DEPARTMENT OF EXACT SCIENCES AND NATURAL SCIENCES, Institute of Interdisciplinary Research, “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi aims to contribute consistently in promoting the excellence in education and research in our University. Based upon its values, such as integrity, excellence in research and scientific relevance, as well as the quality of our human resources, this department offers first and foremost credibility and respectability regarding the scientific endeavor undertaken in our University.

Based on these pillars, the long-term goals of the Science Research Department, Institute of Interdisciplinary Research of “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi, are:

THE DEPARTMENT OF EXACT SCIENCES AND NATURAL SCIENCES has in its composition three distinct Research Centers, namely: the Platform for Interdisciplinary Training and Research in Archeology (“ARHEOINVEST Center”), the Integrated Center for Studies in Environmental Science for the North-East Region (“CERNESIM Center”) and the Center for Research in the Field of Advanced Materials and Technologies (“RAMTECH Center”) as well as two Research Groups: the Molecular Biophysics Group and the Environmental Sciences Group, respectively. The three centers are led by a Research Center Director, and the research groups are coordinated by a Group Coordinator.
