I. INTRODUCTION
A. THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY A.1. Legal Framework The “Saint Apollonia” Foundation, established at the beginning of 1990 aimed at creating a private university, an alternative to the public education. Therefore in February 1990 The Apollonia University of Iasi was born, The “Saint Apollonia” Foundation continued to closely monitor the development of the university, so that it doesn’t divert from the teaching and research activity thought by its founders. Created on the basis of the law that allows foundations to create higher education institutions, The “Apollonia” University of Iasi was officially set up according to the Law 48/July 11, 2002 which states that it represents “a legal entity of private law and public utility, part of the national education system, based in Iasi, Pacurari Street, No. 11” (Annex 1.1). Art. 2 of Law 481/11 July 2002 states that the “Apollonia” University of Iasi is set up with the following accredited faculty and field of study: Faculty of Dental Medicine, Dentistry field of study. (Annex 1.1) This legal recognition is the result of following these steps, in accordance with Law 88/1993 on accreditation of higher education institutions and the recognition of diplomas: a) The G.D. No.294/1997 granted (as proposed by the National Council for Academic Assessment and Accreditation) for the Faculty of Medicine (Medicine profile, field of study dentistry, day courses, 6 years) temporary operating permit (after the implementation of the Bologna process the name of the “Dentistry” field of study was changed to the more European name “Dental Medicine”). (Annex 1.2) b) The decision on the structures and the fields of study accredited by the university or provisional authorization (G.D. No. 410/2002), published in Official Gazette of Romania, Part I, no. 313 of May 13, 2002) authorized the Faculty of Communication Sciences with its fields of study, Communication and Public Relations, day courses, four years and Journalism, day courses, four years, and the Faculty of Dentistry, the Dentistry field of study, day courses, six years, Dental Technology, day courses, 3 years. Meanwhile, the university moved its activities into a new building, owned by the university. (Annex 1.3)

c) Law no. 481 of 11 July 2002 (Official Gazette, Part I, no. 518 of 17 July 2002) established and accredited "Apollonia" University of Iasi with the Faculty of Dental Medicine, the Dentistry field of study (CNEAA proposal, including institutional accreditation). (Anexa1.1) d) In May 2003 on the basis of decisions of the “Apollonia” University’s Senate (founded according to the Law No.481/July 11, 2002) and of the “Petre Andrei” University’s Senate (founded according to the Law 408/ June 20, 2002) the merger between the two institutions was decided, under the name “Petre Andrei” University of Iasi. e) The failure to complete the merger of the two universities resulted in the return of the two faculties, the Faculty of Dentistry, Dental field of study, accredited and the Faculty of Communication Sciences with the Journalism and Communication and Public Relations fields of study, at the “Apollonia” University of Iasi, as it was presented in the G.D. No. 1093 of September, 30 2009, published in Official Gazette of Romania, Part I, no. 684 of 12 October 2009. (Annex 1.4) f) The University continued to develop according to the vision and the initial goals of creating a modern and advanced education due to investment in the human resource and the material base, proposing new study field for the temporary authorization, according to the demands of the labor market. G.D. No. 966 of 29 September 2011 restates the structure of the Faculty of Dental Medicine, adding two new fields of study: Dentistry - day courses- six years, Dental Technology - 3 years, General Nursing - 4 years and Balneophysiokinetotherapy and Recovery, - three years, and the Faculty of Communication Sciences with the fields of study: Communication and Public Relations day courses, 3 years and Journalism, day courses, three years. (Annex 1.7) g) In 2012 and 2013 the university continued to appear in the Government Decisions [G.D. No. 707 of July 18, 2012] (Annex 1.11) and G.D. No. 493 of July 22, 2013 (Annex 1.12) in the following structure: Faculty of Dental Medicine with the study programs: Dentistry, day courses, six years (60 students), Dental Technology, day courses 3 years (25 students), General Nursing, 4 years (40 students) and Balneophisiokinetotherapy and Recovery, full time, three years (40 students), and the Faculty of the Communication Sciences with the study programs: Communication and Public Relations day courses, 3 years (25 students) and Journalism, day courses, three years (25 students).

