The conference is organized around 7 thematic areas:
section 1: Synergies in LINGUISTICS, business AND (INTER)CULTURAL communication. ( online )
Communication is a synergistic field where effectiveness is given by knowledge from diverse domains and by the ability to align best practice with the increasingly rapid pace of the world today. Moreover, today, universities face the challenge of meeting their dual role as institutions of culture and higher education as well as providers of knowledgeable, flexible, autonomous and self-determined graduates for the labour market. This section of our conference welcomes discussions on topics related to the following main areas:

section 3: Romanian cultural and linguistic studies ( Online )
Romanian academia play an important role in building bridges between values, traditions and representations attached to Romania and to other cultural areas - in Europe or worldwide. We propose to focus on the presence of Romanian culture in other countries, to strengthening connections between Romania and other cultures, to the teaching of Romanian culture and language to foreigners in Romania and abroad, with a view to using such cultural and linguistic knowledge in a multicultural context. Papers are invited on, but not limited to topics such as:

section 4: BOUNDARY TRANSGRESSIONS IN BETWEEN EAST AND WEST ( hybrid )
Transgression has become a reality of our times, encoded in various modes of interconnectedness afforded by this age. Whether at home or abroad, the inherent transcendence of (trans)cultural dynamics intersects with transgressive mechanisms that facilitate the contestation of hegemonic discourses. One the one hand, the idea of transgression carries geographical connotations, given its literal significance of crossing a boundary. On the other hand, at a symbolic level, the crossing of a threshold marks a step to an out of place status that contains potential for resistance within the confines of a single culture. Transgression dissolves ossified structures and patterns, revealing novel perspectives. This opens towards a fruitful interpretation of its labyrinthic nature along various lines of analysis: postcolonial, Foucauldian, or Bakhtinian, to name a few only. An important coordinate of the proposed analysis considers the relation between settlement/mobility, space and gender, questioning the subversive potential of women’s rootedness vs. motion. Given this context, we invite contributions related, but not limited to:
Email: [email protected]
section 5: Mindscapes and Cultural Insights in Far Eastern Studies ( online )
Focusing mainly on Far Eastern Studies, spanning from China and Korea to Japan, this section is designed not only as a debating venue on tradition, cultural representations, and academic challenges in a volatile contemporary context, but also as an interdisciplinary nexus for specialists willing to share their new ideas, research results, and latest in-depth scholarship on various topics such as:
Email: [email protected]
section 6: MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES TO THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE ( online )
What does it mean for each of us to be a human being? How do we perceive ourselves? How do we perceive others? What makes us act in a certain way? How do we relate to the people around us or to the context in which we live? This section of the conference tries to find the answer to all these simple, yet puzzling questions that touch all the intricacies, contradictions and mysteries of life. The panel intends to be a celebration of the human experience, with all its complexities, thrills and wonders. We welcome submissions that explore all aspects of this topic from various academic fields: literature, religion, culture, arts and media, psychology, pedagogy, etc. The themes for the session include, but are not limited to the following suggestions:
Email: [email protected]
SECTION 7: Migration, Diaspora(s), and Refugees ( online )
Migration, either in theory or in practice, and its sub-fields, diasporas and refugees, are by no means a domain of the past. In 2020, according to the International Organization for Migration , the number of migrants reached 280 million people, representing 3.60% of the world population and figures are on the rise. If migration has been seen as a phenomenon that involves a political act due to the individuals’ and communities’ personal or national affiliations, therefore portrayed moreover as a cause that triggers consequences post migration, it is more frequently seen these days as a consequence of conflictual, aggressive and even confusing politics. We expect participants to contribute with academic papers, posters, and other kinds of visuals that illustrate international migration, migrant integration, managed migration, asylum, family migration, children migration, and (temporary) protection. This interdisciplinary panel includes:
• Economics
• Politics
• Legal Studies
• Sociology
• Anthropology
• Literature Studies
• Film Studies
