Initiated by our colleague Iulia Simion, a graduate of the Master programme in Regional Development and International Cooperation (International Development and Migration), now serving as an Information Management Officer at IOM, DIM Talks is one of our successful projects involving a large portion of our members and interns.
The podcasts feature professors, experts, and practitioners in the field of international development and migration, providing a valuable platform for disseminating knowledge and relevant perspectives in these domains. They enable listeners to better understand the challenges and opportunities associated with these topics, explore current trends, and learn from the experiences and expertise of the guests. Covering subjects such as international development policies, the impact of migration on origin and destination communities, as well as innovations and effective solutions in managing migratory flows, these podcasts not only inform but also inspire and mobilize the audience in support of global sustainable development and migration management efforts.
The inaugural episode of this series featured Assoc. Prof. Dr. Cristian Pîrvulescu, Dean of the Faculty of Political Science at SNSPA and an expert in social and migration issues. We delved into captivating themes related to migration, civil society, and regional development to better understand their challenges and impact on today’s society.

Our aim was to explore innovative solutions to global problems and discover the power of international cooperation in bringing about significant changes. The answers to these questions and many more lie in the dialogue with Mr. Mircea Mocanu, head of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) mission in Romania. We learned how we can build a more empathetic and solidarity-driven society through innovative solutions. We also discovered the efforts and projects of IOM in Romania and how they are changing people’s lives.
