"Originally the word - cadet - meant the young man (the son of a nobleman or of an officer) who prepared for a military career. Cadet INOVA proposes an encounter with nobility too: a nobility of the spirit of those who "burn" in the realm of scientific creation, who have chosen this path not for financial comfort or public recognition, but because they know that this is their purpose in the world and because they feel that in this way they can serve not only their homeland, but the whole humankind. Cadet INOVA is rooted in serious, constant and lasting preoccupation for scientific research, in the lessons offered by those who have raised the scientific bar to the level of performance, in the need to provide support, recognition and legitimacy to the notable achievements of young thinkers. It represents the mouth piece of bright minds polished in years of study, which went from potential to performance and which are able to certify that quality and professionalism will always make a difference." (Inventor dr. ing. dipl. Silviu Mihai Petrişor, President of the Cadet INOVA Exhibition)

"Cadet INOVA 2017, a trademark of OSIM Bucharest, number M 143894, brings into focus - within the In memoriam section - an emblematic figure of the universal scientific patrimony, who set her existential coordinates around the verbs to give and to give herself to others: Ana ASLAN. She created and implemented, at national level, the concept of ""prevention of aging"; she founded and led the first Institute of Geriatrics in the world, in Otopeni and her famous name is engraved on the mausoleum of the father of medicine, Hippocrates, in Larissa, Thessaly (Greece)." (Inventor dr. ing. dipl. Silviu Mihai Petrişor, President of the Cadet INOVA Exhibition)

"To be forever young does not mean to be 20, it means to be optimistic, to feel good, to have an ideal in life to fight for in order to achieve it." (Gerontologist Inventor Acad. Prof. Ana ASLAN, MD, PhD)

"Professor Cernomazu is evidence that in Romanian education there is a contrast between the unpredictable variability of the teachers and the relative stability of the system. Convinced that the mathematical descriptions of nature are not truths or models, engineer Cernomazu puts great emphasis on the experiment, develops energy and electrotechnical laboratories, conceives laboratory papers and invents experimental stands. An exceptional professor of exemplary modesty with a vast encyclopaedic culture knows how to work both with pupils and PhD students, managing to inspire the spirit so necessary for the creator of new. Academic activity in Professor Cernomaz's concept is actually responsability, assumption of a creed and its application. Mentorship comes from generosity, comes from the belief that you can change something, by giving. The professor has given up to bureaucratic activity over the last few years, refused all the functions he was offered, fled to the lab, and continued doing what he knew best." (Inventor Prof. Eng. Dipl. Dan Laurenţiu Milici, PhD, Ştefan cel Mare University of Suceava)

"Cadet INOVA 2019, a trademark of O.S.I.M. Bucharest (State Office for Inventions and Trademarks), number M 143894, brings into focus ― within the In memoriam section ― an emblematic figure of our nation, the first female engineer in the world, the first female member of the General Association of the Engineers in Romania, head of the laboratories of the Geological Institute of Romania, the sister of engineer Dimitrie Leonida: Scientific Researcher, Diplomate Engineer Professor Elisa LEONIDA ZAMFIRESCU. She focused on the testing of drinking water, signing over 85,000 analysis bulletins which were published in the Economic Studies series, edited by the Geological Institute of Romania. Her contribution to the research of Romania's mineral richness resulted in numerous published scientific monographs, patents and scientific articles, occupying a place of honor in the gallery of the great figures of the national, European and world science."

"Cadet INOVA 2020, a trademark of O.S.I.M. Bucharest (the State Office for Inventions and Trademarks), number M 143894, brings into focus ― within the In memoriam section ― two emblematic figures of the Romanian creation and innovation ― inventors, scientists, geniuses ― diplomat engineer George (Gogu) CONSTANTINESCU (04.10.1881-12.12.1965) and academician diplomat engineer Henri COANDĂ (07.06.1886-25.11.1972). At the UN headquarters in New York, at the library on the 32nd floor, it is mentioned that Romania is ranked second in the world within the Creation and Creativity Section. The first three nominees are: Traian Vuia, Gogu Constantinescu and Constantin Brâncuşi. In 1926, the British magazine "The Graphic" published a picture with the scientific personalities from 1900-1925 and the inventor Gogu Constantinescu is mentioned among the "17 pioneers in the way of progress", along with Einstein, Kelvin, Graham Bell, Edison, Marconi, Marie Currie etc." (Inventor eng. dipl. Silviu Mihai Petrişor, PhD, President of the Cadet INOVA Exhibition)

