A Successful Interuniversity Exchange Between Timișoara and Turin

At the end of November 2024, the Center for Romance Studies of Timișoara (CSRT), affiliated with the West University of Timișoara (UOT), organized, through its literary circle La Pléiade, an interuniversity exchange activity in partnership with the University of Turin (UniTo), Department of Humanities.

Financé par le Ministère roumain de l’Éducation dans le cadre du programme FSS International Student – Next Step in Education, ce projet poursuivait deux principaux objectifs : d’une part, renforcer la collaboration éducative et scientifique entre les deux universités par l’échange de méthodes pédagogiques innovantes dans l’enseignement supérieur ; d’autre part, promouvoir l’internationalisation des activités impliquant des étudiants de licence, de master et de doctorat.

Le groupe d’étudiants de l’UOT, coordonné par les professeurs Ramona Malita et Claudiu Gherasim, a participé à une série d’activités enrichissantes organisées par leurs collègues italiens, les professeurs Paola Cifarelli et Monica Pavesio, à Turin.

Une semaine riche en activités

La semaine du 18 au 23 novembre 2024 s’est révélée particulièrement fructueuse, avec :

  • des conférences sur la littérature française médiévale et l’étude des enluminures ;
  • des conférences sur la littérature française de l’Âge d’or et du XXe siècle ;
  • une rencontre doctorale, organisée dans le cadre d’un accord de cotutelle entre UniTo et l’UOT en philologie ;
  • une visite guidée et un atelier sur les enluminures de Christine de Pizan, organisés en collaboration avec la Bibliothèque nationale de Turin.

La rencontre doctorale a confirmé le solide partenariat avec l’École doctorale de Turin dans le domaine des sciences humaines. Une thèse sur la littérature française contemporaine (doctorant : Claudiu Gherasim) est actuellement co-dirigée par Ramona Malita et Paola Cifarelli, avec le soutien de Monica Pavesio.

Un accueil chaleureux et des perspectives prometteuses

L’équipe de Timișoara a été chaleureusement accueillie par les professeurs Marcella Costa et Alessandro Mengozzi, directeurs des départements des langues modernes et des sciences humaines à l’UniTo, respectivement. Tous deux ont exprimé leur appréciation pour cette initiative et leur espoir de voir des projets similaires prospérer à l’avenir. Ils ont souligné comment de tels échanges renforcent la visibilité internationale des deux universités et du consortium universitaire européen UNITA auquel elles appartiennent.

Cet échange constitue un exemple réussi de coopération interuniversitaire, démontrant comment l’éducation et la recherche peuvent prospérer grâce à des collaborations internationales innovantes.
