Professor William B. Harvey, Rector of “Danubius” University met Danubian students’ representatives, at the beginning of the new academic year, to initiate a new project: “Students are our Business”. The initiative implies free discussions among Rector and students in order to launch new projects on upgrading the services and offering new benefices for all those enrolled: students, graduates, other trainees etc. Rector William B. Harvey underlined for the young audience the fact that it is of great importance for them to become examples for each other and advised them to be as receptive as possible to any kind of change they encounter, also saying that “change is a pillar in life”.

“Students are our Business” is a complex endeavor that involves students and graduates from all the faculties in order to provide everyone with the best academic and accommodation services.  

Recently, at De Gruyter (Berlin/Boston) - publishing house of international prestige, the volume Eugenio Coseriu. Past, Present and Future, taken care by Professors Klaas Willems (Gent University, Belgium) and Cristinel Munteanu („Danubius” University of Galați, Romania) was issued. https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110712391/html

The publishing of this volume was occasioned by the centennial of the Romanian scientist’s Eugeniu Coșeriu (1921-2002) birth, well-known theoretician and philosopher of language. It’s the first collective volume written ad integrum in English within which more renowned specialists (Jürgen Trabant, Jörn Albrecht, Wolf Dietrich, Ana Agud, Johannes Kabatek, Pierre Swiggers et alii) present a variety of points of view regarding Coșeriu’s scientific work, looking into its continuous relevance for the sciences of language.    

This volume aims at enhancing researchers’ preoccupied with language and communication interest for Eugeniu Coșeriu’s linguistic theory, a theory coherently and unitary developed having as departure point “the activity of talking”. Contributors’ articles are grouped into three overreaching themes: (1) the philosophy of language, (2) the history of the science of language and (3) the theory and the practice of “comprehensive linguistics”.
