The King’s War

Community Links created a communication and promotion platform for the documentary The King's War among the students in history and political sciences from the University of Bucharest and The National School of Political Studies and Public Administration.

The film, based on exclusive images and interviews with King Michael of Romania, the last head of state remained alive since the Second World War, presents the life of King Michael from childhood to the central point of the documentary, the arms return by Romania against the Axis powers, a historical moment whose central figure was King Michael.

The documentary, produced and directed by Trevor Poots and John Florescu, brings to light unpublished documents from Romanian and foreign archives and benefits of the historical consultation of Matei Cazacu, one of the most important Romanian historians, and of other Romanian and foreign experts in recent history.

With the help of Community Links, the documentary was presented to the students in history and political sciences from both universities who had the opportunity to debate over the topic with the production team, professors and eye witnesses in order to learn more about the making of the documentary and about the political context of that time.

Thales participated at InnoTrans 2018 exhibition in Berlin with a revolutionary booth allowing visitors to imagine what the future looks like and to actually be part of it.

Pepper, the robot, was awarded the most popular host, charismatically introducing Lite4ce, the new fibre optical technology which enables sensors on the rail to safely detect a variety of parameters, such as quality of the wheels, the speed and weight of vehicles as well as the number of passengers in each wagon.
Thales Group, No. 1 worldwide in driverless metro signalling and No. 1 worldwide in communication systems for rail networks, has embarked on digitalizing railway transportation, paving the way for autonomous railway operations. With the autonomous trains, Thales gives eyes to trains – advanced sensors that give the train a full perception of its environment. And then, Thales combines it with artificial intelligence – the train’s brain – to allow them to run on the network in full autonomy.
