UDINE. For his contribution to the establishment of professional degrees, the skills demonstrated and the works carried out, on Monday 27 June the University of Udine conferred an honorary master’s degree in Management Engineering to Giuseppe Jogna. The highest academic recognition was proposed by the Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture.

Originally from Forgaria del Friuli, Jogna was among the main proponents of the professional-oriented degrees established with Ministerial Decree 446 of 2020. An objective that had committed him with the National Council of Industrial Experts in support of the action of the Conference of Rectors of Italian universities (Crui) and its then general secretary, Alberto Felice De Toni, at that time rector of the Friulian university.

A tenacious action also due to Jogna’s profound knowledge of the sector of technical professions, with more than 50 years of commitment in the roles of representative of industrial and graduate industrial experts. In particular, as president of the Italian industrial experts for almost 20 years and, for ten, of the pension fund of the experts, which he helped to found.

The ceremony saw the initial interventions of the Vice-Rector, Angelo Montanari, who also brought greetings from the Rector, Roberto Pinton, the Director of the Department, Alessandro Gasparetto, and the President of the National Council of the Order of Industrial Experts, Giovanni Esposito. At the end, the president of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Regional Council, Pietro Mauro Zanin, also spoke.

The rector’s message

«Giuseppe Jogna – the rector Roberto Pinton said in his message – is the quintessence of the bearer of fundamental values ​​of his homeland, Friuli, such as the passion for work, the development of skills and social promotion.

It is a far-sighted model for its action in support of education as a form of civil progress in a territory. It represents an exemplary case of professional commitment and institutional representation to be proudly presented to our students.

In particular – underlined Pinton -, for the significant contribution given to the institution of professional-oriented degrees, ensuring fruitful interaction between the Ministry of University and Research, the National Council of the category and the Rectors’ Conference “.

The lectio

Jogna, in his lecture entitled “A door opens for the future of technicians”, first of all encouraged young people to study. You urged young people “who today have so many opportunities”, “not to neglect the possibility of satisfying their curiosities and training themselves in the best possible way, according to their inclinations”.

And, referring to the University of Udine, he recalled how “even the children of my country, now, can have a prestigious university, close at hand, strongly desired by the Friulian people, with the endorsement of the push for rebirth following the earthquake, which in just over forty years has achieved widely recognized development and prestige ».

“The true reformists distinguish between those who think about the future and those who only think about the present.” This is the principle that guided Jogna throughout his life, in particular during the institutional representation of the category. Especially in its most revolutionary battle, the birth of professional degrees.

A success that, he underlined, “was able to count on the irrepressible action of the then general secretary of the Crui (ed. Alberto Felice De Toni), an organization that brings together the rectors of Italy, which has spent so much for this solution: I believe I to be able to affirm that he was the real promoter “.

The industrial experts and graduate industrial experts, he recalled, “are deeply grateful to De Toni, who has always appreciated and honored them with his friendship”.

La praise

Dedicated to “The temper of a man, designer and builder of the future”, the laudatio was delivered by Alberto Felice De Toni. Jogna, said the laudatore, «he has spent a lifetime with and for industrial experts.

A life that began in a war-torn Friuli, in a popular family with the father who emigrated abroad to support the family, with the dream of studying “using every resource” and distinguishing himself as the best student every year in the evening school ».

De Toni highlighted the ability of the new honorary graduate to “look into the distance, to read the context, to be patient and at the same time determined, like those who have been educated to never give up”.

Jogna, according to De Toni, “was able to see and open many doors to the future of technicians, guiding impetuous changes, with optimism in the darkest moments and a stubborn stubbornness in the most difficult ones, in the conviction, as he writes in his books, that “the darkest moment of the night is the one before dawn” ».

Greetings

«Giuseppe Jogna was the forerunner of a new age as regards the relationship between technical training and university engineering – underlined the director of the Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture, Alessandro Gasparetto -. It can be said that his action created a bridge between these two worlds which traditionally occupied distinct fields and communicated in a limited way.

His commitment to the birth of professional degrees has allowed engineering to expand its fields beyond its traditional borders and, to the entire Italian university system, to achieve virtuous models at European level, including the German one, making it in this more suitable way to face the competitive challenges that this era offers us ».

The president of the National Council of the Order of Industrial Experts, Giovanni Esposito, also took the floor. «Giuseppe was above all one of the pioneers, when perhaps none of us could yet imagine it, of the principle according to which the technical professional, therefore the industrial expert, had to be a graduate – explained Esposito -. The umpteenth battle for the strong category of that European principle according to which to exercise an intellectual profession it was necessary to have at least a three-year degree ».

This conferment, Esposito concluded, “represents the worthy recognition of a life spent for the category of industrial experts and for its prestige. Dear Giuseppe, this degree is yours, but it is the degree of all of us industrial experts ».

The profile of the graduate

Giuseppe Jogna, born in 1937, graduated from the industrial technical institute “Arturo Malignani” in Udine in 1958.

Thus keeping faith with the teaching and tenacity handed down to him by his father, a bricklayer who emigrated to France, who encouraged him to study because he saw education as the main source of social redemption.

A commitment, that on the side of university professionalization, which Jogna then poured on the theme of professional degrees.
