Politehnica University Politehnica of Timisoara, Romania (UPT) (http://www.upt.ro/) is established in 1920, shortly after the union of Romanian territories, in a European context marked by the redefinition of states and by the aftermath of World War I, the Polytechnic School in Timisoara - as was originally called - was the answer to one of the requirements of the Romanian society of the time, namely the formation of engineers. "Politehnica" University of Timisoara, a university of advanced research and education, is today one of the traditional Romanian schools and is recognized nationally and internationally both through the work of generations of teachers and the outstanding work of prestigious academics.

Faculty of Automation and Computers (AC) (http://www.ac.upt.ro/) has a longstanding tradition in the field with the first Computer Engineering curricula from Romania having been developed here in the 1960's. It represents one of the major factors in the IT industry development in post-communist Timisoara. The faculty is attended by more than 2200 students (undergraduate, master and PhD) and has around 100 academic personnel. AC has sought to enhance its educational and research capability by constantly upgrading its more than 30 laboratories. Furthermore, AC has established close relation with industry representatives, which are actively involved in the teaching process by taking part in the engineering curricula development, in a bid to create higher quality graduates for the job market. Another key actor - present and former students - play an active role by providing important feedback used to improve the educational process.
