Romanian Academic Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Romanian Academic Society (Societatea Academică Română in Romanian) is a Bucharest-based think tank and NGO founded in 1996, which seeks "to contribute to good governance and development through policy research and advocacy", among other goals, such as European integration for Romania and enhancement of public dialogue with the government. It is considered close to the right wing of politics.[1]
The current president of the Society is Alina Mungiu-Pippidi. The other Board members are Aurora Liiceanu, Ana Maria Sandi, Andrei Pleşu, Ioan Popa, Sorin Vieru, and Daniel Dăianu.
The Romanian Academic Society should not be confused with the Romanian Academy, a government-funded body that regulates the Romanian language and promotes Romanian culture and literature. The usage of the words "Academic" and "Romanian" is restricted by Romanian law.
