The Romanian Academy (Romanian: Academia Română) is a cultural forum founded in Romania in 1866. It covers the scientific, artistic and literary domains. The academy has 181 acting members who are elected for life.
According to its bylaws, the academy's main goals are the cultivation of Romanian language and Romanian literature, the study of the national history of Romania and research into major scientific domains. Some of the academy's fundamental projects are the Romanian language dictionary (Dicţionarul explicativ al limbii române), the dictionary of Romanian literature, and the treatise on the history of the Romanian people.
