ASE inaugurated a modern amphitheater
On November 5, 2025, ASE inaugurated the 3M Amphitheater in the "Paul Bran" Building. The project was carried out through the ASE Foundation, with the support of Raiffeisen Bank, which allocated 80,000 euros for the complete transformation of the lecture hall - a large-scale project, completed in just 45 days.
Redesign works include: replacement of the floor boards, renovation of walls and ceilings, installation of new electrical circuits and LED lighting fixtures, endowment with modern furniture and high-performance digital equipment - smart board, video projector and projection screen. The central design element, the paintings with stabilized natural moss, reflect ASE's commitment to sustainability and education for a green economy. The 3M amphitheater thus becomes a symbol of collaboration between our University and the private sector, demonstrating that investments in education can generate sustainable and inspirational results for the community.
On this occasion, ASE and Raiffeisen Bank also presented the results of the study "Youth Education for the Prevention of Online Financial Fraud", which evaluates the level of financial and digital education of young people in Romania and proposes concrete measures to reduce vulnerabilities associated with the use of online financial services, emphasizing the role of education in preventing fraud and strengthening digital security.
