Through participation, through the involvement of leading personalities in each field, through the complexity

The 2021 AOSR Autumn Scientific Meeting proved to be a major science and
Romanian research, an undeniable academic success.

In this context, the President of the Academy of Romanian Scientists, prof. univ. dr. eng. Adrian
Badea, said: “The recently concluded conference, like the others so far, advocates the quality
research carried out in our institution, for its high level, competitive at European level and
international, for the scientific and academic potential of the AOSR. All this is confirmed, by the way,
objectively by constantly placing our Academy in honourable positions in scientific rankings
prestigious international journals such as Scimago Elsevier. We regret those arbitrary and unfair measures launched
in the public space and in some political circles, which have struck and continue to strike at our institution, AOSR
continues its activity along the lines of quality and excellence, as established by its founders, scholars and great personalities of Romanian science and research, in 1935 and afterwards. We are an important academic institution in Romania, with a history and a tradition that cannot be challenged, let alone cancelled. We want our institution to be respected for what it is, for the quality and value of its work, which it demonstrates through its scientific events, activities and projects.”

We believe that we must always return to the event of 24 January, not formally and festively, but through an act of substantial scientific reflection on the premises, framework, processes, personalities and meanings of the great historical act, which still offers us a great lesson in history.”
