Continuator and sole legatee by law of the Romanian Academy of Sciences, founded in 1935 by the great scientist, physician and Minister of Public Instruction Constantin Angelescu, together with a group of eminent  scientists, an academy which, although it was active only until 1948, when the communist regime abolished all the academies that existed in Romania, managed to gather in its sections  prestigious personalities of Romanian science, creators of scientific schools, but also honorary members from abroad, including 8  Nobel Prize winners.

After going through a series of metamorphoses and historical servitudes throughout the totalitarian regime, developing its activity in the form of the Association of Romanian Scientists, established by government decision in 1956, relaunched and consolidated after the fall of communism, under the leadership of its second founder, Prof. Vasile C\u00e2ndea, a pioneer of Romanian cardiovascular surgery, the Academy of Romanian Scientists is today a national forum of scientific consecration, an academic environment of science and knowledge<\/strong>. According to the institutional evaluation based on the international scientific visibility of its members, the Academy of Romanian Scientists ranks 22nd in Romania and 775th in the world in the prestigious Scimago\/Elsevier ranking<\/strong> of research and higher education institutions. On Romanian Academy<\/strong>President Badea stressed its undisputed status as Romania’s symbol-institution, as the supreme forum of Romanian culture, science, spirituality and civilization, with a decisive role in the country’s development<\/strong> and the collaborative relationship that should exist  between the two academies, stating that only members of the Romanian Academy are entitled to hold the title of “academician”.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

His Eminence Andrei Andreicut<\/strong> praised the profession of doctor with references to the Gospel text, in a substantial theological sermon, an essentially Christian plea for the special importance of this activity of high human vocation. Archbishop Claudiu-Lucian Pop<\/strong> praised the inspired choice of the Conference theme and the topicality of the topic, underlining the essential role of science in the pandemic period and in health in general. He also praised the huge effort made by scientists to solve the crises facing humanity today. Prof. Dr. Emil Boc<\/strong>, Mayor of Cluj-Napoca, praised UMF “Iuliu Ha\u021bieganu” as “the citadel of Transylvanian and Romanian medicine”, “the Harvard of Romanian medicine”<\/strong> and said that the knowledge-based economy is centered on universities. Therefore, in the perspective of the mayor, the University, as a resource of intelligence, talent and innovation, must be placed at the centre of the perspectives and developments of Cluj, a citadel of science, because it has science in the DNA of its existence. The Rector of the University, Prof. Dr. Anca Dana Buzoianu<\/strong>, said that science and research are today the most important lever to improve the standard of living, health, culture and wealth of a society. Sound economic, social and cultural development is not possible without a high-level, well-structured education system based on rigorous scientific research. The Rector gave a comprehensive portrait of Iuliu Ha\u021bieganu, the spiritual patron of the University, an illustrious internist, renowned in particular for his research in the field of tuberculosis, and presented in summary data UMF “Iuliu Ha\u021bieganu”, an institution of excellence and performance.

Acad. Doru Pamfil, <\/strong>the president of the Cluj branch of the Romanian Academy appreciated the value of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, “Alma Mater Napocensis”, and stressed that Cluj science is also making progress through the involvement of the Cluj branch of the Romanian Academy, which has the most members of the Academy (35), 11 research institutes, 350 researchers and a doctoral school. The looming food crisis will require urgent, rapid and sustainable solutions that science can provide. In this context, the Conference will only bring the two Academies closer together<\/strong>, said Academ. Pamfil, who proposed that joint meetings be held in the future<\/strong>, also taking into account the fact that some members of the Romanian Academy are also members of the Academy of Romanian Scientists or the Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences. “I believe that academies can also have a voice for Romanian science”,<\/strong> he concluded. Prof. Marius Boji\u021b\u0103<\/strong>, president of the Cluj-Napoca branch of AOSR and former rector of UMF “Iuliu Ha\u021bieganu”, directly involved in the organization of the Conference, addressed special thanks to the two universities, which supported the organization of the event, UMF and the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, the Transylvania Leaders Foundation and the Rotary Club, also involved in supporting the event, and spoke about the Rectors’ Club project together with the Cluj City Hall to make The “Alley of Cluj Universities” as an emblem of Cluj<\/strong>, since universities are the symbol of the Transylvanian metropolis<\/strong>. President Adrian Badea presented Prof. Dr. Marius Boji\u021b\u0103 with a Jubilee Diploma and Gold Medal<\/strong> of the AOSR, <\/strong> as a tribute to all his scientific and academic activity on his 80th birthday. The opening speeches were followed by a cultural moment<\/strong> performed by the Anatholis<\/em> ensemble and the poet Horia B\u0103descu under the title “The music of poetry and the poetry of music”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are glad that we manage to focus the energies of Romanian intelligence and involve science in addressing and solving the crises of the contemporary world, crises that cover vital areas of our existence, at European and global level. It is a great joy that this Conference has proved, from the very beginning, through the participation of the Romanian Academy and other branch Academies, to be a comprehensive forum of the Romanian academic movement<\/strong>, in which education, science and research of the highest level had the first and last word. The hallmark of this event, which proved to be a major scientific success, was academic excellence and synergy<\/strong>. It is under their auspices that we will design our entire institutional development from now on. We thank the Romanian Academy, the Cluj branch of the Academy of Romanian Scientists, the University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Iuliu Ha\u021bieganu”, the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, the officials and all participants for this elite scientific event!”<\/em><\/p>\n
