Founded in March 2007, the Center for Administrative, Cultural and Economic Studies (CSACE) aims to contribute to the development of theoretical and applied studies regarding institutions and administrative, cultural and economic processes. It will investigate both the structural-functional and historic dimensions of these institutions and processes, their interaction with other institutions and social structures, and their management in relationship with evolving global trends. Having an interdisciplinary vocation, CSACE will support master and doctoral level study programs of the Bucharest University, as well as post-graduate training programs run by the Department of Administration and Business.

CSACE provides research and expertise to interested partners, and is open for cooperation with scholars and academic institutions worldwide.
