The Emergence of the Latin School
In 1562, at Cotnari (near Iasi), the Latin School emerged. This has been the starting point for laying the foundation of higher education in Romania. Still, it was not until 1813 that the scholar Gheorghe Asachi founded the first school of land surveyors and civil engineers with instruction in the Romanian language. It can be considered the core of technical higher education in Moldova.
1562The Foundation of Technical Education
In 1813 the scholar Gheorghe Asachi founded the first school of land surveyors and civil engineers with instruction in the Romanian language. It can be considered the core of technical higher education in Moldova.
1813The Michaellian Academy
The Mihăileană Academy was founded in 1835, including, among other disciplines, technical courses and a "painting school", in this way contributing to the development of technical education in Moldova.
1835The University of Iasi
The University of Iași was established in 1860, becoming a true citadel of all sciences and a pillar of higher education in the region.
1860The Establishment of the Polytechnic Institute
On the 7th of November 1912, after passing the regulations for the Faculty of Science, the proper Polytechnic Institute was set up. More technical specialties have been added:
- the department of the electro-technical;
- applied chemical
- and agricultural sciences.
The new Gheorghe Asachi Polytechnic School
In March 1937, when the Parliament of Romania voted on the Law of Education, the technical higher education was transferred to the newly established Polytechnic School which was, at that time, one of the few higher education institutions in Romania qualified to issue engineer’s degrees. The new institution bore from the very beginning the name of Gheorghe Asachi, the founder of Romanian technical education, while professor Cristea Otin was elected its first Rector.
1937The Education Reform
Through the education reform of 1948, the "Gh. Asachi" Polytechnic Institute of Iași was established.
1948The "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iași
In 1993, following a new reform of higher education in Romania, the "Gh. Asachi" Polytechnic Institute of Iași became the "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iași on May 17, 1993.
1993The INGENIUM Alliance
In 2023, the "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iași became a member of the INGENIUM Alliance, a network of European universities, further strengthening its position within international higher education.
