On Feb. 28, 2023, on the occasion of the Inauguration of the 2022/2023 Academic Year, Università IULM conferred the Laurea Magistrale Honoris Causa in Specialist Translation and Conference Interpreting to Professor Claudio Magris, renowned scholar and man of letters, author of some of the finest books published in Italy, including "Microcosms."

"This writer, this world-renowned intellectual ," read the motivations that Prof. Paolo Proietti read during the Ceremony, "is a master of interdisciplinary openings, of trespassing, of interculture. It cannot be said that there is any territory of European consciousness that has not been at the center of his reflections and his multifaceted literary representation, in which he invites us, almost on every page, to confront the crisis of the great value systems, but also with our desire for redemption, with the not disillusioned and stubborn will and hope to change and order reality. Magris's is a plural identity and his prismatic writing reflects all its richness and articulation, making it a gift and heritage for all."
