"These days, the UPB Rector, Mr. Mihnea Costoiu, attended the first meeting of the board of the association, held at Stratchlyde University in Glasgow, Scotland. The meeting focused on producing a Manifesto addressed to the European society, economic, political and social actors that underscore the need for universities to get involved in the mechanism of the evolution of society. Within this Manifesto, Rector Mihnea Costoiu proposed the initiation of a cost calculation exercise entailed by the education programmes STEAM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) at the national level.
