The story of Noosfera
Noosfera was founded with a clear purpose: to bring high-quality HR education, practical learning, and internationally recognised standards closer to HR professionals in Romania. What began as a pioneering initiative continues today through programmes designed to strengthen people practice, leadership, and meaningful professional growth.
Where it All Began
Noosfera was founded by Roxana Mocanu, a visionary HR leader whose belief in the power of learning helped shape a new standard for HR development in Romania. By establishing the country’s first CIPD centre, she created a stronger foundation for HR professionals who wanted more credibility, confidence, and impact in their work.
How We Carry It Forward
Today, we continue the work Roxana began through CIPD qualifications, HR training, leadership development, and learning experiences designed for real organisational challenges. Her vision remains part of how we support professionals, teams, and organisations in building lasting value through people.
