Scientific research is one of the missions assumed by the Charter of the Iuliu Hațieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy.
Research activities are carried out in all departments and departments of our university, with financial support being provided, to a large extent, through grants or research contracts. The exceptional effort of the teaching staff and the institutional framework improved by the creation of the Research-Development Department, in addition to the more generous offer of funding programmes, have been the conditions that have allowed our university to be placed in a top position among the medical universities in Romania in terms of the number and value of research grants won through competition.
In recent years, the national strategy on scientific research has allowed the structuring of centres of excellence and research centres accredited by CNCSIS. The university currently operates two research centres of excellence in innovative and high-performance medicine and 15 research centres.
