The decision to join IUVSTA was made at a
General Meeting of the Society in 1991, and the
Society was formally admitted into the IUVSTA at
its General Meeting in The Hague in 1992.
The main activities developed between 1991 and
2000 were:
•
Founding a specialized library of the Romanian
Vacuum Society, containing books, scientific
magazines and other technical information.
•
Promoting the adoption of ISO Standards and
regulations, and the development of national
standards, in the field of Vacuum Technology.
•
Offering consultations for both scientific and
industrial applications on matters requiring
vacuum-related knowledge.
•
Organizing meetings between specialist
members of RVS, and people interested in the
use and maintenance of vacuum equipment.
•
Organizing short courses on Vacuum Science
and Technology at different levels, ranging from
university courses to instruction courses for
technicians and operators.
•
Maintaining connections with IUVSTA and
other national vacuum societies.
After some time of absence from IUVSTA,
the RVS is on the path of reforming as the
Romanian Society for Vacuum Science and
Technology.
The Romanian Vacuum Society (SRV) was founded on 13 August 1990 at the initiative
of specialists working in the Institute of Atomic Physics, Bucharest. The aim was to bring
together those specialists who were working in various research institutes and enterprises in
Bucharest and elsewhere in Romania, and who had interest in Vacuum Physics andTechnology
and the application of this knowledge. At the time the Society was founded there were about
100 members.
