The study group actually (31.3.2026) consists from 25 active collectors from seven different countries.
On Saturday, May 2nd, 1970, during the exhibition “SABRIA 70” the members of the study group met for their first time to a meeting (“Symposium”) in Saarbrücken. Then the study group consisted from 25 members, of which nearly 50% appeared at the meeting. Since then the study group met regularly to render homage to Romanian philately. In general the meetings (“Symposium”) were fixed at an occasion with a stamp exhibition nearby. In section 3 of the homepage (for members only) we will give details of former meetings (work in progress).
The meeting 2019 commemorating our 50th anniversary was a special event: We met in Bucharest and we had been invited to held our symposium in the Museum of Romania Records. At the same time there was the EFIRO 2019.
On this picture we see active members of the study group (2,4,6,7 and 12), the other persons were companions or former members of our study group (up to 2024).

The planned meeting in July 2026 (46th Symposium) could not take place due to a lack of participants!
The organisation of symposia had to be suspended in 2026 because hardly any members registered to attend. However, individual meetings between members are possible (by arrangement).
At the exhibition in Bernau near Berlin in July 2026, however, a new member was recruited to serve on the Executive Committee. Dr Ioan-Luca Vlad (right) joined study group ARGE in 2025.
He has already made an impressive contribution to Romanian philately and is now ready to bring his expertise to bear within our study group ARGE Rumänien. He will be responsible for maintaining the ARGE website.
Our next meeting of the study group ARGE Rumaenien members will take place on 22 October 2026 in Ulm, where we held symposia in 2022 and 2024.
