Summary/Abstract: In the modern societies, universities represent “key institutions”. Their unique capacity to attract foreign students allows young people and communities to connect each others and build pacific and collaborative relationships. In a unified Europe, growth and social cohesion cannot nurture without the ability of their member states to produce culture and dialogue, which highlight and spread the basic reasons of living together. In this contest, Italian and Romanian universities should expand their efforts to promote cultural exchanges and cooperation programmes for social inclusion and pacific co-habitance as well as creating inter-university entities among institutes and departments, libraries, etc., designed to eradicate the awareness that cultural growth brings a very unified Europe. To this end, it is dramatically important to establish an ad hoc relationship, more agile, flexible and without the red-tape burdens typical of an institutionalised cooperation.
