Claudiu Albulescu gives an interview about his involvement in E³UDRES²

How did you first get involved with E³UDRES²?

I was nominated by UPT as the Task Force Leader in 'Regional Innovation Hubs' during the first stage of the E³UDRES² initiative, being responsible for organizing Hackathons, Bootcamps, and E³UDRES² iResidencies.

How has your career benefited since becoming a part of the E³UDRES² community?

I have discovered new teaching methods and new ways of approaching the students. Being a member of the E³UDRES² community has also helped me to increase my visibility at an institutional level and to better understand UPT's development strategies.

Is there a valuable experience you had in E³UDRES² that you would like to share with us?

I have enjoyed coordinating the students during the 1st E³UDRES² Bootcamp – “The New Sustainable Future Campus,” held in St. Jakob in Defereggen, Austria, from 04-08 July 2022.

What are your hopes for the future with E³UDRES² as a researcher?

I have been recently involved in a pilot E³UDRES² research center of excellence for “Business Modeling for Managing Sustainability in a Circular and Climate Neutral Economy: Creating opportunities for Smart and Sustainable Regions.” Although the proposed research subjects are only indirectly related to my research interests, I hope I can contribute to achieving the project’s objectives.
