The story

From its origins, in practical terms, SNSPA can be considered to be a continuation of the Ștefan Gheorghiu Academy, which provided training for the leadership of the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) before the 1989 Revolution. The former party secretary from the Ștefan Gheorghiu Academy, Vasile Secăreș, created in January 1990 the School of High Political Studies. Later, in spring of that year, he founded the Faculty of High Political Studies at the University of Bucharest, which in 1991 was transformed in SNSPA. Secăreș would be the rector of the institution from its creation in 1991 to 2004.
