Contaminazioni. Omaggio scientifico e affettivo a Gian Carlo Avanzi

[Machine translation] It is a tradition, in the field of academic studies, for students to celebrate their Master with a collection of writings. The situation from which this publication originates is not exactly attributable to this custom, but it is partly close. In this case, in fact, it is a matter of celebrating and thanking the Magnificent Rector of the University of Eastern Piedmont, who, in leading the University, in six years of intense and passionate activity, has given each of us delegates and delegates the opportunity to grow and to train ourselves in the difficult but challenging experience of administrative life, learning to develop with him that group intelligence (collective mind, the Anglo-Saxons would say) that sociology studies consider necessary for the good performance and reliability of organizations complex, to which even the University, can't help but ascribe. In the construction of this anthology, through the contamination of ideas, thoughts and experiences, it is possible to grasp the innovative scope of the rectoral mandate, implemented stage by stage, with a frank and direct confrontation with those who, in the frequency of human relationships that have never failed even in the most critical moments, the Rector has been able to motivate and characterize as a real team., An indelible trace remains of this fascinating experience in the collaborative spirit, but even more so in the deep bond that this academic life path has established between all of us, a bond destined to remain and to be extended well beyond the expiry of the six-year term that united us in collaboration with the Rector (in this yes, our Master) in realizing the interests of the university community.