h) In 2013 the monitoring period was prolonged by issuing Order No. 5533 of 19.11.2013 regarding the approval of the special monitoring methodology of the "Apollonia" University of Iasi which provides the methodology for organizing academic activities (entrance examination graduation examination, etc.) for the accredited or temporary authorized study programs. i) Starting with 2014 there is an unaccountable decrease in the tuition figure according to the G.D. 580/2014 (Annex 1.13) which stipulates the constitution of the Faculties and the maximum number of students who can be schooled in the 2014-2015 academic year: Faculty of Dental Medicine with the study programs: Dentistry (30 students), Dental Technology (15 students), General Nursing (20 students) and Balneophisiokinetotherapy and Recovery (20 students). At the Faculty of Communication Sciences the tuition figure at each study program remained the same, as following: Communication and Public Relations (25 students) and Journalism (25 students) and G.D. 575/2015 (Annex 1.14) which stipulates the maximum number of students who can be schooled in the 2015-2016 academic year: Faculty of Dental Medicine with the study programs: Dentistry (30 students), Dental Technology (30 students), General Nursing (40 students) and Balneophisiokinetotherapy and Recovery (20 students), and the Faculty of Communication Sciences with the study programs Communication and Public Relations (25 students) and Journalism (25 students) j) G.D. No. 376/2016 establishes the structure of the Faculties and the maximum number of students that can be enrolled in the 2016-2014 academic year: Faculty of Medical Dentistry with the study programs: Dental Technology (30 students), General Nursing (40 students) and Balneophisiokinetotherapy and Recovery (20 students), and the Faculty of Communication Sciences with the study programs Communication and Public Relations (25 students) and Journalism (25 students) (Annex 9.28).
A.2. Institutional development The 1900-2004 period was a period of initial institutional development which led to the accreditation of the university (according to Law 481/11.06.2002) with the Dentistry field of study from the Faculty of Dental Medicine. The fields of study Social Communication and Public Relations and Journalism belonging to the Faculty of Communication Sciences and the Dental Technology and Optometric Colleges have also been authorized.

The accreditation Law includes the real estate goods The Medical Centre 2 from the Zmeu Street (with the related land), the Medical Centre 3 from the Station Sreet L1-2 and the arranging of a rented space in Pacurari Street, No. 11, where the university’s headquarters has been established. Through the Senates’ decisions of the two entities, but without upholding the merger legislation, “Apollonia” University of Iasi existed within a partnership, between 2004-2009, with the “Petre Andrei” University of Iasi. In all this time the activity of institutions was regulated by their own founding laws and that is why the Ministry and ARACIS treated them as separate entities. This unclear situation determined the “Apollonia” University Senate to terminate the contract and the therefore through G.D. No. 1093 from September 30, 2009, the Apollonia University of Iasi is stipulated as having two faculties: Faculty of Dental Medicine with the Medical Dentistry study program – day courses and the Faculty of Communication Sciences with the Communication and Public Relations and Journalism fields of study, as a daily class program. The Academic year 2009-2010 represented a turning point for “Apollonia” University of Iasi which had to find again its own identity and to rebuild its structures step by step through: Recovering the archive and the patrimony, Checking the employment files of the teaching and auxiliary staff and completing the university structures with own staff, Checking and managing the study documents, Redacting the University Charter and the Regulations according to the new status, the existing legislation and the Ministerial Order for monitoring the universities, Choosing the managerial structures within the whole institution at all levels, Redacting the curricula, the theoretical and practical competencies, organizing the groups and the teaching activity from the entrance exam to the bachelor degree exam, Ensuring spaces and the necessary endowments. Coming back to normality has been a long and difficult process, which was accomplished with much human and material effort. Throughout this process the university has been monitored by the Ministry and ARACIS, according to The Monitoring Order No. 3633 of April 16, 2010. The University’s evolution can be traced step by step, as following:
Page 6 of 144
“APOLLONIA” UNIVERSITY OF IAȘI
In the 2009-2010 academic year we managed to regain the patrimony, the study documents, the human resource, the stabilisation of the students and holding the courses in spaces that belong to the university (The Medical Centre on Zmeu Street No.8 and and Medical Centre on The Station Street No. 8 L 20-21) and rented spaces (Pacurari Street No. 11). Starting from that moment, the teaching activity took place in normal conditions. Because during the time of the fake merger the university’s patrimony was deteriorated and there were no investments, starting from the 2009-2010 academic year the management of the university was very much preoccupied with purchasing and renting new teaching and research spaces (Annex 8.2), through renting contracts with DOMENICO (Pacurari space No. 11, and the space at Stefan cel Mare No.2), with the clinical university hospitals (Annex 8.2). A new building was purchased on Muzicii Street No. 2 which became the place in which the preclinical laboratories were established, the university’s administration, classrooms, the library. The rented and purchased spaces were equipped with furniture, IT technology and teaching equipment for the proper development of the teaching activity (Annex 8.3). Starting with the year 2012 the central headquarters of the university moved within the building from Muzicii Street No.2, which also became the mail centre. The university preserved its registered office on Pacurari Street No. 