Summary/Abstract: The beginning of the twentieth century was strongly marked by the FirstWorld War. Among the unexpected results of this conflagration we can observean exponential growth of cultural relations between the states involved in theconflict on the same side. If we explicitly look at the Romanian-French culturalrelations from this perspective, it becomes obvious that we are dealing with anexceptional example of cultural collaboration on the European continent. Thefirst concrete step of this process was the signing in Bucharest of The Poincaré-Angelescu Educational Convention on June 15, 1919, a document according towhich the French state provided its support for the consolidation of Romanianeducation, especially in the new provinces that entered the Romanian state.Thus, in Bucharest, the French university mission was created as a separate entityas a result of this convention. Later, in 1924, it was reorganized into the FrenchInstitute of Higher Studies.
