Research complements teaching at the University of Oradea. Extensive research is carried out in research centers, research groups, and within faculties. The directions for research are set by the academic community, by taking into account the existing research capability, local heritage, present and future demands. Research is part of every academic employee's work. It is one of the criteria in evaluating the employee's performance. It may be part of the didactic performance plan. One major objective of our research programs has been attracting a large number of students and specialists from our University and from elsewhere, into becoming interested in these fields. For this purpose, the University concluded several protocols with various institutions in the country and abroad. Protocols are focused on interdisciplinary themes in various fields. They are supported with seminars, conferences and mutual research contracts. Scientific research, at the University of Oradea, encompasses both the fundamental and the applied side.

These branches are: · Historic and Demographic Regional Bases. Taking into account the fact that we are concerned with a geographically delimited region, we consider it necessary to put forward its historic and demographic basis. Both historians and sociologists will be involved in the activity of this department. · Spatial Aspect of the Euro-region. We focus mainly on geographic research. The professors and students of the Geography Chair will be involved in this section. · The Economic Problem of Euro-regional Cooperation. The economic aspects, as well as those concerning European integration will be envisaged. · Political aspect, the active involvement in solving certain administrative and political matters of the Carpathian Euro-region. · Cultural aspect. We will place here the aspects related to art, culture, and civilization in the region mentioned above; we will also approach matters that are related to mass media and its role in the democratisation and transition process towards a new system of values. We have to mention that research is carried out by each faculty department and it is materialized in scientific dissertations, presented on various national and international symposiums, congresses, conferences. The coordination of the research activity according to the department's plans and the stimulation of the creative spirit determined lately the publishing, by the didactic staff of the university, of an important number of papers and articles in specialty publications and Doctoral thesis. Short history The traditions of higher education in Oradea, metaphorically speaking, go back to time immemorial. This year there are 222 years since the inauguration of higher education in Oradea and 39 years of continuous higher education in Oradea. In the illuminist atmosphere at the end of the 18th century, "a higher institution for philosophic teaching" was founded in Oradea in 1780, which was to become in 1788 the Faculty of Law, the oldest faculty not only within the Romanian borders but also in a vast region of Eastern Europe. After 1921, all the courses at the Law Faculty were taught in Romanian. In 1923, the foundation of two theological academies gave new dimensions to the academic life in Oradea. The Law Academy of Oradea, together with the two theological academies, was to make another step forward by integrating a faculty of letters, thus achieving the old desideratum of creating in Oradea a University of Crisana. But in 1934, under unfavourable circumstances and after 150 years of longstanding activity, the Law Faculty - the academic nucleus of Oradea - is transferred to Cluj. After a thirty-year break in the activity of the Law Academy of Oradea, on the 1st of October 1963, an order of the Ministry of Education established in Oradea a 3-year Pedagogic Institute meant to do away with the scarcity of teachers in secondary education. The new institution of higher education began its activity with two faculties: Philology and Mathematics-Physics, and a year later other two faculties (History-Geography and Physical Education) were added. One by one, the new sections obtained an academic statue until 1983, when due to a poor educational policy, the didactic and humanistic specializations diminished their activity, and from a prosperous institution of higher education, Oradea turned into an engineering college affiliated to the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. In May 1990 a decree of the Romanian government established the Technical University of Oradea, later called the University of Oradea, based on impressive traditions of academic life in the town. It was an act of scientific and cultural restoration long expected in the life of the Romanian society, a major gain of the people's Revolution of December 1989. This is how the dream of several generations of scholars came true, clearly expressed by a historian of Oradea: "As regarding the future, the desire of all well-meant Romanians is to establish in Oradea a complete university, the lights of which will shine across the entire western border of Romania". Today, the University of Oradea is an integrated institution of higher education of this kind, comprising 15 faculties and 5 colleges with more than 30,000 students enrolled in short-term and long-term education, day courses, evening courses, reduced frequency courses or other forms of attendance. We all have to admit that there is no other financial or real estate investment more profitable for students. Education itself will always be the best long-term investment, as nothing is as precious as the knowledge gained during academic instruction. Main activities The mission of the University of Oradea is to train and educate on a large scale both the students and also the high education graduates, as well as to approaches certain domain of science and technology at high level. The structure of the University contains academic education, postgraduate education, colleges and scientific research. The University has the right to grant the titles of graduate, licensee, master, doctor, honorary professor, visiting professor and associate professor. The University of Oradea expanded itself by developing new faculties, colleges and research teams, as well as by developing certain specializations inside the existing faculties. Inside the University of Oradea the education and research activity is developing in the area of natural and physical sciences, as well as in the area of social and human sciences, covering (according with the UNESCO classification) the following: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Sciences of Life, Agricultural Sciences, Medical Sciences, Technological and Engineering Sciences, Economical Sciences, Geography, History, Juridical Sciences and Law, Linguistics, Pedagogy, Political Sciences, Psychology, Letters and Arts, Sociology, Philosophy. The educational process is based on the curricula for long term studies, short term studies, postgraduate's studies, master, doctoral studies and programs of continuous education and Distance Open Education. To create flexible education structures, according with the necessities and adapted to the labour market conditions, inside the University of Oradea was established a Department for Distance Open Education (Distance Learning Education). This form of training offers a great flexibility, liberating the students from the strains of time, space and rhythm of work, representing a special attraction for the working population. The University of Oradea adopted the European System of Transferable Credits, facilitating in this way the didactical process. The scientific research activity is developing in research teams inside faculties and chairs, as well as in research centers without juridical personality from our University, such as the Medical Center of Research and the National Center of Geothermal Research, which will be accredited as excellence research center, as soon as possible. The research has both fundamental character and applicative, based on the following principal domains the exploitation of the geothermal potential, researches in microwave area, researches in the area of high frequency current, researches in the area of human physiology, specific researches for the existing chairs. Presently, in the University of Oradea, inside the research teams there are 146 employees, 80 having higher education, and 7 are scientific researchers.
