Alianța Națională a Organizațiilor Studențești din România (ANOSR)

The first and most representative national student federation in Romania The ANOSR movement started back in 1995, but only became structured in 1998, when student’s leaders felt a lack of a central and efficient co-ordination. That’s why in April the 4th 1999, in Timișoara, during the International Student Week, the first General Assembly meeting took place, where 24 organisations from all over the country participated. The only national student federation recognised at a european level In october 2002, ANOSR has become a full members of the European Students Union (ESU). As an ESU full member, ANOSR has the support of representative federations from all of the European states. ANOSR, as the only Romanian member of ESU, has now the chance to work and cooperate with European institutions that deal with youth and education policies, such as the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of Europe, as well as institutions that deal with educational issues such as EUA, ENQUA, or Erasmus Student Network. ANOSR gathers 130 student organisations, many of them set up immediately after the Revolution that took part in Romania in 1989.
