At the end of December 2021 our dear professor and friend Carlo Tassara passed away, undoubtedly unexpected news, Carlo was an indefatigable person, despite his multiple obligations, he did not wait more than 15 minutes to answer an email, he was convinced of social cohesion, public policies and above all international cooperation between Europe and Latin America, an aspect that materialized in publications, agreements, and student mobility.
Each one will have anecdotes that they will remember fondly for the value of their legacy. I met him in 2005 when he was my professor of monitoring and evaluation in the specialization of international cooperation, University of San Buenaventura. From then until 2019 we met every year in Cartagena, he came to teach his classes without missing any cohort.
There are many reasons why the journal's scientific and editorial committee decided to launch this year's issue 9-2 as a tribute to Tassara.
For this we have prof. Jairo Agudelo (from the Universidad del Norte) who will be our guest editor. He was the first to propose to Tassara to venture into teaching, Jairo thanks for accepting this invitation.
Similarly, I am grateful for the support of Maura Viezzoli and Luigi Grando from the Comitato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo dei Popoli (CISP), an organization with which Carlo worked for many years.
However, this call will be possible with the contribution of each one of you, for this reason we extend to you the most cordial invitation to share a review article, research result or reflection.
Attached the cover for dissemination, as well as the details of the call.
