Some ideas for contributions
Ciao Rossella,
nice to see you coming in here. Hayford has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical suggestions on what possibilities you have to contribute. Most of the articles would benefit from illustrations (or improved ones), though to what extent and how are currently subject to debate. But of course, you are welcome to contribute text, equations, videos, links and other materials too. For a start, I display below the current state of CZ articles related to your interests (for icon documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):
Economics [r]: The analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. [e]- International economics [r]: The study of the patterns and consequences of transactions and interactions between the inhabitants of different countries, including trade, investment and migration. [e]
- Ecological economics [r]: Add brief definition or description
Statistics [r]: A branch of mathematics that specializes in enumeration, or counted, data and their relation to measured data. [e]- Graphic design [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Visual arts [r]: Creative fields that produce works primarily experienced through the sense of sight. [e]
- Visualization [r]: Add brief definition or description
Academia [r]: An umbrella term for scholars and their institutions. [e]- Eurodoc [r]: Add brief definition or description
- PhD [r]: A common abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy. [e]
- Breda [r]: Add brief definition or description

- Netherlands [r]: Constitutional monarchy (population c. 16.6 million; capital Amsterdam) located at the delta of three major rivers (Rhine, Maas or Meuse, and Schelde) in north-western Europe; situated between Germany and Belgium, and bordering the North Sea to the north and west; founding member of the European Union. [e]

- Italy [r]: Southern European republic (population c. 58.1 million; capital Rome) that has northern borders with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia, and coastlines on the Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean, Ionian and Adriatic seas; founding member of the European Union. [e]
In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the Related Article subpages of such an article (or the [r]).
Furthermore, in case you are involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via Eduzendium articles.
