Romanian Lectures

The main reason for coming to Romania was that my colleague, Ioan Ianos (or John Ianos), wanted me to deliver some cutting edge presentations about the future to staff, professional institutes, academies (including economics), students, and even the mayor of Cravat. So, I managed to give 8 presentations in 10 days to all of the above, as well as hold discussions with various academics here. In the process, I got to see a lot more of Bucharest and, for the first time visit such interesting places as Constanta and Craiova. All in all, it's been a busy time and my hosts have been very generous as I have only had to pay for the occasional meal and a few presents!

Here I am waxing lyrical to students, first in Constanta and then Craiova. By the way, the students seemed to understand what I was saying, but that was because my slides had been translated into Romanian, while I read from the English version in my hands. By the way, the ad for me and my colleague from Curtin University in WA, Roy Jones, was plastered on a door at Ovidius (Ovid) University in Constanta. Needing a bit of exercise, I did tend to fling my arms around!
