DESCRIPTION
OF THE ORGANISATION
EuroEd Foundation aims at supporting the reform processes of civic society by promoting high-quality standards in accordance with European Community requirements in the field of education, civil society, public policies, youth, law, culture, mass media, and regional development. Through its initiatives, EuroEd Foundation intend to act as a regional catalyst for debating and developing regional and international projects which should facilitate exchange of ideas and experience in the field of democracy and European Integration.

EuroEd Foundation came into being as an organisation in 1992 with the support of the Soros Foundation and the British Council Romania. EuroEd Foundation is a non-profit organisation located in Iasi, Romania. Until 1995 our name was International House and our efforts were concentrated on offering language courses. In 1995 we became the International Language Centre and expanded our portfolio by founding the Kindergarten (1995) and the Primary School (1997). In 1998, also as a result of constantly growing services and addressability, we founded two more departments: the Regional Centre for Education and Communication, and the Centre for European Integration. Since 2000 our name is EuroEd Foundation, a symbol of our overall approach.

With passion, professionalism and consistency, we have gained the statute of being the most important non-governmental educational institution in north-eastern Romania. We are a founder member of QUEST (The Romanian Association for Quality Language Services), which is an associate member of EAQUALS (the European Association for Quality Language Services). Our projects have been awarded European distinctions of the highest level.
