The Euroregional Center for Democracy and the Academy of Advocacy will organize the conference "Transparency and Integrity in Higher Education" on Thursday, May 25, 2006 at 10am. The event will take place at Casa Tineretului, Arieș St. no 19, room 103-105.
The main goal of the conference is to present the results from the poll realized by Metro Media Transilvania on the theme of corruption in the academic institutions, at the level of the four state-funded public universities from Timișoara University Center: West University, Politehnica University, University of Agricultural Sciences of Banat and University of Medical Sciences and Pharmacy "Victor Babeș".
The objectives of the poll were to know the real dimension of corruption in Timișoara University Center, its forms, mechanisms of starting and consequences. The activities that will be carried out within this innitiative aim at ensuring transparency in higher education by improving the existing paths of information, and creating a common plan to prevent acts of corruption. The working teams are formed of students, professors and representatives of student and youth non-governmental organisations.
This innitiative is part of the project "Transparency and Integrity in Higher Education - A Program to Develop a Coalition of Non-governmental Organisations to Prevent Corruption", implemented with the financial support of the European Union through Phare 2003 Program Strengthening Civil Society in Romania.
