Romanian Academic Network is the group of evangelicals, PhD students, researchers, or teachers, working in the academic field in Romania. This group focuses on what we believe to be the most influential institution in the world today: the university. It is an urgency for the evangelical movement in Europe to develop teachers and researchers who will become experts in their field of study, to demonstrate academic excellence, to have a Christian perspective on life and to be unreservedly dedicated to serving God in educational settings.
Vision
To promote excellence in teaching and research among evangelical academics in Romania.
To recognize and respond to the problems affecting today’s Europe and its evangelical population.
To prepare Christian academics in Europe who can convincingly communicate the Christian perspective on life in a pluralistic setting, as well as its biblical basis.
To help evangelical Christians affirm the strategic value of education as a holy calling and mission.
To encourage academics to get involved in both the church and society, through an interaction based on knowledge and discernment towards those who hold conflicting views in the academic field.
To present the beauty of the call to be a teacher to young evangelicals and to encourage them to consider this vocation.
To form groups based on research interests and to support each other in the publication activity (e.g. ResearchGate.net).
To support each other in prayer.
