to the Romanian Academy of Scientists in 2024

Since in 2024 elections will take place at the level of the leadership of the sections, branches and leadership of the A.O.S.R., the calendar dates corresponding to the submission, analysis and approval of the files for honorary member, corresponding member and full member are modified as follows:

  • Applications for the reception/promotion of A.O.S.R. members must be submitted by 22 February 2024, according to the instructions on the website aosr.ro, under “Members”.
  • Applicants submit the documents to the Secretariat General of the AOSR, where they are registered and the existence of all the necessary documents is verified. A file that has not been approved in one of the previous years can be updated and resubmitted if participation in the new intake/promotion session is desired.
  • By 1 March, the Presidium of the AOSR examines the files submitted and, depending on the number of vacancies, forwards the files and the number of places allocated to them to the Presidents of the sections.
  • In the following 30 days, General Assemblies of the sections are held, where the candidates for each allocated seat are discussed, endorsed and approved by secret ballot. General Assemblies of the Sections are held physically at the AOSR headquarters and those of the Branches at their headquarters. The quorum required is 2/3 of the total number of full, corresponding and honorary members. If at the first convocation a quorum is not reached, the General Assembly shall be reconvened and shall be held according to the statutes with the number of members present. For full members, only full members vote, for corresponding and honorary members, full, corresponding and honorary members vote, and for associate members, all members of the section vote: full, corresponding, honorary, associate and honorary. The minutes of the General Assembly of the Section shall be communicated to the Secretariat of the AOSR within 24 hours of the date of the General Assembly of the Section.
  • In order to be admissible, candidates’ applications for full membership must obtain a simple majority of the votes of the full members present.
  • In order to be admitted, the application of candidates for honorary and corresponding membership must be approved by a simple majority vote of the full, honorary and corresponding members. This rule is also used when approving honorary members from abroad.
