Mission statement
The Hungarian Association for American Studies (HAAS) is an academic non-profit organization that sets out to support American Studies in Hungary at academic institutions and promotes transatlantic understanding. Currently, the HAAS has more than 50 active members. They represent the Association at practically all Hungarian universities and academic institutions with departments focusing on American Studies.
