This procedure establishes the manner by which the automatic recognition is carried out by “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași for teaching positions obtained in accredited higher education institutions abroad, respecting the principles of legality, university autonomy, transparency, responsibility, and the current ethical and deontological norms.

The procedure applies to Romanian citizens and citizens from member states of the European Union, the European Economic Area, and the Swiss Confederation who have obtained a teaching position in:

- accredited institutions included in the “List of prestigious universities from other countries”, approved by OMECTS no. 5825/2016 and updated periodically, for the purpose of establishing themselves in Romania;

Teaching positions obtained at other accredited university institutions than those mentioned above are recognized only on the basis of an international mutual recognition agreement, concluded at intergovernmental or interuniversity level.

The automatic recognition of teaching positions obtained abroad may occur in the case of participating in a competition for occupying a teaching position, or other teaching activities carried out within “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași.
