Dunarea De Jose University of Galati

About the university

The University of Galati, initially known as the Polytechnic Institute, was established in July 1974 through the merger of the Polytechnic Institute and the Pedagogical Institute. The Polytechnic Institute of Galai had its roots in the Land Improvement Institute, founded in 1948, and the Naval and Mechanical Engineering Institute, established in 1951. In 1953, the Institute of Fish Breeding and Fishing Technology, located in Constana, was transferred to Galai and merged with the Naval and Agronomic Institutes, forming the Technical Institute of Galai. In 1955, the Institute for Food Industry of Bucharest was also relocated to Galai. Two years later, these various higher education institutions were consolidated into the Polytechnic Institute of Galai.
