Program Institute for German Studies Council for European Studies 21st International Conference of Europeanists Resurrections Washington, D.C. • March 14-16, 2014 Program Institute for German Studies The Institute for German Studies (IGS) at the University of Birmingham in England is part of a worldwide network of centres for German and European Studies linked with the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service). Our research is cross-disciplinary and encompasses the culture, history, politics and economics of Germany in its European context. The IGS is an internationally recognized centre of expertise on contemporary Germany, which supports doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, bringing them together with experienced scholars and leading international thinkers on Germany and Europe. Alongside its flourishing programme of research seminars and conferences, the IGS is currently the hub of a high-profile academic network, supported by the DAAD: Weltanschauungen / Worldviews: The German Past and the Contemporary World – The Domestic and Foreign Politics of Memory. This two-year project brings together an interdisciplinary group of eminent scholars from around the world to consider the continuing impact of 20th-century German history, particularly the legacies of fascist and communist dictatorships, on 21st-century political decision-making.

Call for Papers Twenty-Second International Conference of Europeanists Paris, France • July 8-10, 2015 Organized by the Council for European Studies (CES) and hosted by Sciences Po, Paris Contradictions: Envisioning European Futures In many historical moments Europe’s futures have seemed not simply open and uncertain, but also replete with contradiction. In the contemporary juncture, the responses both of ordinary Europeans and of the continent’s collective actors and institutions to the challenges posed by crisis again constitute a series of contradictions—some of which reiterate large questions from Europe’s past, while also imping- ing upon the ability of social forces to imagine possible futures. Europe is today a space within which the principle of social solidarity appears firmly rooted, yet also one in which the politics of austerity threaten to erode welfare state commitments. It is a context in which supra-national institutions and transnational social connections have progressed far, but also the scene of substantial efforts to reassert nationalism. It is a setting in which many are disenchanted with mainstream politics, yet also challenged by the possible growth of new movements. These – and other – tensions and contradictions manifest themselves in indi- vidual lives, social relations, institutions and collective projects. And we would like the 22nd International Conference of Europeanists to examine such opposing tendencies and, facing forward, consider the many potential futures emerging from the European crisis. Thus, for its 2015 conference, the Council for European Studies (CES) invites proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions and individual papers on the study of Europe, broadly defined. We encourage proposals in the widest range of disciplines, and, in particular, proposals that combine disci- plines, nationalities, and generations. Although it is not mandatory that papers be related to the confer- ence theme, papers that do so are especially welcome. We strongly encourage participants to submit their proposals as part of an organized panel. Full panel proposals will be given top priority in the selection process. Participants may find it useful to con- nect with like-minded scholars through the growing number of CES research networks, links to which can be found here: http://councilforeuropeanstudies.org/research/research-networks Proposals may be submitted from August 18 to October 10, 2014. Participants will be notified of the Committee’s decision by December 18, 2014. Information on how to submit proposals will be posted on the CES website and disseminated through its newsletter.

  • ROMANIA Association: Romanian Society of Stomatology (SRS) Venue: Bucharest Year: 2017
    Regional European Organisation of the FDI National Report Country: ROMANIA Association: Romanian Society of Stomatology (SRS) Venue: Bucharest Year: 2017 Changes in the association and its organisation The first Romanian association of dentists, called “The General Association of Doctors in Dental Medicine in the Country”, was established in Cluj by the 17 September 1923 Constitutive Act and admitted on October 20, 1923 by the Decision no. 1161/1923 issued by the Head of the Cluj Urban Court. The association included 37 dentists, who held a general assembly in which they drafted and signed a statute certified and acknowledged by the Cluj Court. The elected president was G. Bilascu (Cluj). The main purpose of the association was “to contribute to the progress of dentistry; to defend the professional and material interests of its members”. Initially, in Bucharest, the Association published a journal called the “Romanian Stomatology Journal” with 4 numbers per year. Since 1937 the journal was called the “Romanian Journal of Dentistry” and was published under the leadership of Associate Professor Dr. Dan Theodorescu with 6 numbers per year. The magazine was published in Romanian, each article having a summary in French, German and English. In 1937, the General Association of Doctors in Dental Medicine moved its headquarters to Bucharest, changing its name into the General Association of Dentists in Romania (AGMSR). In 1938 AGMSR changed its name into the “Romanian Society of Stomatology” (SRS) with a modified statute, its President being Associate Professor Dr. Dan Theodorescu. During that period, the SRS organized dentistry congresses, trying to regulate dental practice.

  • Case Study: Outpatient in Its DNA—Medlife
    CASE STUDY Outpatient in its DNA MedLife: Changing the Culture of Healthcare in Romania March 2017 ABOUT IFC IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on leveraging the power of the private sector to tackle the world’s most pressing development challenges. Working with private enterprises in more than 100 countries, IFC uses its capital, expertise and influence to help eliminate extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity. ABOUT THE CASE STUDY Expanding access to quality and affordable health care is a central element to eliminating extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. The World Bank Group has a goal to end preventable deaths and disability through Universal Health Coverage (UHC). In many developing countries, governments do not have the capacity to service the entire population and private health care providers often play a critical role in meeting societal needs. IFC’s health practice is developing case studies that demonstrate the ability of the private sector towards achieving global and national health care goals. Through a focus on efficiency and innovation, certain business models can provide better outcomes at a lower overall cost to society. WRITTEN BY This case study was authored by Ann M. Casanova with valuable inputs from IFC colleagues: Ioan Cleaton-Jones, Mona Hassan, Chris McCahan, Alexandre Oliveira, and Elena Sterlin. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A special note of appreciation is extended to MedLife, especially to Mihai Marcu, Dr. Nicolae Marcu, Dorin Preda, and Alis Lupu for sharing their experience and data with us. The author is grateful for the many insights provided by IFC colleagues.

  • Primary Healthcare and Hospitals Together Responsible for Good Health of Patient and Society"
    "Primary Healthcare and Hospitals together responsible for good Health of Patient and Society" Organised by the Romanian Hospital Association In co-operation with: the Commission for Health and Family of the Parliament of Romania, the Romanian Residents Association, the Romanian Institute of Health Services Management of the Ministry of Health and the International Hospital Federation Bucharest, 5-6 November 1998 The Two-Way Message of Bucharest Conclusions by Prof. K. SCHUTYSER (Secretary-General HOPE) Within one year after the Berlin wall was broken down, HOPE started an East-West Hospital Co- operation (twinning) action during a Seminar in Berlin (1990), followed by one in Strasbourg (1992) and one in Bucharest (1994), which I called in the conclusions of 1994 one of the hearts of Central Europe. 4 years later we are back in this city and country, Romania, which became meanwhile one of the candidates (albeit of the second round) of the Euro Agenda 2000, the calendar for the enlargement of Europe. A lot has changed during these last 4-5 years. The initial wild enthusiasm of the EU, the Member States and especially the NGOs for active partnership in bridging the East-West gap has somewhat cooled down. Especially in the health domain the PHARE and TACIS programmes lost e.g. their attention for health as a priority. Even in HOPE some weakening of the attention could be noted, which made the organisation of this Conference not so evident, but it was luckily countered by the HOPE colleagues present and their active input. The experiences and outcomes of these 2 days however certainly illustrate that if some kind of EURO Marshall plan would start towards the Central European Countries to stimulate their "renaissance", the sectors of welfare, health, education and culture should be a full part of such a plan, which could not be limited to economics and markets.
