On February 10, 2022, the international scientific conference Cultural Transfer in the United Europe was held in the virtual space, organized by the Department of Romance Studies of the Faculty of Arts of the Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica as part of the Erasmus+Jean Monnet Module project: Cultural Transfer in the United Europe: differences, challenges and perspectives (CULTUrE). The conference was attended by lecturers from the Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, as well as colleagues from five Slovak and five foreign universities.
