Mission and values

The spirit of the Western University of Timișoara is one of performance and excellence, as a gradual and permanent result of the effort to be better. UVT advocates for an education correlated with the immediate needs of the labor market, an education that aims, in addition to scientific performance and socio-economic employment, to reveal the human personality as a whole. 

Mission

In addition to the role of a training institution for specialists in specific areas of competence, we also assume that of a vital institution for the western region of the country, which actively participates in the great regional and national socio-economic challenges, aware of its role in Romanian society. We propose that our activity closely reflects the importance given to the development of the community in which we operate, a space in which we imprint our cultural and social values ​​acquired over time.

Values

Beyond its educational mission, the Western University of Timișoara promotes a set of values ​​and moral principles to transmit and guide future generations:

Academic freedom

We protect the individual and collective freedom of members of the academic community to acquire, develop and transmit knowledge through research, documentation, debate; freedom of thought, conscience, religion and expression, as well as the right to information, without discrimination or coercion.

Solidarity and mutual respect

Shared values ​​and interests form the basis of our university's strong community, a community coagulated on the basis of mutual trust and respect among its members.

Diversity

We recognize, respect and value differences in personalities, opinions and abilities, accepting alternative models of excellence in research and creation.

Personalization

We individualize the educational process by diversifying it depending on the student; we organize the activities of learning, scientific research and university creation to meet the needs of students to build and manage their different life projects.

Transparency

With a prompt and responsible communication of all information of interest, always open to dialogue, UVT is a reliable partner for students and for the academic, socio-economic and cultural environments.

Honesty

Credibility and support of the truth are implicit human qualities in our academic community, along with the honesty and fairness shown in academic management, in research and artistic creation activities, in the didactic process, but also in everyday behavior.

Professionalism and excellence

We encourage the competent practice of scientific research, innovation, artistic creation, sports performance and education activities, respecting academic rigors, in order to be recognized by specialist communities, with the aim of achieving excellence.

Advanced knowledge and transdisciplinarity

We carry out scientific research, education and creation activities at the pace of the evolution of disciplines worldwide, ensuring the visibility of research results, with an emphasis on transdisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity.

Recognition of merit

We each have a role in the quality of future generations, and UVT values ​​the efforts of all its members impartially and fairly, ensuring equal reward and recognition of excellence.

Individual and public responsibility

The principle of fairness and university ethics defines us, taking full responsibility for our actions and their consequences, towards the students and partners of UVT, as well as towards the local, regional and international community.
