Lucian Chiriac[1]: Multa paucis (MJSZ, 2021/1., 1. Különszám, 214-215. o.)

Many times I sit and wonder how it is that, in this life, between peers and generations, bonds are created, connections of soul, faith, friendship, collaboration are established, and through their duration all these give a new dimension in time.

Truly, le temps est un grand maître, said Corneille, which urges us to observe that experience is built on learning, researching new fields, education, scientific offerings made for the future, so that the placement in an orchestra of harmony and friendship of scientific elites, but absolutely all based on trust, the joy of seeing each other again and working together, leads to cohesion between different people, different professions, citizens from different countries.

Erasmus, in his work, Adagia (The Sentences) discovered the Source when he stated that tempus Omnia revelat" that is to say, through work, through friendship, respect and perseverance, time brings to the surface the secrets of our meeting. When we started organizing the International Scientific Events, in 2004, we did not even imagine what great dimensions we will reach, what high scientific level we will carry the discussions, what common achievements we will be called to respond to. As the years passed, the joy of reunion, of the exchange of ideas, of the dialogue itself, united us and formed a much richer philosophy of life. Sure, years have passed, many or few, but age is just a condition that can defeat old age. So according to Terentius, old age is only a disease, precisely through the attitude of continuing to be a winner, and all the more so as we are human beings, as a paraphrase of what Coreggio said, anche io sono pittore.

Thanks to our will, through a joint effort, in 2005, we, the Petru Maior University of Târgu-Mures, Romania (today, UMFST "George Emil Palade"), namely Szabo Zsuzsanna, Dragos Chilea, Daniela Valea, Ximena Moldovan, Ramona Coman, Daniel Stefan, Magyari Annamaria, set off without hesitation and compromise with our colleagues from Miskolc University (Hungary), with the distinguished professor and rector later Torma Andras, Erdos Eva, Balazs Szabo, joined by the team of colleagues from the University of Versailles-Saint Quentin en Yvelines (France) in the person of Stefan Manson, Jean Luc Pennot, Yves Poirmeur, Beatrice Boissard, Emma Bursier and the team of colleagues from the University of Salento, Lecce (Italy) Luigi Melica , Luigi Di Vigiano, Vincenzo Carbone.

This approach was joined by professors, researchers, scientists from Northern Ireland, Greece, USA, Bahrain, Lebanon, Germany, Tunisia, Latvia, Brazil, Spain, Moldova, Israel, Great Britain, Turkey and many others, and prestigious universities and academic institutions from around the world have contributed, such as Corvinus University of Budapest, Technical University of Kosice (Slovakia), Romanian Academy, SNSPA Bucharest, University of Strasbourg, International Criminal Bar.

What have we achieved together? 15 International Conferences, countless other conferences, symposions, colloquia, an International Association Pro Iure, we have all contributed to the publication and writing of the legal journal "Juridical Current", and have established and organized the first European Professional Master in Public Administration, we have edited countless courses and specialty books for student use and more.

I made this long and descriptive introduction precisely in order to understand the true and complex participation and contribution of the professor and the rector Torma Andras. He has been involved in our activity since 2005 in organizing countless international scientific events, is a member of the Scientific Committee of the Journal "JuridicalCurrent", is an active member of the "International Association Pro Iure", has participated in the organization and establishment of the European Professional Master in Public Administration, he wrote and collaborated in many university courses in this endeavor. Just as a recognition of his rich activity and in connection with the scientific life of the "Petru Maior" University of Tg-Mureş (today UMFST "George Emil Palade") he was awarded the title of Doctor Honoris Causa of this university. Recognizing his contribution to the spiritual, educational and humanistic edification of generations of students in the field of law, as well as merits in scientific research, the International Scientific Committee of the Iuris Praecepta Foundation awarded professor Torma Andras the Diploma of Excellence and Tudor Drăganu Medal for the entire activity carried out.

Friendly and modest, full of energy and humor, serious and introspective, brave and full of understanding, Torma Andras is the subtle and multilateral researcher of administrative law. He was a promoter of interdisciplinary ties, the introduction of the new in legal science defending the great institutions of public law born since the time of Roman law. He participated in the Conferences in Tg-Mures, Versailles, Gallipoli, Miskolc, Lecce, Strasbourg, Athens, Constanţa, Paris, etc. I can't help but notice the friendship, the warmth, the professionalism, with which the rector greeted the delegations of our university many times. Because all these had to bear a name, it could not be other than Torma Andras, a name in law earned through work and dedication.

Probably the long history will not remember in its memory what we and our generation have done, but the history of the present can hold an adage acknowledging that Mr. Torma Andras along with his friends and colleagues was a worthy ambassador in defense of this city of built on the immortal principles of law, formulated in Digeste, by Ulpian Iuris Praecepta sunt haec : honeste vivere, alterum non laedere, sum quique vivere. Because he is worth it, we can say with the conscience of a job well done, the right man in the right place! ■
