USV Vice-Rector Ștefan PURICI, in the context of the launch of the CAPDR Cross-Border Cooperation Center – Ștefănești: “Cross-border projects can be implemented more effectively when partners come with different experiences, different needs, and different priorities”

The Vice-Rector of “Ștefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, Ștefan Purici, emphasized the importance of international partnerships for the success of cross-border projects:

“Cross-border projects, whether bilateral or trilateral, can be implemented more effectively when partners bring different experiences, different necessities, and different needs. This symbiosis between needs and funding sources ensures that cooperation among the three countries delivers significant benefits to local communities.”

He highlighted the role of local authorities and NGOs in transforming publicly discussed ideas into concrete projects capable of generating tangible results:

“The presence of representatives of local authorities, NGOs, or public administrations ensures that ideas circulated in the public sphere are subsequently transformed into projects that generate positive outcomes for the three countries and for the entire region, contributing to an increased level of prosperity and regional development.”

With a view to strengthening academic and institutional collaboration, Vice-Rector Purici announced that the USV Botoșani University Center will acquire legal personality, facilitating direct participation in partnerships with the Republic of Moldova within the Romania–Republic of Moldova funding program:

“Certainly, the Botoșani University Center of ‘Ștefan cel Mare’ University of Suceava will acquire legal personality, and through this, we will be able to participate directly in partnerships with the Republic of Moldova within the Romania–Republic of Moldova funding program.”
