InterCulturalia #8, an intersection of 5 languages and several fields, organised by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in partnership with the Faculty of Geography and Geology, the Faculty of Law, Moldova State University, and the University of Medicine and Pharmacy ”Grigore T. Popa” of Iaşi, took place on the 3rd and 4th of April this year.
With a total of thirty-four panels and nine other activities, this year’s InterCulturalia brought together almost two hundred participants eager to share their contributions about embodiment and disembodiment in arts, cultures, and science. Over sixty volunteers and thirty organisers worked together to ensure the smooth running of the event across two days and several locations.
