The State University of Moldova informs about the temporary postponement of the negotiations on the merger with the Technical University of Moldova until the Government’s position on the adequate funding of the future institution is clear, and we have firm guarantees in this regard.
This decision of the management and the Senate of the USM is motivated by the desire to protect the interests of our academic community, to ensure financial stability until the merger, and the need for clear answers to the topics proposed for discussion at the meeting of the Council of Rectors with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Education and Research on 30.04.2024.
Government authorities must provide firm guarantees and commitments to ensure adequate university funding. Our priority is to create a stable and predictable environment for students and academic and administrative staff to avoid disruptions caused by financial uncertainty. We will maintain an ongoing dialogue with state authorities to initiate and complete the merger of USM and UTM.
