Federica Ammaturo joined the IRS in September 2021 as an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) in the EU-funded Marie Sklodowska Curie Innovative Training Network “CORAL”, which explores the role of collaborative workspaces in rural areas. Federica graduated from the University of Naples Federico II with a Master’s degree in Urban, Regional and Environmental Planning in 2020. During the Master's she attended a one-year Erasmus program at the Hafencity University Hamburg and completed her studies with a thesis on "Places in transition" between urban and rural areas in India through a research grant funded by the Italian Ministry of Research. Federica also holds a post-graduate degree in GIScience for the management of environmental conflicts and public participation at the University of Padua. These experiences, among others, brought her to join the CORAL ITN, where she is going to apply a critical approach to the role of CWS in rural development as part of her PhD research.
