Romanian ACM Chapter

The chapter

A chapter of the world's largest computing society.

The Association for Computing Machinery was founded in 1947 to give information, ideas and discovery a place to circulate between professionals and students in computing. It is the world's leading organisation for computing professionals, with more than 100,000 members worldwide, and its overarching goal is to advance computing as a science and a profession.

The Romanian Chapter was chartered by ACM's Chief Operating Officer on 14 January 2015. It is operated exclusively for educational and scientific purposes within Romania, and it exists to connect the country's computing community to the society's work — and to each other.

Purpose, per Article II

An increased knowledge of and greater interest in the science, design, development, construction, languages, management and applications of modern computing.
Greater interest in computing and its applications.
