What We Do

The research center bearing Grigore Gafencu`s name is focusing on research and study of the history of the European international relations, an area of investigation covered with specialists and young researchers for the period starting with the mid-19th century and focused on the 20th century. The center has already been involved in a number of national research grants founded by the Romanian Ministry of Education and in international grants. The center is also issuing its own review, Valahian Journal of Historical Studies, which has been opened ever since its inception to the voluntary contributions of fellow researchers from all around Europe and beyond.

Additionally, the center has been engaged from the very beginning in developing connections with other European institutions of research. Thus far, the center and its members are involved in academic exchanges with such universities from Finland (University of Helsinki and University of Turku), France (Universite de Poitiers, Universite de Savoie), Greece (University Democritus of Komotini), Italy (Universite ca Foscari di Venezia) and Spain (Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha). The center is aiming at maintaining and developing these fruitful contacts and to promote new ones with other prestigious institutions of research at academic level whose scopes are similar and bordering its purposes.

About Us

"Grigore Gafencu" Research Center for the the History of International Relations and Cultural Studies, although young, is in terms of staff members and young researchers one of the best represented such research center in the Valahia University of Targoviste. The purpose of the center is to pay a quality tribute to the memory and activity of the prestigious Romanian diplomat and analyst Grigore Gafencu (1892-1957). A former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Romania (1938-1940) and his country`s envoy to Soviet Union in the fateful years of 1940-1941, Gafencu has moved to Switzerland since 1941. In exile, Gafencu wrote one of the earliest books approaching the causes of the World War II (Preliminaires de la Guerre a l'est. De l'accord de Moscou (23 Aout 1939) aux hostilites en Russie (22 Juin 1941), Egloff, Friburg, 1944), providing an exceptional insight on those troubling European events. The conclusion Gafencu drew from the developments leading to World War II has played their part in making him an active supporter of the ideas of European unity.
