Present and future themes of research on transformations in the Middle and Eastern European countries were subject of the international conference named “Cooperation between East and West: Westernization of the East or Easternization of the West?” This event is to enable an intensive exchange of knowledge and experiences between academics of Eastern and Western Europe on the one hand, and to develop research cooperations on the other hand. Furthermore universities of Eastern and Western Europe shall be able to establish or expand contacts with each other in the interdisciplinary symposium. So, scientists of different fields congregated in this forum: economic and management scientists, educationalists and sociologists. The VIII Chemnitz East Forum was a meeting of leading European researchers working in the area of organizational changes in transforming societies. 26 scientists of 13 countries discussed previous and present research topics. They also initiated new corporate projects. Up-and-coming young scientists working on themes of transformation took part, too. Current fields of transformation scientific research were treated at the conference, addressing following aspects: • Enlargement of Western and Eastern methods of management in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, • Transfer of methods of human resource management and organizational structures between East and West, • Leadership in international cooperations, East-West joint ventures as well as enterprises in MEE with Western management, • Internationalization strategies of Central and Western European enterprises, • Cooperate governance and board of management structures of CEE enterprises as well as joint ventures, • Developing organizational forms of East-West cooperation and • Ethical aspects of East-West cooperations. 1 Lang, R., Winkler, I. The presentations dealt with aspects of organizational change and cooperation between organizations in Middle and Eastern European countries as well as Western Europe and Northern America. Especially results of theoretically based empiric researches were lectured. Based on the lectures, presented discussions followed enabling an extensive exchange of ideas. Lectures and discussions made clear that East-West cooperations, in particular caused by differences in power, are still especially marked by a transfer from West to East. Detailed studies and closed examinations however show that this process is not a simple transfer of solutions. Furthermore, local players develop differing strategies of adaptation and further development of transferred institutions, elements, concepts, and solutions. The role of national, regional or organizational cultures behind the influences of the “old” system was notably emphasized. In addition, not only the influence of lines of business with their special conditions and sometimes very different integration in local or global markets but also chosen strategies and ways of implementation of Western management concepts and instruments were of importance. In the end, specific conditions lead to a change in meaning concerning transferred institutions in the Central and Eastern European context, and are partly reflected in changed identities of organizations in CEE countries. While the conference mainly looked at the very differentiated process of the partial ‘Westernization’ of the East, the reversed process of has just begun. One result of the discussions is that theoretically founded analyses are required concerning the development of scientific research approaches. “Multi-theory-approaches” may be suitable because of the complexity of processes but request a meta-theoretical frame or at least sufficient consistency between the used theories. Beside quantitative analyses qualitative researches are still of importance. Concerning the scientists’ role in this process the significance of a critical approach was emphasized. This approach is to avoid one-sided partisanship and examine problems in the process of cooperation and mutual transfer.

There is a recurrent debate in the scholarly literature on interpreting studies: are interpreters made or born? While classical interpreting schools state that great interpreters are born and that formation and development is of a secondary importance, the newest publications on this topic place a much greater stress on the formation and development of interpreting abilities, skills, and competences. The latest results also challenge several ideas and stereotypes concerning the personality and attitudes of interpreters. This article outlines the position and situation regarding Hungarian interpreters in Romania with a special regard to the legal framework, and to the present state of professional training. The study also discusses why interpreters of Hungarian are much more likely to be born in Romania, and not made, (a factor that hinders the professionalization of Hungarian INTERPRETERS IN 2OMANIA %QUALLY SIGNIlCANT ARE THE LEGISLATIVE LOOPHOLES which enable untrained individuals to perform interpreting activities (even ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES THE RESULT OF WHICH IS A SIGNIlCANTLY POORER IMAGE OF THE PROFESSION AND A LOWERING OF THE QUALITY OF WORK IT PRODUCES 7E ALSO give a short overview of the translation and interpreting programmes.

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS SAPIENTIAE, EUROPEAN AND REGIONAL STUDIES, 4 (2013) 39–50 The Hungarian University of Transylvania in t he Transitory Post-War Years (1944–1945) János Kristóf MURÁDIN Department of European Studies, Sapientia University, Cluj-Napoca Abstract. The paper entitled The Hungarian University of Transylvania in the Transitory Post-War Years (1944–1945) describes the issues connected to the institutional transformations of the Hungarian university of Cluj starting with the last academic year of 1943/1944, during the Second World War, and getting through to the foundation of the “Bolyai” University. There are presented both the traditional forms of a high-leveled educational process within this institution and the diffi cult fi nancial and spiritual situation of the university at the end of the Second World War. Besides the immediate consequences of the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944 and the losses suffered by the students due to the deportation of the Jews, the study deals with the fi nancial destruction caused by the bombings of Cluj on 2 June 1944, as well as the consequences of the evacuation order issued by the Hungarian authorities. The article describes also the main reasons why the board of directors of the Hungarian University decided to stay in Cluj and continue their educational and scientifi c activities, as well as the fi rst contacts of the board of Hungarian professors and students with the professors and students of the Romanian University who tried to return from Sibiu in the autumn of 1944. At the same time, the extremely hard fi nancial situation at the beginning of 1945 is also presented.
