Versione stampabile

The President of the University of Trento ratified the appointment of the Supervisory Committee for the selection of candidatures for the upcoming Rector’s election. The Committee is in charge - in compliance with the University Statute and the General Regulation - of submitting the criteria and deadlines of the call for candidatures and of evaluating the candidatures. 

The Supervisory Committee is made of:

  • Amalia Bosia, who used to be full professor of Biochemistry at the University of Turin, and member of the Academy of Sciences (appointed by the Board of Directors);
  • Gianni Toniolo, research professor at the Duke University and former member of the University Board of Directors (jointly appointed by the Board of Directors and the Academic Senate);
  • Gianni Santucci, full professor of Roman Law at the University of Trento (appointed by the Academic Senate).

The Committee’s appointment is the first formal step towards the election of the next Rector of the University of Trento, after the resignation of Daria de Pretis, following her appointment as a judge of the Constitutional Court, which are likely to be submitted on 11 November.

According to the Statute, the Rector will be chosen among the selected candidates, among the full professors of the University of Trento or of other universities, working full time, or available to work full time if elected. 

The Committee will evaluate the eligibility of candidatures, on the basis of the candidates’ scientific curriculum and their overall experience, in particular regarding the management of complex academic structures, and their participation with scientific responsibility in significant national and international research projects.

After the Committee’s appointment, Innocenzo Cipolletta, President of the Board of Directors of the University of Trento will publish a vacancy notice, outlining the deadlines to submit the candidatures, the pre-requisites, the list of documents to submit and the overall criteria.
