The ultimate purpose is to enable young researchers to establish and consolidate relationships with Italian research centers, with the aim of developing common research projects. The AESOP 2019 YITP is targeted to AESOP Young Academics that will be hosted in 8 Italian Universities for a research period of 1 month before Aesop Conference 2019 in Venice.

The program is organised by the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence within the framework of the AESOP, the AESOP Young Academics network, and the AESOP thematic group on regional design.
