- Romanian Cultural Institute
The Romanian Cultural Institute (Romanian: "Institutul Cultural Român", abbreviation: "ICR") is a state-funded institution that promotes Romanian culture and civilization in Romania and abroad. The ICR was formerly set up through reorganization of the Romanian Cultural Foundation and Romanian Cultural Publishing Foundation. ICR is under the authority of the Romanian president who is honorary president of ICR.
In period 2005-2008 the institute intends to work through projects, and will also organise public contests in which contestants will be evaluated by an independent commission. A priority for ICR is to look on Romanian speaking communities in neighboring countries. From 1992, ICR is organising summer courses for improving language skills of personnel that teach Romanian in their respective countries.
A subsidiary of ICR in Cluj-Napoca, The Center for Transylvanian Studies, concentrates its activity on studying Transylvanian issues.
