Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi (TUIASI)

In 1813, Gheorghe Asachi, one of the most influential people of his generation, founded the first school of land surveyors and civil engineers with instruction in Romanian language. This school can be considered the core of technical higher education in Moldova.

After several reforms in education, on 17 May 1993, the institution’s name became Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi.
