End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.
Ensure everyone has access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food.
Student hunger: University canteens + subsidised pricing – intervention to keep student meal costs low: https://www.uaic.ro/studenti/cantinele-universitatii-alexandru-ioan-cuza/
UAIC’s bursary regulations explicitly provide meal vouchers for groups of particularly vulnerable students: https://www.sport.uaic.ro/tmp/files/2024/10/anunt-Tichete-de-masa.pdf
UAIC operates a research station for Aquaculture and Aquatic Ecology, an institutional research facility that can host applied research, demonstrations and technology transfer activities relevant to aquaculture producers.

Pilot Project for Environmentally Friendly Algal Biomass Production for Fish Nutrition: The project aims to recycle wastewater from recirculating aquaculture systems, implement an innovative technology for obtaining algal biomass at cost-effective rates, and determine the effect of the obtained biomass on the fish growth process. The general objective of the project is to increase the level of protection and conservation of natural biodiversity and green infrastructure, including urban areas, as well as to reduce all forms of pollution through cross-border cooperation over a period of 18 months.
