Oliver Galfetti

Oliver Galfetti serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Business Economics, Health and Social Care at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), with appointments across DEASS, DFA, and the Competence Center for Work, Welfare and Society. Joining SUPSI in 2020 initially as a research and teaching assistant before advancing to his current lecturer position, he bridges academic theory with practical social policy implementation.

His research portfolio centers on organizational analysis of social care institutions within constrained funding environments, examining governance structures, resource allocation, and operational efficiency. Recent publications analyze Swiss foundations like San Pietro Canisio Institute through multi-phase methodological frameworks that identify systemic constraints and develop targeted improvement processes. His scholarly work demonstrates consistent focus on translating organizational theory into practical solutions for social service providers.

Galfetti's educational foundation includes a Political Science Bachelor's from UNIL, Middle East Studies Master's from UNIGE, and specialized SUPSI certifications in Cooperation/Development and Adult Education. His pre-academic journalism career at major Swiss media outlets provides unique perspective on media analysis and international politics that enriches his teaching in political economy and civic education. Current teaching spans DEASS and DFA departments with emphasis on social policy implementation and historical context of welfare systems.