11, as it was stipulated in the university’s Foundation Law. We mention that we have taken steps towards changing the registered office to Muzicii Street No. 2. In order to make the research activity more efficient the “Acad. Ioan Hăulică” research institute was established, certificate ISO 900, starting with 2010. It has developed ever since, and now it includes various research departments: Biomaterials, Biological Sciences (which are part of the Preclinical Department), Medical Sciences (part of the Clinical Department), and Socio- human sciences (part of the Communication and Public Relations Department), therefore structured so that it can include specific research activities and to participate by offering project proposals in the national and international competitions. (Annex 1.15. (15)) Another important moment in the institutional development was represented by the changing of the vision on the student’s practical training by the founding in 2011 of some practical training platforms according to the acquired competencies for the future specialist on the basis of practical training scales specific to every faculty:
Page 7 of 144
“APOLLONIA” UNIVERSITY OF IAȘI
Faculty of Dental Medicine: The Preclinic Training Platform is composed of teaching and research laboratories, joined together within The integrated laboratory for biotolerance to medicine, biomaterials and medical devices. The teaching laboratories are composed of: Laboratory for Morphological Miscroscopic Study Subjects with the study subjects Cell Biology and Genetics, Histology and Morphopathology, Microbiology; Laboratory for Functional Study Subjects with the study subjects Physiology, Physiopathology, Pharrmacology and Biochemistry; Laboratory for Biomaterials and Biophisics; Laboratory for Embriology, Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy. Research Laboratories are comprised of: The nanomaterial laboratory: synthesis and characterisation, The spectrophotometry laboratory, the Cellular Culture laboratory, The embryology laboratory, the PCR laboratory, The experiential medicine laboratory, the Laboratory for preclinical investigations) The Practical Training Platform comprised of specialised clinics – Odontology, Periodontology, OMF Surgery, Implantology, Orthodontics, Pedodontics and Dental Protetics,
Page 8 of 144
“APOLLONIA” UNIVERSITY OF IAȘI
Complex Oral Rehabilitation, the Clinical Odondentistry Clinic, The Dental Prevention Clinic, the Balneophisiokinetotherapy Clinic, The Nursing Simulation Laboratory, the Dental Technology Laboratories: The Propaedeutic Laboratory, the Electromechanical Simulation Laboratory, Psychology Laboratories and Haptic Simulation, 3D Dental Radiology Laboratories, etc.
Faculty of Communication Sciences: The Practical Training Platform comprised of: Apollonia TV, Radio Apollonia, The Press Agency, The “Nova Apollonia” magazine, The Organizational Analysis and Diagnosis Office, The Marketing and Advertising Office, The Public Relations and Communication Office, The “Apollonia” Publishing House. (Annex 8.2) This structure is based on a holistic and original vision regarding the students’ practical insertion and it aims at centralizing the practical activity within a unitary space and a correlation between the skills that the graduate has to have and the accomplishment of the cumulative practical scales and the checking of the case portfolio for the bachelor degree exam. This vision has been appreciated by independent international organizations which assess the quality of university teaching. Therefore, the “Apollonia” University of Iasi was awarded the following distinctions: Europe Business Assembly, awarded the title for Best University 2013; European Society for Quality Research (ESQR), Brussels, Belgium awarded the title European Award for best Practices 2014, in the Gold Category. A very important element for the institutional consolidation is the improvement of the secretariat’s activity and the management of the study documents which was achieved after the 2013 visit of the Minister of Education, which signalled deficiencies in the activity of the secretariat. This is why we achieved an agreement with the State Archives, with the purpose of correcting the deficiencies from the secretariat and the document’s archiving system. Following this agreement training activities for the secretariat’s staff took place, and an algorithm for generating, registering and archiving documents was designed. At the same time an analysis committee was established, according to the procedures imposed by the States’ Archives, which established measures, steps and deadlines for updating the folders, as well as a set of measures that had to be taken in order to correct subsequent errors. The management structures checked if the folders’ lists of documents were correct, the correct

“APOLLONIA” UNIVERSITY OF IAȘI
completion of the school registers, the correspondence between the school registers, matriculation registers, diploma supplements and the correct management of the study documents. Therefore, the year 2013 represents a hailstone in solving the deficiencies from the secretariat and previous documents were updated and assumed by signature and stamp. Subsequent to the updating process the archiving of the folders was completed according to the established archiving nomenclature. Although these problems have been solved the ARACIS commission check on a regular basis the documents prior to 2013, and they reproach the corrections made and assumed by signature and stamp, and they choose to ignore the university’s evolution. Every step from 2009 and up to now has followed to uphold current legislation, the ARACIS standards, the development of the quality culture at the level of every structure and the ensuring of an efficient teaching system based on the students’ learning requirements. Despite all these investments and the increase in the educational capacity (both human and material) and the development of the university within the last two academic years (2014 and 2015) the tuition figure was much diminished, below the university’s possibilities and this affects the university’s sustainable development as well as the upholding the strategic planning.
