Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the Romanian students' efforts to fulfill the long-lasting aim of a national reunion, an idea which appeared long before 1871. The greatest desire of the Romanian students in Vienna and the other student centres in Europe was to meet and debate the problems that were troubling them during a congress. Despite the plans, the first congress did not have the expected success, because only 30-35 students had participated, most of them from Bukovina. The meeting in Putna is the one that opens the way for future national congresses, one in Iași (1909) and one in Craiova (1912). The outbreak of the First World War put an end to further attempts of the students to meet.
