The chapter presents case studies of cultural and educational entities in Timisoara that could be labelled as best practice. The state universities in the city have organized programs either in the framework of Timisoara ECoC 2023 or by including events scheduled in 2023 in their cultural agendas. Then, a theatre project– site-specific, immersive, using local mapping. The project has grown branches into the legacy of the Timisoara ECoC.