B. THE ACOMPLISHMENT OF THE MANDATORY NORMATIVE REQUIREMENTS B.1. THE LEGAL STATUS OF “APOLLONIA” UNIVERSITY OF IAȘI 1. The “Apollonia” University of Iași was accredited by the Law 481/July 11, 2002 with the following faculty and field of study: Faculty of Dental Medicine, Dentistry field of study.

Its public image is presented on the Internet on the website www.univapollonia.ro. Because the headquarters stated by Law 48/June 11, 2002 is in a rented space where the university made different arrangements and considering that by acquiring a new building the image of the university is better represented by the new headquarters, steps were taken towards the Ministry to change the official headquarters to Muzicii Street, No. 2, the current mailing headquarters of the university. 3. “Apollonia” University of Iasi is a higher education and scientific research institution part of the Romanian teaching system, which functions on the basis of Romania’s Constitution, the legislation from the teaching field and in the spirit of the European and universal principles present in “The Lima Declaration on Academic Freedom and Autonomy of Institutions of Higher Education” (1988), “The Magna Charta of European Universities” (Bologna, 1988) and “Academic Freedom and University Autonomy” (Sinaia, 1992) and adheres to the university organisations that acknowledge these documents. 4.

Beginning with the 2009-2010 academic year the management of the university developed a new form of the Charter in accordance with the new status of the university.

B.8. STUDENTS The management is constantly preoccupied to ensure proper study conditions, a friendly atmosphere which should reflect the students’ satisfaction degree, 77% of them having a positive appreciation of the learning environment offered by the university. Therefore, the university’s Analysis and Organizational Diagnosis Office performs an annual survey which is presented and debated in the Senate. (Annex 7.18) “Apollonia” University of Iasi developed a partnership relationship with the students who are viewed as an important human resource in the academic development of the institution. The quality of being a student at the university offers both rights and obligations stipulated in the Students’ code of rights and obligations. They have access to the university’s resources during their study program and, on request, outside the study program, if they want to improve on a certain direction. Students actively participate in the managerial act through their representatives who were chosen in the management structures of the university (Senate, Senate Office, Board of Directors), of the faculties (The Faculty’s Council) and of the departments (The department’s council) and their number represents at least 25% from the total members. Students are active partners in the development of the budget and its achievement, in analysing the university’s strategy, curriculum, state of functions and in organizing various exams. Also, students have the right and the obligation to delegate representatives in all the commissions and functional departments of the university and they are involved in all the major decisions on every level. The students’ professional route takes place according to their own decision, the study programs include the option and responsibility of the students in choosing the way in which they prepare for the subjects. The students’ opinion, either individual or expressed by their representatives is one means of self-control, assessment and improvement for the activity of the university. The special relationship that teachers have with students supports the idea of a true partnership between them and the university. There are various levels and actions through which the university’s staff is in permanent contact and knows the educational requirements of the students (formal and informal). There are guiding teachers and individual tutors and each student has the possibility of being guided in his choices by a teacher. For each year there is a person in charge, a teacher, who analyses the activity of that group of students and the way in which they
Page 33 of 144
“APOLLONIA” UNIVERSITY OF IAȘI
are involved in the academic life of the university. The university’s management keeps a permanent contact with the students and knows their needs. Any student can talk to the management within the office hours or outside the office hours if the matter is important or urgent. Also, from time to time, there are visits in laboratories, at seminars or lectures, and these are also opportunities when students can express their points of view. Besides the teachers and individual tutors, there is also a peer student tutoring. (Annex 5.4) – for the 2015-2016 academic year, (Annex 9.20) – 2016-2017 academic year. Our students benefit from the services of the Career Counselling and Orientation Office, which guides them about their professional path. Also, our students benefit from the services of a Psychological and Haptic Simulation Ward, where thery receive counselling. Here, the students from the Faculty of Medical Dentistry test their individual work abilities – their dexterity. The Students’ Association (http://univapollonia.ro/asociatia-studentilor-din-universitatea- apollonia-din-iasi/) involves students in informal education strategies, in personal development activities, actively participating in the community integration of the future specialists. The dynamic activity of the Association is supported by the university and allows the development of an involved and formative student life, in the spirit of social responsibility.

