FERBOPO ERA Chair25 November 2024, Sibiu, Romania
Kicked off on 25 November 2024, the ‘Fostering Excellence in Research on State-Church-Body Politics (FERBOPO)’ ERA Chair Project represents an innovative initiative aimed at fostering academic excellence and strengthening Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu’s (ULBS) presence in the European Research Area (ERA).
Central to this ERA Chair initiative is Professor Lavinia Stan from St. Francis Xavier University in Canada, an expert in the cross-cutting fields of government, religion, economics, and feminist epistemology. From her ERA Chair Holder position, her leadership will play a key role in creating a ‘pocket of excellence’ at ULBS that will set new standards in academic research and innovation in Romania, particularly in the areas of gender equality and social sciences.
Over the next five years, FERBOPO will provide capacity building and assist ULBS to implement institutional reforms that align with ERA priorities and facilitate the implementation of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP).
