Research Centres

The scientific research/artistic centres of the University of Craiova involve outstanding scholars and young researchers aspiring to scientific excellence. The centres provide a framework for the development of scientific research and human resources training in advanced science fields.

A scientific research centre includes one or more laboratories in the same research area or different areas. A research centre must have its own articles, providing the organisational structure and the rules of operation.

Depending on the evaluation criteria for each research centre, they fall into:

  • centres recognised at the university level (based on internal evaluation);
  • nationally recognised centres (evaluated by CNCS or other competent bodies);
  • internationally recognised centres.

Depending on the intended goals, the following structures that may be established at the university level are assimilated to research centres:

  • expertise and consultancy centres;
  • centres for innovation and technology transfer;
  • support centres for experiments or prototype production;
  • centres for the promotion of scientific education;
  • centres for the scientific, technological and creation-related cooperation with universities and research institutions in country and abroad.
