Within the Department of English Language and Literature there is considerable opportunity for staff members and students to participate in research groups, conferences and other activities. A series of top scholars have participated as invited speakers in the series of conferences organized by our Linguaculture Centre for (Inter)cultural and (Inter)lingual Research. The centre has also implemented several international research projects. The peer-reviewed printed and e-journal LINGUACULTURE is one of our successful projects – to which both outstanding Romanian and international scholars as well as successful MA and PhD graduates have contributed. The English Department is also proud to have its own library, the Reading Room, which is open to both our students and teaching staff and hosts several thousand volumes. The volumes published under the aegis of our department are also proof of the quality and diversity of our research activities.
