Calendar of events for the period September 27-30 in Bucharest

Romania’s national women’s handball team beat France 23-21 (15-7) in the first semifinal of the GF World Cup, taking place in Aarhus, Denmark. Last year, the Romania team won the final, after beating Norway.

The International Monetary Fund Friday approved the disbursement of around EUR 900 million to Romania, following a new review of the country's performance under a EUR13 billion standby agreement.

Portuguese singer Misia, who is considered one of the best voices of fado music and a worthy descendant of Amalia Rodriguez, will perform on November 29 at the National Opera in Bucharest. The event is organized by the Embassy of Portugal in Romania and the Plai Festival.

The recently – released top 500 Universities in the World didn't include any Romanian university, but local universities could improve their ranking in the future, says James Moulder, a retired business school academic from Melbourne, Australia. He believes that an establishment of mentoring and coaching relationships with foreign universities of higher rank can be a solution.

Romania stands high chances in Friday's International Monetary Fund (IMF) analysis of the fifth evaluation mission report on country meeting its obligations assumed in the Stand-By Agreement with the Fund, so the Supplementary Letter of Intent will be positive, Romania's representative to the Fund Mihai Tanasescu told Agerpres.
