Steinman had strong ties to Ticino: from 2000 to 2004, he was a member of the IRB Scientific Advisory
Board and collaborated with the researchers in Bellinzona on various projects granted by the European Union. More information. | | | MARE NOSTRUM. THE EUROPEAN CITY AND GLOBALISATION |  | The economy of the contemporary European city
