Partners

We are always open to developing new partnerships as a prerequisite of unfolding interdisciplinary research. This can lead to stronger research networks and increased opportunities for knowledge sharing. Through dynamic collaboration, we aim at:

Many of today's research challenges are multifaceted and require expertise from various disciplines to fully understand and address them. Interdisciplinary research allows for a more holistic and comprehensive approach to problem-solving.

Combining different perspectives and methodologies can spark new ideas and lead to innovative solutions that might not emerge from a single discipline. Exposure to different ways of thinking can challenge existing assumptions and promote creativity.

Interdisciplinary research can lead to higher scientific impact. By addressing broader and more complex problems, interdisciplinary research often attracts more attention and generates more visibility.

Interdisciplinary teams can bring a wider range of expertise and methodological rigor to research projects. This can lead to more robust and reliable findings.

Interdisciplinary partnerships facilitate the integration of knowledge from different fields. This can lead to a deeper understanding of complex phenomena and the development of more comprehensive theories).

We consider prioritizing interdisciplinary research projects because of their potential to address complex problems and generate significant impact.

HRM METAVERSE CENTER​ has initiated an interdisciplinary collaboration with DT-GAI Lab, run by Dr. George Lazaroiu. DT-GAI Lab operates as a dynamic research team which includes well-known scholars in Romania: Dr. Elvira Nica and Dr. Gheorghe H. Popescu (Bucharest University of Economic Studies), Dr. Adrian Constantinescu (AAER), Dr. Luminița Ionescu (Spiru Haret University), and Dr. Aurel Pera and Dr. Raluca Balica (University of Craiova). Their main research areas cover artificial intelligence, technological disruption, neuroscience, smart cities, big data, decision-making, and sustainable development.
