Dear friends,

We are passing through difficult and interesting period when this new situation make us rethink our priorities and our way of life.

The changements also affect the education at all levels: from secondary school to the programs of advanced studies. All the institutions are forced to rethink not only the teaching methods but especially the proposed specializations.

It is important that the education does not lose its value. On the contrary, the education and knowledge are still (or become) one of the best investments in the post Coronavirus era, as it was stressed by the OECD in its Economic Outlook in June 2020.
