One of the most important events of the project is the scientific conference themed “B.P.Hasdeu – A Century of Immortality”, to take place on Tuesday at the Cahul-based State University B.P. Hasdeu. The local academic community and students as well as scholars from Chisinau are expected to take part in the conference. The project Hasdeu Days in Cahul is implemented by the Association for Cooperation and Democratic Communication DIALOG, Cahul, with financial support of the Romanian Cultural Institute. Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu was a Romanian writer and philologist, who pioneered many branches of Romanian philology and history. Hasdeu is considered to have been able to understand 26 languages and freely converse in many of them.
