The research activity in the Faculty of Law is based on a Strategic Plan conceived on various horizons of time, including the general and specific objectives, the research topics, the collectives and the responsible persons, the deadlines for realization, the methods of valorisation and the estimated costs.

Thus, the Faculty of Law has its own scientific research plan, circumscribed to the institutional research interests and a plan of scientific manifestations.

The themes of research approached by the teachers belong to the disciplines included in the didactic norm and the thematic area of the field of the license.

According to this plan,

The general objectives of the scientific research activity carried out by the faculty members of the Faculty of Law involved in the reexamination license program are:

promoting the scientific research of faculty to national and international standards by participating in the national / European and international research programs;

– involvement of young people in scientific research (teachers, PhD students, master students, students);

– strengthening links with the legal environment in order to offer solutions, through research and technology transfer contracts, to specific problems;

– multiplying partnerships and scientific collaborations with various research institutes and universities in the country and abroad;

– attracting additional revenue from scientific research for faculty and university development.

The specific objectives of the scientific research activity are:

  • Access to structural funds and national and international research projects competitions;
  • The conclusion of research and technology transfer contracts with the business environment;
  • Identifying ways to balance research and teaching, depending on faculty, departments, priority areas, funding sources, etc.

Research Achievement

The scientific research activity is an express task of each teacher, foreseen in the function states and the job descriptions. This activity is done individually or through research teams. Also, the doctoral students, master students and Students of our faculty. The main ways of carrying out the scientific research activity are:

  • Scientific research conducted independently by teachers through articles published in prestigious journals or indexed in international databases, as well as numerous articles presented at national conferences and international conferences held in the country or abroad;
  • The scientific research materialized in the elaboration of monographs with theoretical and practical impact;
  • Engaging in research projects funded by European funds;
  • Engaging in collective research activities;
  • The presence of teaching staff in editorial staff of prestigious journals in the field of law;
  • Holding membership in Representative Associations in the Legal Field;
  • Organizing Conferences on themes that circumscribe the major legal issues of the time;
  • Coordination of student research activity and of master students, as well as doctoral students as doctoral coordinators.

We highlight the scientific research activity carried out by the teaching staff involved in the elaboration of the Romanian Encyclopaedia. We mention that this project, carried out in collaboration with the Romanian Academy of Law Research Andrei Radulescu, created the framework of a valuable scientific collaboration through the collaboration between the teaching staff of the Faculty of Law and didactic staff from other educational institutions or important personalities of life legal.

Center for Legal Research coordinated by Prof.univ.dr. Nicolae Voiculescu has always constituted a way of collective involvement of the Faculty of Law teachers, often being the host of events occasioned by the presence of personalities from fields of interest to lawyers.

The research has substantial financial resources to achieve the proposed objectives. All classrooms are equipped with audio-visual technical equipment (videoprojector, projection screen, laptop, overhead projector) and can also be used for scientific research activities.

At the same time, following the Agreement concluded in 2009 between the Head of the Representation of the European Commission in Romania and the Rector of Titu Maiorescu University, the European Documentation Center (CDE) of Titu Maiorescu University was established. This Documentation Center is part of Europe Direct’s information services network managed by the European Commission and operates in the Titu Maiorescu University Library. On the basis of the signed agreement, CDE receives, free of charge, publications of the EU institutions distributed by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities in Luxembourg.
