Hungarian science in civil framework in Transylvania

In the case of the national minorities we can speak about science regarding their state, rights, research of their identity development. In this case minority studies mean the scientific activity of persons belonging to national minorities. In multiethnic states concerning the status of minorities the majority and the minorities can have contrary interpretations. It's very important for the minority group to have own interpretations concerning their own situation. The question is: how large a minority has to be, to be able to develop their own scientific system? The minority studies should take part in shaping the political future of the minority group, therefore is important the relation between minority political and scientific elite. The analyze of institutional conditions shows that the Hungarians are underrepresented in the scientific institutions of Romanian Academy there are five to six times fewer as their demographic rate. We have to conclude that the Hungarian science in Romania is organized significantly in civil frame.
