Romania

Description: The University of Bucharest (UB), founded in 1864, is one of the most important institutions for higher education and research in Romania and in the South-East of Europe. The main purpose of the UB is to provide the highest-quality educational services and research activities, maintaining competitive standards at an international level, while showing a continuous concern for ensuring quality, inter-disciplinary collaboration, and excellence of academic staff. Currently, the UB offers study programmes in a large variety of fields, from humanities and social sciences to natural sciences and mathematics. UB supports the fundamental and applied research, inter- and trans-disciplinarity, fully in line with the national priorities and the European framework, aiming to provide feasible solutions and services for the societal challenges and economic needs.
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Research on Territorial Dynamics (CICADIT) was founded in 2001, within the University of Bucharest, with the goal of promoting high-level research in the field of territorial dynamics analysis. Our team aims to increase the contribution of geography to addressing the complex challenges of supporting sustainable development of urban and rural areas. Aside from numerous research contracts at the national and regional level, CICADIT was involved in different international projects under the ESPON and ERA-Net programs. Our most recent work focused on planning, governance, territorial disparities, local and regional development, urban sprawl, the urban-rural interface, and small towns, all from a multi-scalar perspective.
