We are the ones who answer your questions when you need support.
On behalf of this team, I want, first of all, to thank the management of UPT for the trust and courage with which they put the students, teachers and the learning process in our hands.
Also, from the perspective of the person in front of the computer, I want to thank Professor Radu Vasiu, who coordinated my doctoral research and put me on this path of educational technology studies. Also, to the e-Learning Center, led by the director, Diana Andone, to all the colleagues in these research groups.
Last but not least, I want to thank the family for their patience with the sound of keys in the middle of the night."

About the UPT Excellence Awards Gala 2022
In the first century of its existence, the Timisoara Polytechnic has abundantly proven the defining role it had in the modern development of the city, the region and even the country, through its graduates, through the schools created here by teachers who, with dedication and professionalism, have inoculated to entire generations of students that spirit that King Ferdinand spoke of 100 years ago and a true cult of excellence, which continues today within the walls of the School. "Polytechnic of the new century", as it is today, one of the higher education institutions recognized nationally and internationally for the high level of education and research, would not be here without the recognition and support always given to excellence in teaching, research, in sport, culture or in the development of the relationship with the economic environment.
