| Ovidiu Emil Iudean – Researcher at the “Babeș-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca. His scientific interests revolve around the history of parliamentarianism in Dualist Hungary, electoral phenomena, and nation-building strategy, focusing on the establishment of a Romanian middle class in Transylvania between the mid-19th and early 20th century. He obtained his PhD in 2013 with a thesis on the Romanian pro-governmental representatives in the Budapest Parliament. He has been part of several research grants focusing on the political elites in Transleithania and their parliamentary activity. His more recent preoccupations concern the study of national mechanisms that laid the basis for the formation of a Romanian middle class in Transylvania during the Dualist period, with emphasis on the shift in priority from educating mid-level clergymen to supporting Law students. In addition to a series of studies focusing on the abovementioned issues, his research has recently materialized in the volume The Romanian Governmental Representatives in the Budapest Parliament 1881-1918 (Mega, 2017) and his contribution to the volume coordinated by prof. Judith Pál, Parliamentary Elections in Eastern Hungary and Transylvania 1865-1918 (Peter Lang, 2017).

His scientific interest lies with Romanian history of the 19th and early 20th centuries – in particular history of Transylvania –, history of elites, and employment of computer science in historical research. He led two research grants: a post-doctoral grant focusing on the Romanian political elite in Transylvania and Hungary prior to 1918, and a “team of young researchers” grant: Collective Actors in Modern Age Transylvania (1850-1918). Romanian Elite Groups in Historical Perspective. Within the framework of the latter he is currently building a database of Romanian upper- and middleclass representatives involved in politics, banking system, scholarly and cultural societies, church and school life, in an attempt to recreate as much as possible of the social networks that cemented the Romanian civil society in Transylvania and Hungary before 1918. Among his latest publications worth mentioning is a volume co-edited with Judit Pál (Elites and Politics in Central and Eastern Europe (1848-1918), Peter Lang, 2014), and an extensive prosopographical and election results catalogue to which he is co-author (J.Pál et alii, Parliamentary Elections in Eastern Hungary and Transylvania 1865-1918, Peter Lang, 2017).
