Senior Lecturer Călin Rangu, Dean of the Economic Sciences and Business Administration Faculty, “Danubius” University, will deliver a presentation during the 23^rd edition of the “RSEP International Economics, Finance & Business Conference”, scheduled to take place on the 25^th and 26^th of November.   

The presentation entitled “Considerations on Digital Financial Ecosystem” is based on a homonymous article about which Călin Rangu told us the following:

“Firstly, this paper is aimed at presenting the components of a digital financial ecosystem, secondly – at presenting a couple of business and services models and thirdly – at discussing the evolution factors and involved risks. As a consequence, our study wants to identify domains prone to improve the already existing framework and to formulate proposals of adapting to new technologies. The research instrument is a complex survey used to reflect respondents’ opinions regarding the research topic. The digital financial ecosystem generated a new concept, that of  digital liquidity, with the purpose to support the business environment in terms of maintaining financial stability, integrating financial systems and remodeling the concept of economic benefits in a time unit. The business models designed by the interconnected partners are needed as response to users’ needs. The suppliers, the banks, the insurers, the investments or pension funds, the licensed institutions or the ones without license should create and distribute their products and services in a digital format. For products and services to reach the beneficiaries infrastructures, regulations and dedicated policies are needed to guarantee accessibility at reasonable costs. A digital ecosystem must facilitate interaction in a high security environment”.

Gabriela Marchis, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Coordinator of the European Documentation Centre “EuroInfoGhid” at “Danubius University of Galati” had recently the privilege to be a special online guest within one of Dr. Cynthia Duncan Joseph’s (Director of Freshman College, “Claflin” University, South Carolina, U.S.A.) courses.

The two of them met on the occasion of the international conference “Two Democratic Societies in Transition: The Dynamics of a Post-COVID World” hosted by “Danubius University of Galați” between the 13^th  and 15^th of September, when Dr. Duncan Joseph invited Dr. Marchis to talk to her American students about European politics in general and E.U. in globalized society, in particular, during a Political Science Globalization class.

Dr. Marchis prepared an insightful and entertaining presentation under the overreaching title “Global Dynamics and Regional Transformation” which she delivered to the American students, most of them juniors, sociology and political science majors. As a follow-up, the young participants were asked to write a few testimonials about this enlightening experience (you can find two of them below). Moreover, Dr. Marchis sent to them a virtual gift, on behalf of the European Documentation Centre “EuroInfoGhid”, mainly a book called “The European Union – What it is and what it does”, that the students found really appealing.

“Dr. Gabriela Marchis’s presentation on <<Global Dynamics and Regional Transformation>> was very informational and thought provoking. As a political science major with plans to work along the African Union to improve the livelihood of the African continent, learning more about the European Union and its members’ efforts to transform their countries for the better was beneficial. Also, the ability of E.U. members to compromise and cooperate for a better future is amazing to me. This is not something you see in America, so being able to learn more about the benefits that members of the E.U. receive as a result of cooperation and comparing that to American policy was interesting. I would love to see America adopt policies similar to the European Union in the future. I am grateful to Dr. Marchis for taking time out of her day to speak with us. I look forward to utilizing her message and the small gift to achieve my career goals within the African Union” (Oghenehoke Johnson, “Claflin” University).

“I enjoyed the presentation because it was very engaging and informative. My classmates and I were able to ask Dr. Marchis questions and interact with her virtually. I found it interesting having a guest speaker from a different country. Something that I learned that I did not know was that the E.U. is an international and supranational organization. Also, the E.U. has been a beneficial organization for nearly seventy years. I was able to get a different viewpoint on Dr. Marchis’s perspectives on globalization, and issues that are going on worldwide” (Nya Grantham, “Claflin” University).
