The Library of Politehnica University Timișoara has resumed a tradition that dates back to the beginning of the School. In 1921, just one year after its establishment, the Polytechnic School in Timișoara, at that time the only institution of higher education in the city, launched the first cycle of public scientific and general culture conferences.

On Tuesday, March 3, 2020, under the generic "UPT Library Conferences", the first conference in a monthly series took place. Within them, hot topics will be addressed, in a language accessible to everyone, the presentations being followed by question and answer sessions.

The first conference was "About Coronavirus, to everyone’s understanding", supported by assoc. prof. Emilian Damian Popovici, PhD, head of the Epidemiology Discipline at the "Victor Babeș" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Timisoara, vice-president of the Romanian Society of Epidemiology.

Those attending the event were able to find out, from one of the most authorized voices in the field, what is the international and national situation regarding the Coronavirus epidemic, what are the real risks, how we can avoid it and how the problem should be addressed both by authorities, as well as by the population, obtaining, finally, answers to specific questions.
