On November 10, 2026, the Academy of Sciences of Moldova (ASM) organized the Research and Innovation Festival under the heading “Science for Peace and Development: Creativity, Experience, Perspectives”, a beautiful tradition launched five years ago to disseminate research results within an exhibition and to appreciate the role of researchers from the Republic of Moldova.
The fifth edition took place in the context of World Science Day for Peace and Development and was held in the Golden Hall of the ASM (1, Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt Blvd.), which has rightfully become a true exhibition hall of the ASM, a platform for presenting and supporting the valuable scientific achievements obtained by the academic community in 2026.
At the official opening of the Research Festival, the President of the ASM, Corr. Mem. Ion Tighineanu, the Minister of Culture, Dan Suruceanu, the Minister of Health, Alexandru Gasnaș, the Vice-President of the ASM, Corr. Mem. Ion Hadârcă, and the President of the Council of Rectors of the Republic of Moldova, Corr. Mem. Emil Ceban, welcomed the presence of both young and experienced researchers, emphasizing the importance of science in everyday life and in the development of a society that has chosen the path of European integration.
During the Research Festival, the communication of scientific results took place both in physical format and in the virtual space. The Golden Hall hosted agricultural products, medical instruments, and technical devices, giving all interested visitors the opportunity to get acquainted with the research of scientists from the Republic of Moldova through films, posters, and presentations.
The results showcased within the Research Festival are impressive and reflect the conscientiousness of thorough research—both theoretical and applied—carried out by scientific schools in the Republic of Moldova, demonstrating researchers’ ability to integrate into the European Research Area and remain competitive at both national and international levels.
The three science sections of the ASM — the Exact and Engineering Sciences Section, the Life Sciences Section, and the Social, Economic, Humanistic Sciences and Arts Section — contributed to the successful organization of the event by coordinating various activities, selecting exhibition materials, etc.
We appreciate the active participation in the Research Festival of scientific institutes, departments, laboratories, and scientific centers from the State University of Moldova, the Technical University of Moldova, the “Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical University, the “Nicolae Testemițanu” State University of Medicine and Pharmacy, the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova and the National Institute for Economic Research, the Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts, as well as scientific-practical institutes within the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, and hospitals and research institutes of the Ministry of Health.
Additionally, a poster gallery reflecting certain applied results of scientific projects was set up in the ASM lobby, giving everyone the opportunity to learn about the researchers’ work. These posters were produced within the framework of the Sci-TRUST project — “Strengthening Trust in Science: European Researchers’ Night”, funded by the European Union Research and Innovation Programme Horizon Europe, grant agreement no. 101305415.
All banners and posters were presented in online format, offering updated data and information about science explained in an accessible way. Video materials and presentations of valuable scientific achievements are available online.
In this anniversary year — marking 65 years since the foundation of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova and 80 years since the creation of the first academic-type research institutes — we set out to appreciate the scientific achievements exhibited across the following categories: “Most Original Presentation Stand for Scientific Achievements Obtained in 2026”; “Most Original Science Promotion Video” (for young researchers up to 35 years of age); “Most Relevant Poster with Valuable Scientific Achievements Obtained in 2026” (categories: youth up to 35 years/seniors, women/men); and “Most Original Greeting Card for World Science Day for Peace and Development”. The results of this contest will be announced during the closing festivities of the 2026 Scientific Year.
The online transmission of the Research and Innovation Festival was provided by the ASM’s loyal partner, the Institute for Development of Information Society, and is available at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqeV13hAw48. The video report highlighted several significant aspects, giving exhibition participants the opportunity to talk about their research and the results obtained within research institutes, centers, and university laboratories.
The Research and Innovation Festival “Science for Peace and Development: Creativity, Experience, Perspectives” held on November 10, 2026, provided a great opportunity to showcase the results of research within our fields of competence. The Academy of Sciences of Moldova has a rich experience and tradition in organizing such thematic scientific exhibitions (in physical format or in virtual space) on the occasion of ASM Day, Science Day, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, European Researchers’ Night, the Days of Professor Natalia Gheorghiu, as well as in the context of summarizing the scientific year.
