Financial intelligence and sustainable development – academic dialogue at FCIM
Within the course “Human Security and Sustainable Development,” taught by Daniela Pojar, Vice-Rector for Finance and International Relations at TUM, students of the Faculty of Computers, Informatics and Microelectronics participated in an academic activity featuring a special guest – Andrii Glevatskyi, Vice President of MAIB.
The presentation, entitled “Empowering Growth Through Financial Intelligence,” provided an integrated perspective on the role of financial education in economic and professional development. Structured around several key areas – an overview of MAIB, fundamental concepts of financial literacy, strategic priorities, and case studies – the session highlighted the importance of an informed and responsible approach to managing financial resources.
During the activity, key concepts were addressed, including the pillars of financial literacy (income, spending, saving, borrowing, and investing), its role in achieving personal and professional goals, as well as the importance of informational hygiene in preventing financial risks. At the same time, current trends in the banking sector were presented, with a focus on digitalization, the use of artificial intelligence, and the enhancement of customer experience through innovative financial solutions.
A significant aspect of the presentation was the staged model of financial literacy, illustrated through the process from awareness and decision-making to client growth and retention, emphasizing how financial competencies contribute to the sustainable development of both the business environment and society.
The activity provided students with a practical perspective on the interdependence between human security, economic stability, and financial competencies, contributing to the strengthening of their professional training and the development of critical thinking in relation to contemporary challenges.
The Faculty expresses its appreciation for the valuable contribution to the educational process and for the openness toward academic–practical dialogue.

FCIM students discover NLP applications in a lesson held by a guest researcher
Students of the Applied Informatics specialty at the Faculty of Computers, Informatics and Microelectronics (FCIM), Technical University of Moldova, had the opportunity to participate in a lesson on Computational Linguistics held by Ludmila Burțeva, a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics “Vladimir Andrunachievici” in Chișinău. During the presentation, current topics in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) were addressed, presenting results and research directions from her scientific activity.
One of the topics of interest concerned the digitization of old Romanian texts, including historical documents written in old Cyrillic, a process that involves modern methods of automatic text recognition and processing. The role of synthetic data generation in developing and training artificial intelligence models when real data sets are limited was also highlighted.
The activity was organized under the guidance of Ms. Braniște Rodica, offering students the opportunity to discover practical applications of NLP technologies in text analysis, intelligent systems development and contemporary research in the field of artificial intelligence.
The Applied Computer Science specialty at FCIM places a special emphasis on natural language processing, an essential area of artificial intelligence that allows computer systems to understand, analyze and generate human language. NLP technologies are the basis of modern digital tools widely used for machine translation, intelligent search, voice interaction with computer systems, sentiment analysis or chatbot development.
By studying these technologies, students acquire relevant skills in textual data analysis, language modeling and application development based on artificial intelligence, skills that are increasingly in demand in fields such as IT, fintech, digital media, education and research.
We thank Ms. Ludmila Burțeva for her captivating presentation and for sharing her research experience with our students. Such activities contribute to strengthening the connection between academia and scientific research, stimulating interest in emerging areas of computer science.
Beyond borders, closer to oneself: Erasmus+ mobility of student Liviu Mereacre in Estonia
For Liviu Mereacre, a student of the Faculty of Computer, Informatics and Microelectronics, the “Information Security” study program, the Erasmus+ academic mobility in Estonia meant much more than a simple study internship. It was a transformative experience, a journey of self-discovery, of overcoming limits and of building a new perspective on the world and on his own career.
The mobility internship at Tallinn University of Technology harmoniously combined academic rigor with the freedom of cultural exploration and the challenges of personal development. The Estonian university environment, oriented towards autonomy, innovation and critical thinking, led Liviu to fully exploit his potential. Among the notable academic achievements is the development of his first programming language – an important step in his professional maturation and a proof of the skills consolidated during the mobility.
Beyond the classroom, the Erasmus+ experience was a true cultural immersion. Liviu discovered authentic Estonia – from traditional markets and concerts by local artists, to celebrating New Year’s Eve in Tallinn’s Freedom Square, alongside people from all over the world. His desire to explore also took him to other corners of Northern Europe, where he visited symbolic places such as the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania or the Republic of Užupis, each with its own story, identity and energy.
The highlight of the mobility was, without a doubt, the trip to Lapland (Sápmi) – an almost surreal experience. Here, Liviu saw the Northern Lights for the first time, a natural spectacle that gave him a lesson in humility and admiration for nature. The Arctic adventures continued with visits to Santa Claus Village, snowmobile rides to the border of the three countries, ice fishing and the experience of a traditional sauna near the fjords. All of this deeply connected him to nature and redefined his perception of extremes and their beauty.
Equally valuable was the social dimension of mobility. The activities carried out alongside international students – karaoke nights, pub crawls, board games and late-night discussions about cultures, values and dreams – contributed to the development of communication skills, adaptability and intercultural openness. Each meeting became a lesson in diversity and a bridge between different worlds.
Liviu Mereacre believes that the Erasmus+ mobility in Estonia gave him not only academic knowledge, but also the courage to explore the unknown, confidence in his own strengths and a broader perspective on life. It is an experience that shapes characters, opens horizons and creates memories that last forever. With enthusiasm and conviction, Liviu encourages every student to take advantage of this unique opportunity – because Erasmus+ is not just about studying abroad, but about personal and professional development in a world without borders.
