  Academic cooperation between Romania 
  and Moldova. Enhancing the European 
  Union Association Agreement through 
  human capital development (Workshop | 
  20-21 May 2022)
  
  
 
  Rationale
  Given the current circumstances, which generate 
  widespread instability, the event aims to 
  strengthen the academic partnerships between 
  Romania and the Republic of Moldova, in order to 
  stimulate cross-border cooperation. 
  In brief, the purpose of this workshop is, on the 
  one hand, to develop a synergy between different 
  educational institutions and, on the other hand, 
  to create an appropriate framework for the 
  submission of joint projects, funded by the 
  European Union, to reduce border effects.
  The participants in this event will deepen and 
  disseminate knowledge about the role of the 
  European Union as a global player and will bring 
  to the fore issues related to European values, the 
  integration process and its implications, funding 
  opportunities to support human capital, 
  programs and policies in the educational field, 
  etc.
