Overview

The Association of Computer Science Students of Iași is a non-governmental, apolitical, and non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote volunteering and offer opportunities to students.

The association’s activities are addressed both to students and professors of the Faculty of Computer Science Iași, as well as to the Iași IT community.

On March 12, 1990, ASII became the first student association established at “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University. Among the association’s objectives are facilitating its members’ access to various scientific, cultural, and sports events, promoting the civic spirit among students and young people in general, improving the professional training of computer science students, encouraging and supporting scientific initiatives and projects of computer science students, alumni of the Faculty of Computer Science Iași, and the IT community.

ASII Values:

a) Involvement: we promote volunteering by supporting student initiatives or projects for them. Our motivation comes from the desire to actively contribute to improving the student environment.
b) Organization: Working as a team, we develop projects with professionalism and through efficient communication.
c) Continuous Improvement: We aim to grow from year to year, both as an association and as individuals. The experience gained over the years helps us develop continuously. Innovation and creativity are key elements guiding us toward perfection.
