Opening of the academic year 2022-2023, at UVT

The West University of Timișoara opens the academic year with a spectacular week, which promises to be full of energy and enthusiasm, with many eagerly awaited events, as every year.

Starting from Monday, September 26, a program dedicated to first-year "freshmen" will begin, which includes specific activities "Welcome to UVT" induction weeks, a period of acquaintance and accommodation full of friendly, artistic and sporting events, held until October 3, 2022.

During these days, students enrolled in the first year of undergraduate university study programs are expected at UVT to discover what it means to be a student, to discover how the university environment works and for moments of joy with new friends, in a familiar setting, where knowledge, sport and art will come first.

Among the activities occasioned by the event of the opening of the academic year, the special festivity of The opening of the academic year 2022-2023, organized Thursday, September 29, starting at 12 o'clock (in the Aula Magna "Ioan Curea" of UVT), where students, their families and relatives are expected to participate, as well as university students, researchers and invited community personalities of UVT, a special celebration that marks the beginning of academic activities in the new academic year. The moment will be enriched and enhanced by the presence of the special guest of the Western University of Timișoara, His Excellency, Mr. Carlos Moedas, the current mayor of Lisbon, international political and academic personality, former European Commissioner for Research and Innovation, to whom the UVT will grant the title of Honorary Doctorate during the award ceremony, which will take place on the same day, starting from 10 a.m., in the "Ioan Curea" Aula Magna of UVT.

The program and events of the initiation week at UVT culminate with the fifth edition of the UVT Liberty Marathon, organized on Sunday, October 2. Along with the surprises that those who have already participated in the previous editions of the UVT Liberty Marathon are used to, this year's event is special, once more, because it is the first marathon in Timișoara with a route approved by World Athletics, but also because, starting this year, the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee is an official partner of the event, and the finisher's medal of this edition is signed by Mihai Covaliu, president of the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee, world and European Olympic champion.

Benefiting from the honorable presence of Mr Mihai Covaliu in Timișoara, the West University of Timișoara will grant it to him UVT gold medal, accompanied by UVT merit diploma, for the contribution it brings both to the benefit of Romanian sport internationally, and for the support that UVT gives, through the partnership made with the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee. Monday, October 3, there will be an official awarding event of the UVT Gold Medal and Diploma of Merit (starting with 9 a.m., in the "Ioan Curea" Aula Magna of UVT).

The last day of the Initiation Week will end with a long-awaited moment, the festival UNIVIBES 2022 – Occupy the university!, which transforms the whole university into a big venue for concerts, art exhibitions & parties. Established artists will turn the UVT headquarters into a dancefloor for one day, to celebrate together the beginning of a new academic year.

UVT rector, Marilen Gabriel Pirtea: "We say "Welcome to UVT!" first-year students, but also their colleagues from older years, at the start of the new academic year. We offer them special opportunities in the Initiation Week calendar, which includes information, counseling and orientation events in the university environment, tours of the city of Timișoara and team building activities, cultural and sports events, conferences and debates. Last but not least, this year the fifth edition of the UVT Liberty Marathon will take place, on October 2, and on October 3 we will enter the unique vibe of UNIVIBES. In addition, on Thursday, September 29, we will have the joy of conferring the title of Doctor Honoris Causa UVT to Mr. Carlos Moedas, mayor of Lisbon. We are waiting for you at the university initiation, in the atmosphere of joy and energy specific to the opening of the academic year!"
