Within the scope of the Erasmus+ KA171 International Credit Mobility program, two distinguished researchers from Moldova State University have joined our Department of History for short-term doctoral mobility.

Maria Dragnev specializes in Medieval Moldovan iconography, Byzantine, and Balkan culture, while also serving as an assistant at Moldova State University. Mariana Mihalevschi focuses her research on the activities of Father Visarion Puiu and religious life in Bessarabia during the interwar period. In addition to her doctoral studies, she serves as the Director of the Museum of History and Ethnography in Balti, Moldova.

Under the academic supervision of Asst. Prof. Selim Karagöz from our Department of History, we believe their visit will significantly contribute to our academic environment and strengthen the scientific ties between our institutions.

We extend a warm welcome to our guests and wish them a productive research period.
