Programul Fulbright în România În�in�at în 1946 la ini�iativa Senatorului James William Fulbright, Programul Fulbright este menit s� dezvolte rela�iile de în�elegere reciproc� dintre poporul american �i popoarele altor ��ri, prin schimbul de persoane, de cunoa�tere �i de experien�� �tiin�i�c� �i cultural�. Programul pune la dispozi�ie fonduri destinate studiilor universitare, pred�rii, cercet�rii �i schimburilor culturale.

Începând din 1960, odat� cu aplicarea lui în România, Programul Fulbright a asigurat �i men�inut contacte intelectuale, educa�ionale �i culturale extrem de utile �i bene�ce între cele dou� ��ri. Potrivit ultimelor date statistice din Raportul anual FSB, între 1960 �i 2012 au participat la aceste schimburi 1976 de români �i 1026 de americani.

Dup� 1990, schimburile Fulbright s-au dezvoltat constant, jucând un rol important în sus�inerea reformelor democratice �i economice din România. Începând din mai 1993, Programul Fulbright este administrat de Comisia Fulbright Româno-American�, în�in�at� potrivit Acordului bilateral dintre cele dou� guverne, reprezentate de Departamentul de Stat al Statelor Unite �i Ministerul Afacerilor Externe din România.

The Fulbright Program in Romania Established in 1946 at the initiative of Senator James William Fulbright, the Fulbright Program is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries, through the exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills. The Program provides funding for graduate studies, research, university teaching and cultural exchanges.

Since 1960, when it �rst came to Romania, the Fulbright Program has provided and maintained most useful and bene�cial intellectual, educational and cultural contacts between the two countries. According to the latest FSB Annual Report, from 1960 to 2012, 1976 Romanians and 1026 Americans participated in the program.

After 1990, Fulbright exchanges have constantly expanded, playing an important role in assisting the democratic and economic reforms in Romania. Since May 1993, the Fulbright Program has been administered by the Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission, established in accordance with the bilateral agreement between the two Governments, represented by the U.S. Department of State and the Romanian Ministry of Foreign A�airs.
