An interdisciplinary forum for social sciences and humanities
Communication. Information. Learning (CIL) is an annual international conference hosted by the Faculty of Letters at the University of Craiova. It creates a meeting place for researchers, teachers, practitioners, doctoral candidates, and students whose work crosses disciplinary boundaries.
The first edition took place in 2014 under the title Creativity. Imaginarium. Language. In 2019, the conference adopted its current name, reflecting an expanded focus on communication, information, media, and education while retaining its foundations in the humanities. Across thirteen editions, its programmes and proceedings have brought together research on journalism and public relations, digital media, education, psychology, sociology, political discourse, linguistics, literature, and cultural studies.
Conference editions combine plenary contributions with thematic sessions and interdisciplinary discussion. This format supports both focused exchange within individual fields and conversations about wider changes in public communication, learning, culture, and society.
2026 edition
The 13th edition was held online on 15–16 May 2026. Its programme connected education sciences, journalism, communication, literature, cultural memory, public relations, digital media, and emerging research on artificial intelligence.
The 2026 conference agenda, programmes from earlier editions, and published proceedings are available in the conference archive.
