HORIZON-WIDERA-CSA/ Project Advancing Research Careers through Organizational Excellence (ARCOE)
Implementation period: 2025-2028
UBB partner coordinator: Lect. Dr. Christian SCHUSTER
UBB partner, responsible for WP4 Development and Roll-out of Career Services and Training Programs
ARCOE aims to create a virtual talent innovation ecosystem to improve HR practices, career development and research collaboration. First, an in-depth organizational assessment will be conducted, including a review in Widera countries, to assess career development frameworks, HR practices and alignment with the Research Charter.
A gap analysis will then be conducted to identify areas for improvement. The Centre will support researchers in their professional development, acting as a centralized place for networking, training and career development. Training programs and career services focused on digital transformation, deep tech industries and the Green Deal will be developed through the center.
The project will assist 15 participating organizations in applying for HRS4R, ensuring compliance with strict guidelines for recruiting researchers. In addition, there will be a focus on networking and collaboration between the academic and non-academic sectors through the Meet&Match system in the ecosystem hub to strengthen alliances and encourage researcher mobility.
For the virtual hub, a long-term business plan will be created to ensure its viability even after the end of the project. In addition, ARCOE will implement a comprehensive communication and distribution plan to ensure maximum impact and reach.
To increase the project’s influence and promote international cooperation, synergies with other projects and programs will be explored. In conclusion, ARCOE is dedicated to fostering talent ecosystems that create attractive and sustainable initial research careers.

ERASMUS+/ Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence – Enhancing EU’s role in consolidating local democratic resilience in Moldova and Serbia DREMS (ERASMUS-JMO-2022-COE)
Implementation period: 2022-2025
Project manager: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Adrian-Gabriel CORPĂDEAN
The project „Enhancing EU’s role in consolidating local democratic resilience in Moldova and Serbia (DREMS)” is designed to help strengthen democratic resilience at local level in these two countries (Republic of Moldova and Serbia) by promoting the transfer of knowledge and best practices in the field of democracy, involving academia and civil society.
To this end, the DREMS project aims to increase the level of knowledge on democracy in Eastern Europe in the academic environment by introducing three new courses in the university curriculum, at bachelor and master level, taught in Romanian or English, as appropriate.
The project also aims to produce 10 podcasts with key representatives from academia, civil society or politics, a policy brief, four scientific articles and a local democratic resilience kit, all based on data collected during the research phases (including focus groups with representatives from local government, academia, civil society and local media) in both countries.
In addition, the project offers four internships for civil society representatives from Serbia and the Republic of Moldova, divided into two phases. In the first – residential – phase, the fellows will be present in Cluj-Napoca, where they will benefit from a training program and participate in an exchange of best practices with a local non-governmental organization. In the second phase, the trainees will return to their home countries, where they will organize four information and awareness-raising events in their countries of origin.
The purpose for which the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence has been created is to function as an academic point of expertise in the field of democratization and democratic resilience, working closely with civil society in Eastern Europe and generating relevant contributions that will complement the European Union’s initiatives in this field.

Project PNRR Digitalisation of UBB: Digital Infrastructure for Teaching and Research Purposes (Digital HUBB)
Implementation period: 2022–2025
The overall objective of the project is the modernization of the educational and research ecosystem through strategic investments in digital infrastructure, with a direct impact on the quality of teaching, advanced research and technological innovation.
For the Faculty of European Studies, the funding has enabled the development of interactive and collaborative teaching technologies by equipping an AE Lab.
The AE Lab provides an advanced digital teaching environment adapted to current trends in education. It is equipped with interactive screens connected to students’ and teachers’ computers, thus facilitating individual and group activities, hybrid sessions and real-time content annotation.
To optimize collaboration and communication, the lab is equipped with a high-performance videoconferencing system centered on the Yealink MeetingEye 800 platform, which integrates multiple video cameras, three-screen display and interaction with AV systems. Image capture is provided by strategically placed PTZ cameras and sound is picked up by high-definition ceiling microphones.
The video collaboration platform allows for teaching from any location, content sharing and co- annotation, and easy session management. The integrated webinar solution provides an accessible, interactive and professional experience for all participants with streamlined access, chat, Q&A and voting options.
The digital sound system, based on the Audio-Technica ATDM-0604 Audio-Technica ATDM-0604 mixer and wireless microphones, ensures excellent sound quality and intuitive operation without requiring technical skills.
The AE Lab thus creates a modern, safe and efficient educational environment adapted to today’s hybrid learning requirements.

ERASMUS +
The Faculty of European Studies has been conducting projects funded by the European Union since its establishment. Among the most recent endeavours that our students have benefitted from, in areas covering the convergence between education and active life, cooperation with the business and public environment, academic networking and curriculum development, one should note:
* DYCLAM+is an original European university training programme under the ERASMUS+ label (2019-2024), offering academic education at Jean Monnet University of Saint-Etienne (France, 1st semester), Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (Portugal, 2nd semester), Babeș-Bolyai University (Romania, 3rd semester) and University of Naples Federico II (Italy, 4th semester and delocalized courses) and at numerous other partner universities. The project is implemented within our Cultural Diplomacy and International Relations Master’s Programme and enables students to apply for a quadruple-degree course with a focus on the European and global patrimony. It is sponsored by the European Commission.
* The Erasmus Mundus MITRA programme was launched in 2012 and is called “intercultural mediation: identities, mobilities and conflicts”. It intends to respond to the rising social challenges besetting the European societies which have been particularly affected by the “migratory crisis” and its consequences. This crisis has exacerbated political tensions at both national and international levels due to diverging approaches to migration issues. This challenge, a by-product of globalisation processes cutting across European borders, reveals deep-rooted, underlying tensions in today’s societies. MITRA teaching staff have acknowledged this changing context and allowed for more focus on migration to be brought into this project. The MITRA Master’s programme is an Erasmus Joint Master Degree (EJMD), co-funded by the European Agency (EACEA), since 2012 (2012-2018) and again since 2019 (2019-2024).
* The “LISBOAN” Project, part of the EU’s Lifelong Learning Programme (2010-2013), in collaboration with the University of Cologne.