"Henri Coandă is an aviation pioneer, a physicist and the inventor of the jet engine. He is also the discoverer of the effect that bears his name today. After graduating from high school in 1903, he first experienced the rigors of the Military School for Artillery, Engineering and Navy Officers in Bucharest and then went to Germany, to the Technische Hochschule in Charlottenburg, where he obtained his doctoral degree in Engineering Sciences. He eventually left the army, which did not fit with his education of inventor and with his creative spirit. This time he left for France where he enlisted in the Higher School of Aeronautics. He finished his courses the following year as valedictorian and then began his career with the well-known French engineer Gustave Eiffel, with whom he would become friends. In 1910 he created and tested the world's first jet aircraft — called "Coandă 1910", which he also presented at the International Aeronautical Show in Paris. That same year he observed a phenomenon that would be called the "Coandă effect", which is, in fact, the invention that made him famous. The discovery would be patented later, only in 1934, under the name "method and apparatus for deviation of a fluid into another fluid.” ”Throughout his entire activity, Henri Coandă was the author of 250 patents for inventions in various fields. He also received honorary titles, among which that of member of the Royal Aeronautical Society of London and that of member of the Romanian Academy. He also received the title of Doctor Honoris Causa of the Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest, where he will reorganize the Aeronautical Engineering Deparment in 1971, together with academician Elie Carafoli."

I knew it would hold up!” (A/N the bridge of Cernavodă)  (Acad. prof. eng. dipl. Anghel SALIGNY)

"Although my family was born from the waters of the Loire and then wandered through the world, we have always been loyal, so if a country has given us asylum and has recognized us as her citizens, we cannot betray her." (A/N Romania) (Acad. prof. eng. dipl. Anghel SALIGNY)

"Cadet INOVA 2021, a trademark of O.S.I.M. Bucharest (the State Office for Inventions and Trademarks), number M 143894, brings into focus ― within the In memoriam section ―an emblematic figure of the Romanian creation and innovation ― the inventor, scientist, genius, academician diplomat engineer Anghel SALIGNY (19.04.1854 -17.06.1925). Anghel Saligny is one of the most important Romanian engineers, and his merits are recognized worldwide due to the innovations he brought in the world of civil engineering. Anghel Saligny was a remarkable construction engineer, a world pioneer of the science of metal and reinforced concrete constructions, a maker of multiple inventions and unique solutions in the design and construction of bridges and industrial constructions for the foundation of port quays and docks as well as wheat silos by using precast concrete, all these for the first time in the world. During the construction of the bridge of Cernavodă, Saligny used, for the first time in the world, beams with brackets for the superstructure of the bridge and mild steel for the decks. The works lasted less than five years. The official inauguration took place on September 26, 1895, and the event was attended not only by King Carol I, but also by many other leaders of the country. The most important moment of the day was the testing of the resistance of the bridge by means of a convoy of 15 heavy locomotives. Convinced of the quality of his construction, Saligny and other ordinary workers boarded a boat that he anchored just below the bridge. Basically, Saligny guaranteed the quality of the bridge with his own life and the convoy of locomotives passed safely on the other bank of the Danube."  (Inventor eng. dipl. Silviu Mihai Petrişor, PhD, President of the Cadet INOVA Exhibition)

"I see engineering as a source of lucid analysis, of permanent creation of authentic technique, of accomplishment of things and new solutions for the good of today and future generations. And engineers, together with inventors and scientists, are the landmarks of modern society, of the society of the future." (Prof. Em. Eng. Dipl. D.H.C. Mircea Bejan, PhD, Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences, Doctor Honoris Causa of the" Nicolae Bălcescu "Land Forces Academy of Sibiu)

"Through deep and logical thinking, through inventiveness and orderly work, engineers are first and foremost creators of material goods making a major contribution to the development of civilization, the development of science and technology. And results are seen in the present and future civilization." (Prof. Em. Eng. Dipl. D.H.C. Mircea Bejan, PhD, Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences, Doctor Honoris Causa of the" Nicolae Bălcescu "Land Forces Academy of Sibiu)
