After a (too) long time of silence I am coming back to you with some news on recent developments. First, I am fine, living in Sibiu and Bucharest, developed some new web projects (including this one) and many more are to come soon (together with my partner Alex Cocieru). Though I am thinking of getting back to Germany some time (for e.g. making a PhD in Economics) there are still plenty of things to do in Romania…
So, after these first impressions, let’s start with what happend last year after I finished my thesis on the economy of Romania in Summer. To make the long story short: I found a job in a Romanian online agency in Sibiu, which is setting up several eCommerce projects. I accompany these setups, take care of internal procedures, are currently more or less fully dedicated to the development management of a social network, do economic research and guide market studies for the other projects. By the way: you cand find me daily at Supporter, my favorite hangout in Sibiu during day time. Last but not least, I have some personal projects.
The first one, is Romania Central, an online portal dedicated to Romania with a strong focus on the economy of Romania. Though, I am currently working on other sections like tourism, too.
Romania Central
The main idea is not only to comment on recent developments (News section) in the economy of Romania, but to provide also a great deal of background information (these are to be found in the economy section – that is my entire thesis actually). The country profile section captures some essential data on Romania, ranging from location, key economic data, history and politics to some cultural issues. The tourism section, which is currently extended shows some cities in Romania and things worth sightseeing. A preview is to be found in the pictures from Bucharest page. The business section will be implemented lateron, while the link directory provides some useful resorces concerning Romania and business there. Romania Central is written entirely in English and I will keep it this way.
However, another project, currently to be completed is Sozialwissenschaften Online. Other than Romania Central, this site is entirely in German language and you are invited to contribute. Main contents so far are my term papers, presentations and scripts from RWTH Aachen, University of Technology.
Sozialwissenschaften Online
As you hopefully remember I studied sociology, political sciences and mainly economics, always having a focus on quantitative methods and statistics. After I was adressed several times by students I didn’t even know that they liked reading my scripts I thought it might be useful to give them way to web.
As there are currently only my articles to be found the main focus is of quantitative style, while the topics range from Antisemitism, Collecative Action and public Goods, to neoconservatism (Robert Kagan) and demographics. Also the famous history of Sociolgy (lecture held by Mr. Hammerich) is to be found there, neither should the cartoon controversy be ommitted. So, in order to repeat myself: you are invited to contribute your papers, scripts and articles. A single condition is that they are readable like articles and of some value to people who did not attend the lectures themselves. I will edit them for online publishing, if you want, you can have also an editor account 
However, this blog could count as a third project. As you might know that <irony>I am a more quiet person and rarely express my opinion even if I am asked</irony> you probablly know what will happen here. Beside notes on my life you will find liberal comments on what happens in the world
While there is no money in all this, I am furthermore working with my partner Alex Cocieru on several eCommerce projects. But that is another story which remains to be told soon. Best regards and see you soon
