Thanks to our Rector, prof. Ioan Panzaru and former rector, prof Ion Mihailescu, for their support and understanding: “Education, Research and Technology do not generate welfare, only the products and the services do. But without the first three there is no welfare”. Invest in education and research to get new technologies for new products and services.
