Partners

The goal of Aspen Institute Romania’s partnerships is to promote a concerted effort towards common goals and the exchange of ideas and expertise, in accordance with the Institute’s mission of fostering values-based leadership and reflecting on what represents the good society. To do so, Aspen Institute Romania has established throughout the years partnerships with key stakeholders in Romanian society, including public authorities, NGOs, think-tanks, universities and business chambers. These partnerships help us facilitate a transparent, responsible and non-partisan reflection process, between public decision-makers, private stakeholders and representatives of the non-governmental and academic sectors and greatly contribute to the success of our policy and leadership programs as well as our public events.
