I know that I was right to come to this campus.<br \/>\nI have a lot of reasons for having enjoyed my stay: The work we<br \/>\nhave done in the seminar with the faculty, the meetings with<br \/>\nseveral departments, the discussions with students, the hours in<br \/>\nthe library reading and sometimes chattering, gave me the<br \/>\npossibility of meeting with faculty and students in the form which<br \/>\nseems to me the most convenient and the most efficient. Through<br \/>\nthese meetings I have understood that most of us share the same<br \/>\nvery general views concerning the meaning and the goal of our<br \/>\nintellectual work, the usefulness of interdisciplinary research, and<br \/>\nthe necessity of excavating our own culture in order to open a free<br \/>\nspace for innovation and creativity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">&#8220;All that made for a very good time in ___.
