The Western University of Timișoara upholds its role as the first comprehensive university of the western region, tenaciously seeking to develop, in addition to the achievements in education and research, also concerns in the sphere of social responsibility and community involvement.

The whole year 2020 was dominated by contradictions, unknowns, fears, but also by challenges and new risks assumed, in front of which the academic community of the West University of Timișoara reacted with a lot of energy, successfully passing through one of the most unexpected periods of its evolution.

After almost a year since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, international scientific networks have managed to develop effective vaccines against this virus, and the efforts of the European Community, of the Romanian state, are visible, making vaccination against SARS-Cov-2 possible in Romania as well, right at the end of last year.

Unfortunately, poor information and uncertainty lead to a disadvantageous situation where appreciable segments of the general population do not understand the demonstrated effectiveness of vaccination. However, the percentage of pro-vaccination reactions in the academic community of the Western University of Timișoara is very good, with over 70% of employees opting to be included in the vaccination campaign for SARS-Cov-2.

Thanks to this positive approach to vaccination, expressed without a doubt by the UVT academic community, the institution assumes its responsibility in the local community and in society by promoting a categorical pro-vaccination message.

Thus, starting from January 20, through Social Media communication channels and through online communication, UVT runs the campaign  "We're back to normal!". The first production of this campaign, produced by the UVT-TV studio, includes the message of professor Adriana Babeți, well-known writer and editor, awarded in 2020 with the title of Knight of Public Health Protection, in recognition of her exceptional involvement in promoting safety measures against the pandemic.

We invite you to find in the UVT pro-vaccination campaign personalities and representatives of the institutional partners of the Western University of Timișoara, who considered it necessary to publicly convey a message of confidence in science, in state institutions and in the European Community.

We thank the institutional partners and the distinguished guests who have become reliable allies of UVT in the pro-vaccination campaign, joining from the Timișoara pre-university environment, cultural institutions in the city or as artistic and literary personalities, colleagues and friends from civil society organizations and from the Timisoara non-governmental environment.
