University Politehnica of Bucharest<\/h4>\n

Two Centuries of Innovation<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

In the next period, the University Politehnica of Bucharest will celebrate its bicentenary with a remarkable series of events – from symposiums to shows, from exhibitions to scientific events, all focusing on telling the story of the largest technical university in Romania.<\/p>\n

On the verge of these two centuries, our university is full of energy, enthusiasm and confidence in the future – but more than anything we begin to feel all the great potential of our academic community and the need for a common goal – such a strong desire that it began to define the very objectives of our university.<\/p>\n

That is why all the events that will take place this year and the next academic year will focus on issues with economic and technological impact, and ways of ensuring our university can have a positive impact on society through knowledge. This whole series of events will be an expression of our leading regional role in research, technology and training of highly specialized engineers.<\/p>\n
