The “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi (TUIASI) is a high-end research and education institution. Its mission is to carry out specific activities to create, to exploit and to transfer knowledge to the society in fundamental areas – Technical Sciences, Architecture and Urbanism – as well as in interdisciplinary and complementary fields, involving the local community, as well as regional, national and international levels.

• Transmitting knowledge to new generations and perpetual professional training based on a three cycles study system – bachelor, master, and doctoral (PhD) studies programs – as well as postgraduate perpetual education and research programs. At every level, the university aims to stimulate critical thinking and creativity to offer our graduates a competitive edge in the labor market. At the same time, the institution is open to all members of society, to extend lifelong learning in line with worldwide science and technology developments;

We seek to enable each member of the network to offer high-quality study and qualification programmes with digital components that are shared within the INGENIUM Alliance.