B.9. RESEARCH ACTIVITY The research activity of “Apollonia” University of Iasi takes place according to the university’s research strategy (Annex 6.1), adapted to the evolution of the scientific research at the national and international level, to a plan of scientific research (Annex 6.2), (Annex 9.29) and according to the Strategic Plan of the University (Annex 7.3). Also, research in the university, at the faculty level is guided according to the annual research plans of the two faculties which always include new and concentrated topics, in order to avoid the dispersion of forces and means. (Annex 6.2) – 2015-2016 academic year, (Annex 9.29) – 2016-2017 academic year. In order to make the research activity more efficient, in the university there are various research projects financed on current national and international topics. In the 2014-2015 academic year, a number of 27 research projects have taken place, in the 2015-2016 academic year 35 research projects have been approved and in the 2016-2017 academic year a new research project competition was opened. In 2015 12 national and international projects have been developed. Researchers and teachers from the university submitted, in December 2014, a number of 3 projects within the competition entitled Research projects to stimulate the forming of independent research teams. The 2015 research activity resulted in the following published articles: - In ISI Journals = 22 (Annex 6.3) (22 at Medical Dentistry) - in ISI Proceedings = 10 (8 at Medical Dentistry and 2 at Communication Sciences) - In CNCS, BDI and other journals (Annex 6.3) = 59 (36 at Medical Dentistry and 23 at Communication Sciences) - Published Books = 24 (11at Medical Dentistry and 13 at Communication Sciences) (Annex 6.3) - Participation in national and international scientific events (Annex 6.3) = 221: at Medical Dentistry= 150 and Communication Sciences = 71. Following the 2016 research activities, the following published articles appeared: - In ISI Journals = 23 (at Medical Dentistry) - in ISI Proceedings = 2 (at Medical Dentistry) - In CNCS, BDI and other journals = 47 (27 at Medical Dentistry and 20 at Communication Sciences)
Page 43 of 144
„APOLLONIA” UNIVERSITY OF IAȘI
- Published Books = 9 (4 at Medical Dentistry and 5 at Communication Sciences) - Participation in national scientific events = 69: 45 at Medical Dentistry and 24 at Communication Sciences and in international events = 91: 58 at Medical Dentistry and 33 at Communication Sciences. (Annex 9.30) These results must be correlated with the small number of teachers from our university. The journals published by “Apollonia” University of Iasi: International Journal of Medical Dentistry, B+ scientific journal according to CNCS (http://www.ijmd.ro/) and International Journal of Communication Research (http://www.ijcr.eu/), both included in international databases (ISI Indexing, Global Impact Factor, DOAJ, EBSCO) represent not only a means of using the results of the own research by publishing scientific papers developed by teachers and researchers from the university, but also a way to preserve the relationship with other groups of researchers from Romania and abroad, who publish in these journals. One of the main priorities of the university’s management is to continue the assessment process in order to index the IJMD journal in the ISI Thompson database. At the sam time, we also began the process of indexing the IJCR journal in the ISI Thompson database. The improvement of the quality of the published materials in the university’s journals has been monitored as well as the number of citations, with the purpose of obtaining an impact coefficient. We intensified promotional activities for the IJMD and IJCR journal via Internet, media, by inviting domestic and foreign specialists to publish in these journals, by developing flyers that will be included in the portfolios of different domestic and foreign scientific manifestations, and by attracting some well-known personalities in the board of the journals. International connections in the field of scientific research were materialized by establishing partnerships with academic and research institutions, such as: Mardin Artuklu University, Mardin, Turkey, Stomatological Faculty, Bukovian State Medical University, Chernivtsi-City, Ukraine, Department of Operative Dentistry, Stomatological Faculty, Bogomoles National Medical University, Kiev, Ukraine, Universitatea de Stat din Moldova, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, Universitatea Libera Internationala din Moldova, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, Gimcheon University, Gimcheon, South Korea, SMM/Swiss School of Management (Universita Europea di Roma), The Department of Anatomy and Molecular Embryology at Ruhr University, Germany, International European Academy, Tirana Albania, University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour, France, The Catholic University of Portugal (Lisbon),
