​The Cultural Department promotes Israel’s vibrant culture and lifestyle in Romania.

Every year we collaborate with numerous cultural institutions and leading Israeli artists to take part in a vast array of events in areas such as: theatre, cinema, music, literature, plastic arts and more.

Israel is a culturally active country with a heterogeneous population. Four thousands of years and more than half a century of modern statehood, the Jewish heritage has contributed to a culture which has already created an identity of its own, while preserving the uniqueness of 70 different communities. A largely immigrant society, Israel’s creative expression has absorbed many different cultural and social influences, as it blends tradition and innovation and strives to steer a course between Israeli particularism and universalism. The Israeli cultural identity is presented creatively in a broad range of art forms, appreciated and enjoyed by many people around the world. 

The mission of the academic affairs activity is to foster cooperation between the academic community and institutions in Romania and the ones in Israel.

The academic cooperation between Romania and Israel falls under the provisions stipulated in the Programme of Cultural, Educational and Scientific Cooperation signed by the Governments of the both countries. Cooperation among universities and higher education institutions, exchanges of students and professors, and organizing courses concerning Holocaust to the Yad Vashem Museum in Israel are some of the activities encouraged under the framework of this agreement.
