The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential course with modules on innovation and enterprise culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all areas to solve challenges set by companies and organisations.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.

TEACHING METHODS
Teaching methods encompass lectures, analysis of practical case studies and discussion with entrepreneurs and managers giving guest lectures. These methods are aimed to provide participants both with the needed knowledge regarding international management and with the ability to apply such knowledge practically and critically.
The students may optionally decide to participate to a teamwork which consists of the analysis of the exporting strategy of a firm. The teamwork is totally elective and is intended as an opportunity for participants to test their ability to apply the acquired knowledge. The instructions for the teamwork will be presented during the lectures. The teamwork will be evaluated with 1 to 3 points, which will be summed to the mark of the exam.
Learning assessment procedures
Examination methods and contents are the same for all students (for both students who attend and students who do not attend the lectures).
ASSESSMENT METHODS: Written exam which includes five questions with a limited space for each answer (an example of the exam will be provided in Moodle).
AIMS: The exam aims at evaluating both the level of knowledge acquired by the students and their ability to apply such knowledge to practical business situations.
CONTENTS: The exam covers all the contents of the course (including entrepreneurs’ and managers’ guest lectures).
Evaluation criteria
The evaluation takes into consideration the following elements: level of knowledge, ability to critically apply knowledge, appropriate use of the technical language.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
A grade from 0 to 6 is given to the answers to the 5 questions. The final mark is obtained by summing the ratings obtained in the answers to the 5 questions. A mark equal to or higher than 18/30 is required to pass the exam.

The final exam consists of a paper in written form of at least 80 pages, exploring a topic of the student's choice relating to one of the subjects in the student's syllabus. The topic and title of the paper must be selected in agreement with a university lecturer from one of the SSDs included in the student's syllabus. The work must be developed under the guidance of the lecturer. The thesis is the subject of an oral presentation and discussion in front of a Degree Committee on one of the dates established explicitly in the calendar of teaching activities. In agreement with the Supervisor, the thesis may be written, and the discussion may take place in English.
Internships
The curriculum of the three-year degree courses (CdL) and master's degree courses (CdLM) in the economics area includes an internship as a compulsory training activity. Indeed, the internship is considered an appropriate tool for acquiring professional skills and abilities and for facilitating the choice of a future professional outlet that aligns with one's expectations, aptitudes, and aspirations. The student can acquire further competencies and interpersonal skills through practical experience in a work environment.
