The 3 days of the event “Acces la literatura științifică” were remarkable and we want to share special thanks to our speakers, panelists, participants, partners and everyone who supported the success of our 5th edition!
Along with the inspiring experiences and knowledge which were spread during the Romanian International Conference for Research and Education, we also had debates with the audience`s participation. We think that our new collaborations and projects will bring even more alternatives and real solutions to the existing limitations of the Romanian Research and Education System and discussion subjects for the next editions!
Stay tuned for more #enformation!

About
Organized by Enformation
“Acces la literatura științifică” is an annual event organised by Enformation aiming at bringing together people from the Research and Education sectors to create new collaboration opportunities within the academic field. We encourage our speakers to share their successful experiences to show that resourcefulness comes from a well educated and guided passion.
The 5th Edition
The 5th edition of the conference provides students, PhDs, teachers, librarians and researchers with the ideal environment to share ideas, address various issues and find solutions.
The three-day event includes plenary sessions and workshops designed to reveal research trends, new education methods and innovative solutions.
350+ Participants
More than 350 participants attended our event in 2016: representatives of 21 International Publishing Houses, professors and members of the Academia, but also researchers, librarians, students and business organizations from Romania and abroad interested in the topics we proposed during last year’s edition of “Acces la literatura științifică”.
Why is our event relevant
Publishers` Day
International Publishers` Day is dedicated to all people interested in academic writing and publishing. With our well known partners` help, during practical workshops you have the chance to find out firsthand about the latest tools designed to ease the research process, the newest functionalities available for librarians and the tips & trick of their online platforms.
Research Day
We believe that research is a fundamental activity for the development of a country. But this seems an idealistic idea in Romania, mainly because of limited resources. However, there are people who dedicate their time and knowledge to in-depth study and new discoveries. During the conference, you will meet some of the Romanian researchers who are living proof that performance can be achieved in Romania, too.
Education Day
Education is the key to a better civilization and economic growth. Last but not least, the plenary sessions will present topics like copyright policy and academic integrity, alternative methods in teaching and learning or the importance of resourcefulness. You will feel inspired by our guests, who are determined to find solutions where others see only problems.
