Who is and what an Ombuds actually does

An Ombuds works to ensure impartiality and transparency in all activities related to the educational programs and services provided to international students participating in Study, Traineeship and Placement mobility projects.
By virtue of a decision taken by the Academic Senate during its meeting of July 8, 2026 (Ref. No. 45457-II dated July 28, 2026; Rep. No. 209/2026), Mrs. Giorgia Viola Lacasella, attorney-at-law, was appointed Ombuds for Incoming Students at the University of Foggia.

How to contact the Ombuds

Incoming Students can write, mail, or email to the Ombuds using the form available at the bottom of this page. Requests or complaints may be submitted in Italian, English, or French and must be signed, possibly accompanied by supporting documentation. Anonymous requests/complaints will not be accepted.
The University and the Incoming Student Ombuds work confidentially and keep secret information obtained while performing the assigned functions.

How the Ombuds operates

As an advocate for transparency and impartiality at the University, the Incoming Student Ombuds will assess any request or complaint and, if necessary, ask, verbally or in writing, for further information or clarification.
