Generations Connected through Cybernetics and Statistics

A celebration of excellence, shared roots, and professional journeys - April 10, 2025

The event "Generations connected through Cybernetics and Statistics", held on April 10, 2025, was a true celebration of excellence, common roots, and professional paths that originate in the same institution - the Faculty of Cybernetics, Statistics and Economic Informatics, known today as the Faculty of Information Technologies and Economic Statistics (TISE).

The meeting was organized with the involvement of the ASEM Students' and Master's Trade Union Committee, the TISE Faculty, and the IT4BA (Innovative Technologies for Business Application) Innovation Incubator, bringing together students, professors, and graduates from various generations. They sincerely and emotionally shared memories of their beginnings, the challenges they faced in their careers, and the formative role of the faculty in their professional development.

A Dynamic and Inspiring Meeting

The event was moderated by Maria-Beatricie Grunzu, a first-year student at the TISE Faculty, group CIB-241, ASEM, who brought a dynamic and professional tone to the entire meeting.

The official opening was honored by First Vice-Rector Angela Casian, who addressed an inspiring and encouraging message to the young people present, emphasizing the importance of generational continuity, active involvement, and the value of ASEM’s academic tradition in the context of new digital realities.

Networking and Dialogue between Generations
