Who we are

Launched in July 2004, The Ratiu Center operates some 20 not-for-profit programs annually in Romania and abroad. With initial support provided by leading faculty members at Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania (founded 1581) and the trustees of the Ratiu Family Foundation, London, United Kingdom (founded 1979), The Ratiu Center’s priorities today include partnering with like-minded institutions and colleagues worldwide, particularly in countries in transition to democracy.
