The word INGEGNERI - i.e. "Engineers" - means the technical-operating peculiarity of the Association, which gives the most different professionals the opportunity to express themselves at their best.

The word OLTRE (i.e. "Beyond") means the attitude with which works are carried out: beyond frontiers, beyond cultural diversities, beyond self-interests, beyond political opinions, and beyond all that the Partners intended to build at the beginning, because this Association will discover its fate along the way.

The reference model of INGEGNERI OLTRE is Abraham, who is universally considered the forerunner of a way of living that departs from the mould of routine life. At a certain point of his life, Abraham, a well-off dweller of Mesopotamia, was called by God to leave his land and his certainties to experience a new, greater adventure. A few years later, he complained to the Lord about his life: for, notwithstanding all His promises, he couldn't see anything great in it. The Lord listened to Abraham's complaint, then took him out off his tent and his world and said: “Look at the sky and count the stars, if you can." Then He added: "Such shall your offspring be." Since he let himself be taken out of what he really was, of what he had, and off his thoughts, Abraham is the ideal model by which the Association's Partners want to be inspired when they think of the word "OLTRE" ("Beyond").

Moreover, in Italian as well as in English, the word "OLTRE" defines the bench marks of the operating mode of the Association:

O= Organizzazione ("Organization"),
L= Lavoro ("Labour"),
T= Tecnologie ("Technology"),
R= Relazioni ("Relationships"),
E= Esperienza ("Experience").
