Commemoration of the distinguished Professors Virgil Madgearu and Nicolae Iorga

The Association of Faculties of Economics in Romania (AFER) and the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE) organized on November 27, 2015, in the beautiful historical “Virgil Madgearu” Hall, a commemorative Round Table – from the “Our Professors” cycle – on the occasion of celebrating 75 years since the assassination of the great personalities Virgil Madgearu and Nicolae Iorga, Professors at the Academy of High Commercial and Industrial Studies (AISCI), today the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE). It is our duty to mention that (before the round table) ASE’s and AFER’s representatives laid wreaths at the burial places of the distinguished commemorated personalities.

The Round Table discussions (within the true focus event) were lively, exploring the life and legacy of the commemorated prominent personalities and allowing the clarification of questions and concerns. Let us mention some qualitative contributions of the participants in the Round Table debate: Constantin Rosca, Ion Vorovenci, Robert Sova, Razvan Zaharia, Dumitru Miron, Theodor Purcarea, Tudor Hobeanu, Gheorghe Lutac, Grigore Pirosca, Catalin Huidumac, Mihail Opritescu, Ioan Todea, Valerica Olteanu, Octavian Oprica. It is also worth mentioning that students felt also comfortable to ask questions and challenge issues, and that at the end of the meeting main points were drawn together.
