Constantin Bratianu, Adriana Agapie and Ivona Orzea
consultants in improving <strong>the</strong> academic life. From <strong>the</strong> best practice point <strong>of</strong> view in our universities
<strong>the</strong>se last methods are less used, <strong>the</strong>ir impact being much less important. Also, we would like to
mention that in <strong>the</strong> evaluation procedure <strong>of</strong> our faculty staff <strong>the</strong>se last methods play no importance.
Intergenerational knowledge transfer through research grants and writing papers remain <strong>the</strong> most
valuable for <strong>the</strong> time being.

We would like to acknowledge <strong>the</strong> support received from CNCSIS-UEFISCSU through <strong>the</strong> research
