On Monday, March 16, 2026, at the “Benone Pușcă” University Library, the bilingual poetry volume Spirit Liber / Liberated Spirit by Bristena Georgiana Mantu was launched. The event, organized by the Department of Library, Publishing, and Knowledge Management, was part of a series of cultural initiatives aimed at promoting contemporary literary creation and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between the academic sphere and the artistic domain.

The invited speakers, including literary critic Adrian George Secară, poet and editor Sterian Vicol, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alina Beatrice Cheșcă, Daniela Gumann, and writer-editor Claudiu-Gilian Chircu, explored both the aesthetic and thematic dimensions of the volume, analyzing the particularities of its bilingual Romanian–English poetic expression. Emphasis was placed on how translation and dual-language presentation facilitate the circulation of ideas and lyrical sensibility across cultural boundaries. The event concluded with a poetry recital by actor Vasile Dănilă, which highlighted the expressive potential of the poetic text through stage interpretation, providing the gathering with an authentic and interactive artistic dimension.

The webinar delivered on Friday, 13 March, by Dr. Paulina E. Wilson (Senior Lecturer in Law, Queen’s University Belfast) enjoyed great success, bringing together more than 55 participants – colleagues, students, researchers, and professionals interested in the contemporary developments of legal education.

The event, moderated by Dr. Cristina Elena Popa Tache, Dean of the Faculty of Law and International Governance, provided a rigorous academic analysis of the transformations brought about by digital communication and by new teaching methods in the field of law, from a comparative perspective.

A strong point of the meeting was the discussion on immersive education in law schools (and beyond), highlighting its potential to transform the learning process through simulations, interactive experiences, and pedagogical methods that bring students closer to the reality of legal practice.

The discussions were particularly substantial, and the Q&A session highlighted the strong interest of the academic community in these topics.

We thank Dr. Paulina E. Wilson for this remarkable intervention and all participants for their contribution to dynamic and high-quality academic debates.
