The rector of UVT, university professor Dr. Marilen Pirtea: "Cultural diplomacy carried out internationally is a special component of the contribution made by the University of West in Timișoara within the program dedicated to the European cultural year 2023. The concerts offered by maestro Alexandru Tomescu, together with the valuable pianist Sînziana Mircea, but also the exhibitions that will be opened at the Accademia di Romania in Rome and at the University of Cadiz, confirm the role of the UVT academic community in the international support and promotion of European values in Romanian culture."
