What the «Prut heritage strategy» that Ungheni is developing with Iași really is

Ungheni City Hall has announced that it has begun drawing up a strategy for harnessing the cultural heritage of the Middle Prut Valley for 2027–2033. Behind the wording lies a concrete European project: «Gateways for the sustainable integration of the culture of the Middle Prut Valley into European tourist routes», funded through the cross-border Interreg NEXT Romania–Republic of Moldova programme, in which Ungheni is the lead and Iași the partner. The first of the five August working sessions, on 4 August, brought together online over 60 participants from about 50 institutions on both banks of the Prut. A first inventory found approximately 2,500 cultural sites across ten districts of Moldova and three counties of Romania.

Seven pupils from Ungheni's art school are exhibiting in Iași, in a Municipal Museum gallery, until 31 July. Entry is free

The exhibition «Linii în dialog» («Lines in Dialogue») brings together 17 young artists from Iași and Ungheni at the «Dumitru I. Grumăzescu» Galleries in Iași — a section of the «Regina Maria» Municipal Museum, the museum network of Iași City Hall. It is open until 31 July, and its opening was held on Thursday, 16 July. Seven of the exhibitors are pupils of the «Raisa Cojocaru» School of Fine Arts in Ungheni, coached by the school's headmistress. The show is run not by the school but by an association from Iași, through a project whose partners include Ungheni City Hall. Entry is free.

A €375,000 project with the nurses of Iași would bring the Ungheni District Hospital emergency equipment and a unit for medical waste

The Ungheni District Hospital announces that it is a partner in a cross-border project for responding to health crises — an outfit of emergency-care equipment and a unit for neutralising hazardous medical waste. The official document shows, however, that this is a provisional selection, with a European grant of at most €375,438.90 for the whole partnership: the contract has not yet been signed.

How a graduate from Ungheni can get a tuition-free place in Romania

The Romanian Universities Fair, now in its fifteenth edition, stopped in Ungheni on Saturday, 4 July — part of a tour through four cities of the Republic of Moldova. Beyond the stands, the stakes for an Ungheni graduate are concrete: the Romanian state offers thousands of tuition-free places each year, some with a stipend, at universities across the Prut, and Iași is less than 50 kilometres away. Here is what the «Romanians everywhere» programme offers, how to apply and what to watch for.

The electrification of the railway to Ungheni has gone to tender: a contract of nearly 290 million lei, with bids due by 5 August

Romania's national railway (CFR) has published, in the Electronic Public Procurement System (SEAP), the notice for the design and construction of the electrification of the Iași–Border line — the concrete step our explainer a week ago flagged as the «next» one. The contract, estimated at 289.55 million lei excluding VAT, covers the Socola–Ungheni section and is the Romanian half of the joint project with the Republic of Moldova, which is to give Bessarabia its first kilometre of electrified railway — right through Ungheni. The deadline for bids: 5 August 2026.

The railway bridge over the Prut at Ungheni goes under technical assessment — a step toward Moldova's first electrified railway stretch

After Bucharest approved the electrification of the Iași–border line, the Moldovan side got to work: on 25 June, representatives of the Railway of Moldova met in Iași with their Romanian counterparts to coordinate the Iași–Ungheni line project. Among the agreed steps — the technical assessment of the bridge over the Prut, which is to be reconstructed, and preparing the systems for the future electrification, to European standards.

With their «Zânele Pădurii» (Forest Fairies) routine, the girls won first place at a competition across the Prut — in the city twinned with Ungheni for ten years now. A small but living thread of the friendship between the two banks.
