The AGH University of Kraków is one of the oldest and largest technical universities in Poland and one of the  leading center of engineering education and research in Central Europe. While rooted in a strong mining and metallurgy tradition, AGH has evolved into a comprehensive technological university, offering a broad and modern academic portfolio that spans virtually all key areas of engineering, technical sciences, and applied research.

AGH continuously develops its educational and research profile to address the challenges of a rapidly transforming world. By closely following global trends in industry, economy, digitalization, sustainability, and public policy, the University ensures that its teaching and research remain aligned with the needs of a dynamic and innovation-driven labour market.

With approximately 22,000 students across 18 faculties, AGH provides state-of-the-art education to future engineers, researchers, and technology leaders. The University offers a wide range of first- and second-cycle degree programmes, including several fully delivered in English, fostering an international and interdisciplinary academic environment.

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics is among the largest and most prestigious mechanical engineering faculties in Poland. It delivers comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programmes covering applied mechanics, materials engineering, robotics and mechatronics, and machine design.

The Faculty combines rigorous theoretical education with strong practical orientation. Students benefit from advanced laboratory infrastructure, participation in cutting-edge research projects, and close cooperation with industry through internships and joint initiatives. Supported by distinguished academic staff and active international partnerships, the Faculty plays a key role in advancing mechanical engineering research and innovation.

The INGENIUM European University Consortium represents a strategic alliance of leading technical and comprehensive universities across Europe, established to advance excellence in education, research, innovation, and societal engagement. Within it, the Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iași (TUIASI) holds a well-defined and increasingly visible position as a full member of the INGENIUM consortium.

TUIASI operates under the patronage of INGENIUM through a wide range of already implemented and ongoing activities. These include participation in joint educational initiatives such as common modules, blended intensive programs, and co-developed learning outcomes, as well as involvement in thematic research working groups and interdisciplinary task forces. Academic and administrative staff from TUIASI have engaged in consortium-level governance structures, mobility schemes, capacity-building workshops, and best-practice exchanges, contributing actively to the institutional development objectives of INGENIUM.

The department plays a central role in shaping the next generation of engineers and innovators in manufacturing and industrial engineering. With a tradition rooted in decades of technical education, the department stands at the intersection of rigorous academic training, practical industry relevance, and cutting-edge research. It actively fosters academic collaboration and international partnerships, enhancing the global perspective of our community and expanding opportunities for student and staff mobility.

Committed to advancing knowledge, empowering students, and contributing to technological progress, the Department of Machine Manufacturing Technology remains a vital contributor to the engineering landscape in Romania and internationally.
