The Institute of Interdisciplinary Research of the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi (ICI UAIC) was established in 2019, being conceived as a structure of excellence in research, with the main objective of strengthening the university’s prestige both nationally and internationally. The mission of the Institute is to become a pole of reference in the academic and scientific landscape, promoting excellence in research by addressing contemporary challenges and facilitating collaboration across diverse areas of expertise.

Through dynamic collaborations and partnerships, the Institute aims to strengthen its position as a pillar of research within the University and to provide robust support in national and international research networks.
