Society for Romanian Studies (SRS)

The Society for Romanian Studies is an inter-disciplinary academic organization founded in 1973 to promote professional study, criticism, and research on all aspects of Romanian culture and civilization, particularly concerning the countries of Romania and Moldova.

The society holds annual meetings to promote Romanian studies, generally in conjunction with the meetings of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies, publishes a newsletter to keep its membership informed, and carries out other activities designed to foster advancement of the field. In addition, the SRS sponsors a periodic International Congress on Romanian Studies. The first of these was held at the Sorbonne in Paris (1986), the second at the University of Iasi (1993), the third at the University of Cluj (1997), and the fourth at the University of Suceava (2001). The fifth International 2007 Congress was held in Constanta.
