The Sub-Regional European Astronomical Committee (SREAC) was established in May 2004 in Bucharest within the framework of the UNESCO “Enhancing astronomical research and observation in South-East Europe and Ukraine” project with as a main objective to elaborate and implement a sub-regional strategy for the development of astronomy in South East Europe and Ukraine.

The main objective of SREAC is to elaborate and implement a sub-regional strategy for the development of astronomy in South-East Europe and Ukraine and to strengthen astronomical co-operation in the sub-region, and between the region and countries outside.”
