Professor Geremia Bolli, from Perugia University, the award recipient, would then give a lecture to conclude the event. Paulescu of publicly known anti-Semitic activities. On August 26, Nicolas Weill published an editorial article in Le Monde quoting the titles of anti-semitic publications written by N. Paulescu International Prize.
Paulescu did publish several articles against the Jews, which are regrettable from all points of view…Nevertheless, Nicolae Paulescu's personal opinions did not result in any violent actions in the social sphere, and he himself never participated in any action that might have brought accusations of guilt. These will be scrutinised by an independent committee. The IDF does not wish to mix science and politics.
Bartsocas, Spyros G. However, in the closing lecture Zvi-Laron angrily denounced the anti-semitism of Paulescu and his influence on the terrible events of the Romanian holocaust.
At the end of the meeting, the organizers did not issue an official statement about the symposium's contents. The vote, announced in the program, was cancelled. Three years later, Prof. For Laron, it was unquestionable that Paulescu deserved no homage. By contrast, he should be criticized for his contribution to the darkest pages of Romanian history. Nicolae Paulescu was in many aspects a follower of creationism.
He was opposed to both spontaneous generation and Darwinism; an Orthodox Christian, he expressed anti-masonic and anti-semitic viewpoints. While it is fair to criticize Paulescu for his aberrant political views, his extraordinary contribution to science should not therefore go unrecognized. Its director, Prof. Constantin Ionescu-Tirgoviste, a biographer of Paulescu, has spent a lot of time attempting to vindicate the Romanian researcher before the international community.

Emil Racovita was a Romanian biologist, zoologist and speleologist. He is considered the founder of biospeleology. Racovita was the first Romanian who went on a scientific research expedition to the Antarctic, aboard the ship Belgica.
He was also an influential professor, scholar and researcher. He died in in Cluj, Romania. Henri Marie Coanda was a Romanian inventor, aerodynamics pioneer and airplane builder. In , he designed and built an experimental aircraft known as the Coanda — Henri Coanda died in Bucharest on November 25, at the age of Bucharest's Henri Coanda International Airport is named after him.
Aurel Vlaicu and Traian Vuia are two other Romanian engineers who have played an important role as pioneers in aerodynamics and aviation. The model was made together with Tanase Dobrescu. The invention was successfully tested on a French airport airport in August The experiment was then repeated in Romania, at the Baneasa Airport in Bucharest.
It was also a success. Today, landing on the moon might not be a spectacular event anymore. But when it happened for the first time, it was an extraordinary success of humankind. Oberth is seen as one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics, together with Russian, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, and the American Robert Goddard.
In , Oberth conducted an experiment on his first liquid-fuelled rocket motor, helped by then student Wernher von Braun, who had his first contact with rocketry and space travel thanks to Oberth. The latter became a genius of rocket engineering, his work culminating in the creation of the Saturn V rocket that made Moon landings possible.
