Hi, Antonello, In working on Coworking in Europe you are really spoiled for choice in terms of a topic.
You can compare coworking with and without government subsidy for instance. You can compare coworking models which do and do not offer registration of the business with local/national government, a very interesting subject at least here in northern Europe. You can talk about the emerging shared membership efforts (for which you have a glorious and shining example in Italy of course in COWO). If I were doing a thesis, I would do it on the interface of coworking with entirely internet-based businesses: webshops, import/export, and various other kinds of services. But that is probably because I am presently occupied with trying to crack that nut. Or I would do it on the emergence of coworking in the trades, but then of course ditto. The future is already here, it just is not evenly distributed (Gibson) and one of the themes of people actually coworking in Europe in my experience is that the law and regulation of business in Europe is based in a model which has not changed in...well, let's just say a very long time, but doing business has. And this leaves both the folks who work for the government and the coworkers to make it up as we go along, with a heaping helping of misunderstanding on both sides. You could choose a sector for instance and look at this question either within Italy or within Europe and make recommendations for regulation that the government might take.
