Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale “Amedeo Avogadro” Presentation WEM Lisbon, 22nd May 2003 Gisella Favagrossa, Paolo Pomati The University • The University of Eastern Piedmont “Amedeo Avogadro” was established as an autonomous institution in 1998 and, after its first five years of life, it has taken its rightful place as a scientific and cultural hub among Italian universities. The Mission • The aim of this small but promising university is ambitious, yet quite feasible. • Its strength lies in the particularly favorable teacher-student relations which allows students to be taken care of, step by step, throughout their academic career. • Credit is due to the university for having made an attentive analysis of the novelties ushered by the University Reform. What We Offer • The educational offer spans the full range of branches of knowledge and is organized into a wide series of activities. • There are basic and characterizing courses, integrating practices, laboratories, apprenticeships, training periods and international exchanges. The facilities • The Rectorate and the Faculties all have a broad range of facilities and services to improve the quality of students’ lives and to assist them before, during and after the university years. • This includes IT-laboratories, well-stocked libraries, special financing for cultural activities and sport, counseling and prizes to meritorious students. • Above all, the centers of studies are situated in towns whose tranquil, homely atmosphere helps students to harmoniously enter university life.
