CDST-UCV is a legal entity established in 2006, with members and specialists from 6 socio-humanistic faculties from the University of Craiova. It is in fact a form of research institute acting in the domain of educational services with members who are university leaders in the socio-humanistic field. The staff consists of ten permanent experts acting part-time in our research Centre. As an answer to the demands of the labour market, our experts succeeded to create within the University of Craiova a Centre for socio-professional evaluation and orientation for a career in the socio-humanistic area. The Centre elaborates studies and analyses for public institutions from its region.
In 2017 CDST won through competition an Erasmus+ grant named Strategic partnership for representatives of religious communities with other 4 excellent organization partners from Bulgaria, Italy, Greece, and Norway in the framework of the Adult Education. This project was implemented for a period of 30 months with the aim to increase entrepreneurship, project management, leadership, and communication skills to direct project beneficiaries from poor regions/rural areas in order to help them to fight social exclusion and to work more efficiently with vulnerable groups of people.
The Centre was a leader of a European grant co-financed by the Romanian Government entitled Socio-Human Competencies for the Labour Market from the South-Western Region of Oltenia. This project was an excellent opportunity to bring together 396 students from 7 faculties and representatives of the potential employers from the labour market. In 2014, the Centre also participated in a project funded by Grundtvig programme to develop inter-cultural skills to religious leaders in Europe. Moreover, the Center organized weekly reunions in some High Schools from the City of Craiova, with the School Department Inspectorate, Dolj, as a partner. Twelve reunions of a Group for Dialogue between Sciences and Religion were held at five High Schools of the City.
