International Conference TIMTED 2014

Timisoara is the third largest city in Romania and the most important

city in the Western region of the country. The city is settled on the Bega River

and it offers a vibrant cultural life. Frequently referred to as “Little Vienna”

Timisoara hosts musical and theatrical performances all year-round, a large

number of art galleries and museums, and a buzzing nightlife. A cosmopolitan

city, Timisoara shows the influence of Turkish, Austrians, Germans or Serbians,

who left their mark on different neighborhoods throughout the city. Timisoara

was the first city in Europe and second in the world, after New York, to use

electricity to illuminate its public streets.

If you travel by plane, the city has the third largest airport in Romania,

Traian Vuia International Airport, located 10 km from the city center. Regular

flights from/to the major European and domestic destinations are available (for

example, Barcelona, Bergamo, Bucharest, Dortmund, Forli, London, Madrid,

Milano, Munich, Paris, Rome, Stuttgart, Valencia).

If you prefer the train, there are direct trains daily from Budapest (5

hours), Belgrade (4 hours), Vienna (8 hours) and Munich (15 hours). Numerous

trains are available to Bucharest and most Romanian cities.

Numerous hotels are available in the neighbourhood of the conference

venue (Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Timisoara). Some of

them are EURO Hotel, NH Hotel or Timisoara Hotel.

Social Programme

We are happy to announce you that the social

programme is already scheduled and it will take place on Friday

evening and Saturday (13-14 June 2014). We will spend the night

in Orsova. Orsova is a port city on the Danube river, located in

the south-western region of Romania. It is situated just above

the Iron Gates, on the spot where the Cerna River meets the

Danube. On Friday, a traditional Romanian evening will be

organized, allowing our participants to network and develop new

relationships. On Saturday, a cruise on Danube will offer the

chance to explore and see the Dubova Golf, the statue of

Decebalus, the king of Dacia, Tabula Traiana, a Roman memorial

plaque, the Iron Gates, which separate Romania from Serbia, or

the Tricule Fortress, built in the XVth

century to stop the Otoman

expansion to west. We will have lunch on the boat and return to

Timisoara on Saturday evening.

An additional fee of €30/participant will be charged for

the social programme (the fee will be paid at the conference

desk). The social programme is optional. The fee covers the trip

from Timisoara to Orsova and back, the traditional Romanian

evening, the Danube cruise and the lunch on the boat. The

accommodation in Orsova will be provided by the Meridian

Hotel, for a reduced price of €20/night/person (double room) or

€40/night/person (single room) paid separately, by every

participant who wants to attend the social programme.


Last year, TIMTED 2013 took place between the 6th

and the 8th

of June, at

the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Timisoara. The conference

gathered participants from 10 countries and they were affiliated to more than 20

different universities. Nine parallel sessions were organized, focusing on certain

topics such as corporate finance, capital markets, development and emerging

countries etc. The invited keynote speakers were Francesco Forte (Professor

Emeritus of Sapienza University of Rome, Italy), Gareth Myles (Professor of

Economics at University of Exeter, United Kingdom), Jesus Lopez-Rodriguez

(Associate Professor at University of A Coruna, Spain) and Liliana Harding

(Lecturer, East Anglia University, United Kingdom)

The participants had the opportunity to exchange and debate ideas during

the plenary sessions and coffee breaks, at the reception dinner held on the first

night, at the Academic Networking Event held on Friday, and during the Danube

Cruise held on Saturday. The environment created offered on one hand high

quality scientific discussions and on the other hand a relaxed and pleasant

atmosphere, which helped establish close relationships and future research

partnerships.


We hope that you find great value in our conference and we look forward to meeting you in Timisoara, on the 12th of June, at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration.
