We were founded in 2017 in order to develop knowledge, science, and research infrastructure in Făgăraș area, Romania. We are a membership based organization, having at the moment more than 70 members in our network, one employee and 9 volunteers. Our budget in 2019 was 35.000 euros coming from the European Commission and private foundations. We focus in our activities on research, conferences, events, courses, summer school, etc. Our main partners are local, national, and global stakeholders.
We envisage a community that is well informed and that understands both – the challenges it confronts and its own potential.
The Făgăraș Research Institute supports the development of innovation, knowledge and science in the Țara Făgărașului area by conducting research, policy analysis and delivering educational programs.
Our objectives include contributing to our understanding of how knowledge impacts development, connecting our region to national and global knowledge networks and building premises for interdisciplinary activities as well as interconnections between researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, and communities.
We are developing within the Institute an International Center for Global Affairs and Postdevelopment driving our activities on international relations and international development.
We are currently implementing projects focused on youth and research, COVID-19 and its impact on society, human rights and freedom of speech, civil society sector sustainability, and migration, diaspora and development.
We are in process of developing further projects on Turkey-EU relations, Africa - CEE and EU relations, and others.
We are an Institute focused on research and on bringing together different stakeholders that use knowledge in their work. We can, therefore, contribute by generating analysis, doing research, organizing courses, contributing to policy initiatives and other civil-society partnerships.
Furthermore, we see ALF Network in Romania being key in building on the political, business and historical relations Romania has with MENA countries, in order to strengthen links and partnerships between MENA and Romanian civil society and research organizations.
We aim to join ALF Network in order to contribute to strenthening the relations between Romania, EU and MENA countries.
Furthermore, we are interested in meeting organizations with similar interests and building partnerships and joint projects, especially in areas of research, policy, youth and communities.
