CONSULTING
In 2008, a series of consulting interventions were carried out for Regione Lombardia on the topics of commerce and promotion of small and medium enterprises, activation of an information and support service for municipalities on waste collection and disposal and gas distribution, management of the second funding call for the acquisition of low or zero environmental impact vehicles by municipal administrations, and the development of a portal for local public services.
Consulting activities on information systems aimed to support change processes in individual municipal realities, the development of associated management, and the creation of a portal for immigration services.
For municipalities seeking to select the most suitable form of gas network management, legal assistance services were provided.
Operational assistance paths for privacy law application were defined and offered to address privacy-related issues.
Interventions were carried out for Lombardian municipalities to activate projects integrated into the new National Civil Service system.
The “Equity in Rete” project, focused on building local networks to promote the school integration of disabled individuals, constituted a significant area of activity, collaboratively managed with Iref (Regional Training Institute) and the Don Gnocchi Foundation.
