Davide Carnevali
After graduating with a degree in Methodology of Political Science at the University of Bologna (Public Administration Division) in 1990, he began collaborating in the Centre of Study on the Judicial Administration: concerning the institutional setting of the judiciary, monitoring of the new code of criminal procedure, the organization and functioning of judicial offices, the video-recording systems, and the introduction of information technology in the courts. He had several judicial administration scholarships abroad as a visiting scholar, awarded by universities and research institutions.
Until 1998 he was a consultant in the research fields mentioned above and a lecturer in the related training programme. From 1999 to 2001, he also served as Organizational Analyst at the Italian Ministry of Justice, IT General Directorate. During this period, he was mainly involved in monitoring the reform of first-instance courts and developing the electronic exchange of data and documents in civil justice.
Since 2001, Davide Carnevali has been a Researcher at the National Research Council of Italy. His research interests, involvement in projects, and publications deal with institutional setting and functioning of the judicial systems, justice reforms, judicial administration, law and technology, e-Justice, organizational change in justice systems, and assessment and improvement of the quality of justice.
In particular, he is currently responsible for the VICTIMS Project on the analysis and the rights promotion of victims of crime in the context of an agreement with the Italian Ministry of Justice; the LEILA Project on the creation of a multilingual European platform for auctions co-financed by the European Commission; and the RIGIUSS-Next Project on the study of justice reforms for the development of contemporary societies, in the light of the “Next Generation EU” programme and PNRR.
