Gaudeamus. Alma Mater Crisiensis is currently a scientific and cultural journal with a long tradition at the University of Oradea and the Faculty of Letters, dedicated to disseminating the results of young researchers in the field of philology. Since 2022 the journal has taken on an exclusively scientific character, appears without interruption, and publishes annually current contributions to philological research, selected through a double-blind peer-review process. The journal is published under the auspices of the University of Oradea Press, which is accredited by the CNCS in the field of Philology since 2011.
As detailed in the monograph *The Journal "Gaudeamus. Alma Mater Crisiensis" After 50 Years* [1st foto from the left], this is the first academic journal in Oradea “published between 1968 and 1973 […] under the auspices of the Association of Student Councils and under the direction of the former three-year Pedagogical Institute [...]. The actual management of the journal was entrusted to Sever Dumitraşcu [...]” (Bungău 9).
Fifty years after its first issue, the professors emeriti who supported the magazine’s publication prior to the 1989 Anti-Comunist Revolution edited a jubilee issue, which references all historical data related to the magazine’s launch, as well as the cultural figures who contributed with materials over the years: https://media.uoradea.ro/article1678-Revista-Gaudeamus-dup%C4%83-50-de-ani.

Thematically, the journal has an inter- and transdisciplinary focus, covering fields such as literary and cultural theory, comparative literature, linguistics, translation studies (Romanian, English, German, French), and the theory of communication and specialized languages. Research endevours at the intersection of philology and contemporary forms of cultural expression, as well as in transdisciplinary fields involving the social and natural sciences, offer young researchers a space for inter- and transdisciplinary academic dialogue within a national and international framework that promotes innovation and originality.
