The Publishing House of România de Mâine Foundation, a member of the Romanian Publishers Association (AER), was established in 1992 within SC Mass Media România de Mâine, as an integral part of the Foundation bearing the same name. It has a scientific and academic profile, with a substantial publishing portfolio comprising theoretical works and scientific studies, university textbooks, course materials, manuals, syntheses, test collections, and practical workbooks, covering all stages of higher education, as well as addressing specialists and informed audiences in the following fields: Philosophy; History; Psychology and Educational Sciences; Legal and Administrative Sciences; Economics, Marketing, and Business Administration; Computer Science and Engineering; Veterinary Medicine; Physical Education and Sports.
The founding principle underlying the activity of the Publishing House, upon which its programs and strategies are developed, is a complex one. It encourages engagement with study, the development of professional standards among younger generations through modern methods, the promotion of originality and innovation, up-to-date information, and precise, substantive explanations necessary for an understanding of the real economy under competitive conditions. The quality of its editorial output is confirmed both by the prestige and scientific authority of the authors whose names appear on the covers of the published volumes, and by the professionalism of the editorial teams, composed of university faculty specialized in each field, as well as collaborators from the academic community, including prominent figures of scientific life in Romania and abroad. Between 2020 and 2025, editorial activity resulted in the publication of over 500 titles, with a total print run exceeding 125,000 copies.
The primary mission of the Publishing House of the România de Mâine Foundation remains the dissemination of culture and scientific research to and from individuals of high intellectual standing, who represent genuine moral models of contemporary society. From the outset, the Publishing House has also focused on publishing theoretical works in the field of fundamental research, addressed to professionals in their respective disciplines, thereby fostering a community grounded in the authentic values of contemporary science.The impact of the published titles can be measured through the growing interest of readers, the increasing number of requests for reprints, and, not least, the rapid sell-out of several works of scientific interest in the fields of philosophy, history, psychology, theoretical and applied economics, computer science, and veterinary medicine.The portfolio of the Publishing House of the România de Mâine Foundation also includes numerous areas within the socio-humanistic domain, such as Journalism; Communication and Public Relations; Communication Sciences; Cultural Studies; Geography; Romanian Language and Literature; Foreign Languages and Literatures; Architecture; Performing Arts; and Music Pedagogy. In each of these areas, editorial activity is directed toward refining texts and content, based on thorough documentation and continuous collaboration with authors or author teams, ensuring that the information provided is not only rigorous and of high quality, but also accessible to the intended readership.Within the Publishing House of the România de Mâine Foundation, particular attention has been given to the fields of Philosophy, History, and Economics, with the selection and publication of valuable works authored by distinguished scholars who have contributed significantly to these areas of knowledge. A relevant argument in this respect is the establishment of specialized collections under the distinguished patronage of leading academic figures: Ioan N. Roșca PhD (Philosophy), Professor Moisuc, PhD (History), and Luminița Ionescu PhD (Economics).The works published within these collections have been presented at symposia, book launches, and conferences organized within partnerships and round-table discussions held during book fairs, benefiting from sustained promotional campaigns supported by media partners.The presence of the Publishing House of the România de Mâine Foundation at the 2019 Paris Book Fair (Salon du Livre de Paris), at the stand organized under the aegis of the Romanian Publishers Association, should also be noted. All published volumes are available at the National Library of Romania, the Metropolitan Library, and the National Library of the Republic of Moldova. Additionally, some titles are held in university and national libraries in other countries, including institutions in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Portugal.In order to increase the visibility of its publications within the European cultural environment, at the end of 2024 the Publishing House of the România de Mâine Foundation signed an agreement with the National Heritage Institute, under which the Publishing House’s books and periodicals will be digitized and made available online via the Romanian Digital Library and the European Digital Library.With the aim of expanding the range of topics addressed, in the context of the new global economic environment and emerging orientations toward a sustainable economy, and in order to elevate its editorial activity to a new level, the Publishing House of the România de Mâine Foundation initiated, in 2022, an extensive program for translating into Romanian works of broad scientific interest authored by internationally recognized scholars. Several titles for which the Publishing House obtained publication rights have since appeared in its collections.All original scientific works published by the Publishing House undergo peer-review procedures, academic evaluation, and plagiarism checks. Translations are also subject to a rigorous quality-control process, ensuring fidelity and accuracy in full conformity with the original texts. For the years 2025–2026, seventeen translations have been contracted, selected according to criteria corresponding to the Publishing House’s major areas of interest, in collaboration with literary agencies, the Istituto Teseo in Italy, and through direct cooperation with authors. These works are currently in translation and preparation for publication, with planned releases at major international book fairs and salons. The Publishing House of the România de Mâine Foundation considers itself a platform from which original ideas, courageous scientific studies, hypotheses and theories, and scientifically validated truths—based on indisputable sources and rigorous documentation—can and should be expressed. In line with this objective, beginning in 2021, the Publishing House launched the biannual journal Minerva – Journal of History & Philosophy, featuring contributions from university-based authors and published exclusively in English. The journal has reached its tenth issue, published in February 2026.Book distribution is carried out through the Publishing House’s two bookstores in Bucharest, its online store, and through partner bookstore and book distribution networks.Another enduring concern of the Publishing House of the România de Mâine Foundation has been, and will continue to be, the initiation and development of international cooperation with similar institutions and organizations, particularly within the European Union. In 2019, through Spiru Haret University in Bucharest, an agreement was signed with the Istituto Teseo in Italy, providing for reciprocal translation rights within a cultural exchange program. Since then, several Romanian titles have been translated and published in Italian, while the Publishing House has also released Romanian translations of Italian works.The agreement with the Istituto Teseo also includes additional areas of cooperation, such as the organization of conferences to promote books and their themes in both Romania and Italy, the initiation of a jointly edited bilingual publication, the publication of articles authored by Italian scholars, and the harmonization of shared fields of activity to increase the number of volumes published by both parties. Furthermore, in 2022, a collaboration and editorial assistance agreement was signed with The Wylie Agency in London, aimed at securing legal and financially advantageous access to prestigious titles in economics and other scientific fields.To ensure outstanding graphic quality, the Publishing House operates in close proximity to the computerized România de Mâine Printing Complex, which includes offset and digital printing, graphic and text editing, desktop publishing, computerized typesetting, digital prepress, and modern finishing lines, enabling the production of all works required by the Publishing House and other entities in the publishing sector. The efforts of the Publishing House of the România de Mâine Foundation are directed toward continuous improvement, diversification of its high-level scientific publishing output, increased national and international visibility, critical self-assessment, and the elimination of shortcomings inherent in the process of building a renewed institutional image, guided by good faith and an innovative spirit.
