The Information Society / Knowledge Society is a reality all around us, challenging and forcing us to adapt our personal and professional existence to new demands.
The European Strategy for the Information Society launched by Ursula von der Leyen in March 2021 outlines the European Information and Communication Technology (ICT) road that Romania will have to follow together with the other European countries.
The Academy of Romanian Scientists, promoter of innovative ideas based on science and knowledge, includes in its priority programmes the theme “Digital transformation of society”.
The programme “Digital Transformation of Society”, through its debates, position papers, the projects it has launched and funded and the projects it will launch in the future, will contribute to the implementation of national strategies and programmes, of Romania’s major projects in this field.
The Academy of Romanian Scientists will promote new concepts and practices of the knowledge-based society among young people and beyond, both in education and research and in culture and economy, thus trying to create and sustain new mindsets and skills specific to the 21st century.
“The Valences of Femininity”, a project of the Academy of Romanian Scientists, is a series of conferences dedicated to women and their status in today’s world. Under the aegis of the founding principles and values of contemporary humanism, the conferences promote the fundamental role of women in today’s and tomorrow’s society.
The conceptual approaches are accompanied by success stories of women who have achieved success in their fields and can thus serve as benchmarks, role models and sources of inspiration.
Conferences are given by personalities from science, research, education, culture, business, personal development, etc. in an elite setting of dialogue and exchange of ideas.
The “Valences of Femininity” Conferences, held at academic level, are a plea for value and merit, for education, respect, fairness and empathy, for the communion of ideas and aspirations and social harmony, in a vision of European essence, open to the future.
Through its founding vocation and institutional mission, in the continuity of a history of almost a century (founded in March 1935 as the Romanian Academy of Sciences), fully anchored in today’s world, the Academy of Romanian Scientists subordinates its entire scientific activity and creative energy to the strategic objective of participating with all its resources in the progress of Romanian society and the development of Romania through education, science and knowledge.
The AOSR is programmatically at the heart of society, responsive to societal demands and aspirations, processes of change and socio-economic developments. In the spirit of this vision and mission, the AOSR is an open institution, which is involved in the process of modernizing society by promoting education and knowledge, the values of the spirit and morality, the principles of contemporary humanism.
Through its programmes and projects, AOSR puts into practice its vocation to create human and institutional synergies and to build for the present and the future.

He was director of several grants (CNCSIS, PN II) that facilitated the organization of an echocardiography laboratory at European standards and the pursuit of original hypotheses.
Scientific contributions: initiated original research that marked the interpretation of physiological processes/diseases: electron microscopic study of platelets in acute coronary syndromes; use of radionuclide techniques for the evaluation of patients with ischaemic heart disease and congenital heart disease; clinical and paraclinical research on myocardial infarction with permeable coronaries (including its mechanical complications); study of the Coanda effect in colour Doppler echocardiography; first large-scale work in Romania on fibrinolytic treatment in acute myocardial infarction; first descriptions of cases of myocardial noncompaction; patented invention (together with prof. C. Carp); external pacemaker triggered by cardiac massage, study of ventricular torsion/detorsion by modern echocardiographic techniques.

Sincere condolences to the family! God rest her soul!
The Academy of Romanian Scientists, through the Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research “Constantin Angelescu” (ICAI), together with the institutional partners “Carol I” Central University Library, the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics ICI Bucharest, the National Museum of Romanian Literature, the “George Barițiu” County Library of Brasov, the “Carol I” University Foundation and the DigiLib Muscel Association organized the 14th edition of the international symposium “Slove muscelene” with theme “Digital transformation of institutions in culture and education“, of which COMUNICAȚII Mobile Magazine is media partner.
The symposium “Slove muscelene”, initiated and organized by Prof. univ. dr. eng. Doina Banciu(Vice President of AOSR and Director General of ICAI) in 2009, has been held, since its debut, in Câmpulung Muscel, with the support of local authorities, and since 2021 in hybrid format, in the Aula of the Central University Library “Carol I” in Bucharest, this year benefiting from the online presence of several personalities from the country and abroad, guests from France, Croatia, Cyprus and Sweden.
Digital Transformation, between technology and human resources management
The official opening of the symposium took place on Thursday, 14 July 2022, at 10.00 am, in the Aula of the Central University Library “Carol I” in Bucharest, in the presence of academics, university professors, researchers, historians, directors of major libraries, who stressed the importance of Digital Transformation and analyzed the means to achieve it in Romania.
Ms Doina Banciu, Vice President of AOSR and Director General of ICAI, in her triple role as host, moderator and organiser, wanted to encourage specialists, researchers and younger people entering the multidisciplinary field of Digital Transformation to pay more attention to the management of human resources in this particularly challenging issue. As the human factor plays an important role in the success of digital transformation processes, public administration authorities, as well as the legislative power, together with academia and the private sector, must define a new social pact that places people at the heart of Digital Transformation. Digital Transformation needs to be understood and applied as a strategic component of human factor transformation management in organisations, first and foremost, and then as a technological, ICT component.
During the debates of the symposium “Slove muscelene” participated physically and online Miss Simona Bucura-Oprescu – MP, Chair of the Committee for Public Administration and Spatial Planning, Romanian Parliament, Mr. Dragoș Cristian Vlad – President, Authority for the Digitization of Romania, Prof. univ. dr. ing Tudor Prisecaru – Secretary of State, Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitization, Academician Florin Gheorghe Filip – Romanian Academy, Prof. univ. dr. ing. Dumitru Popescu – President of the Information Science and Technology Section, Academy of Romanian Scientists, as well as officials from the Prefecture of Argeș, and other leading specialists.
AOSR President, Mr. Adrian Badea appreciated the importance of the initiative of Vice President Doina Banciu, who has dedicated no less than 14 years to a cultural event that started in Câmpulung Muscel and has become today an event with international reverberations, training professionals from several countries passionate about the phenomenon of Digital Transformation. President Badea reinforced the idea that AOSR is at the forefront of these paradigm shifts in the world of science and culture in Romania, as the work of the Academy he coordinates is focused on promoting the latest ideas in these areas of research and innovation. Moreover, AOSR has a special program dedicated to Digital Transformation, and this International Symposium is an integral part of AOSR’s vision of developing in the coming years the acceleration of the digitalization phenomenon in all fields of Romanian society.
