finance, and social economics. He is a full-time Professor of Regional Economy at the Catholic University of La Plata. Additionally, he also serve as the Director of the UNESCO Chair in "Economic Systems and Human Rights" at the National University of La Plata. He is also an Associate Researcher at the CESOT (Center for the Study of Sociology of Work) at the University of Buenos Aires. His primary focus lies in local development processes, particularly the construction of territorial identities that involve asserting rights (ontological reason) through associative forms of production and ethical finance tools. Throughout his career, he had published numerous books and scientific articles delving into concepts such as "Ethical social capital", "Economic socialization and democratization", "The principles of economic phenomenology", "Ontological reason of economy and demand for rights of economy," and "Meso-economic approach."
