Summary/Abstract: In the last years, Romania has passed through multiple crises: sanitary, economical, political and institutional. In a Romania shaped by insecurity and uncertainty, both societal and institutional resilience are important instruments for social cohesion. The article explores the concept of resilience, focusing on its societal and institutional dimensions. In times of crises, resilience must become a societal and institutional purpose for Romania. Promoting civic and political participation for all citizens, improving dialogue between political class and civic society and cooperation between institutions, rebuilding trust in state’s institutions and preserving democratic governance are key to build a strong resilient state.
