Excellence in Research at the University of Bucharest
-----------------------------------------------------

In 2014 was founded the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (ICUB), designed as an innovative structure that fosters excellence and interdisciplinarity in Earth, Environment and Life Sciences, Exact Sciences, Humanities, and Social Sciences.

ICUB’s mission is to provide a dynamic and creative environment for both young and established researchers, positioning itself as a central hub in the international network of research institutes. It aims to promote collaboration and partnerships with other research centres and projects.
