-UAIC-INOV-IMP2-

The general objective of the UAIC-INOV-IMP2 project is to support the Strategic Institutional Development Plan of Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași in order to increase the innovation capacity and institutional performance, competitiveness and impact of research by funding excellence.

The project aims to increase the capacity of RDI by: (1) Strengthen the university’s international recognition for research quality by facilitating the use and dissemination of research results through publication in Clarivate Analytics indexed journals; (2) Consolidation of the RDI infrastructure / development of the University’s RDI capacity through the acquisition of new research infrastructures and the modernization of the existing infrastructure; (3) Improving researchers by organizing specialization courses and by carrying out mobility in research institutions in the country and abroad.

The specific objectives of this project are:

  • OS1. Strengthen multidisciplinary and intersectoral research and national/international research collaborations
  • OS2. Development of facilities to support technology transfer
  • OS3. Ensuring a strong and modern research infrastructure
  • OS4. Supporting young researchers to develop a career in research
  • OS5. Promoting a favorable organizational climate for collaboration and cooperation
  • OS6. Transition to Open Science

The project will generate long-term effects aimed at:

  • developing human resources for research by supporting and encouraging young researchers to carry out training and documentation courses (national/international) being encouraged those organized by successful economic agents;
  • consolidating the scientific potential of the research groups within the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași by purchasing the equipment necessary for the operation of the Interdisciplinary Research Institute, and by establishing and / or modernizing two interdisciplinary scientific research laboratories;
  • development of facilities to support technology transfer both through the acquisition of know-how and through the development of the activities of the Innovation and Transfer Center CTTT iTransfer (which is in the process of accreditation) in order to capitalize on the results of scientific research;
  • acquiring the attribute of “excellence” in research, by meeting certain key criteria: interdisciplinarity, international dimension, quality, competitiveness, utility for society, open access, gender policies, support for sustainable development and environmental protection.

The implementation period of the project “Supporting competitiveness in research-development and innovation by developing the institutional capacity of Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași (UAIC-INOV-IMP2)” is 30.12.2021-15.06.2024, the total budget is 6,266,000 lei.
