History

The University of Galați, 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 Galați 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 Constanța, was transferred to Galați and merged with the Naval and Agronomic Institutes, forming the Technical Institute of Galați. In 1955, the Institute for Food Industry of Bucharest was also relocated to Galați. Two years later, these various higher education institutions were consolidated into the Polytechnic Institute of Galați.. The ''Pedagogical Institute of Galați'' was founded in 1959 and consisted of five faculties: Languages, Mathematics, Physics-Chemistry, Natural Sciences, and Sports. The two higher education institutions, the Polytechnic Institute and the Pedagogical Institute, merged in 1974 and formed the ''University of Galați''.
