At present the scientific community of the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova entails almost 500 titular teaching staff, whereof 29 Doctors Habilitatum and 200 Doctors of Science. The scientific activity within AESM is presently directed by the Vice-rector for the Scientific Research and Foreign Relations, Professor Ph.D. Vadim Cojocaru.

Pursuant to the Senate Decision, in 2002, there was initiated the Centre for Economic Research (CER). Its main objectives are to organize, coordinate and direct the scientific research at AESM. The centre has 10 research laboratories, financed by AESM as well as state and international grants.

In the research system, the chair is the key element in organizing the research activity. Research teams may be either organized within a certain chair or conduct their activity in mixed teams. There are 27 student debating communities that involve more than 800 students, whereof 81 are members of chair research teams.

The results of the scientific researches are provided in teaching publications, monographs, textbooks, and scientific articles. The academic teaching staff take part in scientific events including international congresses, conferences and symposia by presenting speeches and reports. Furthermore, there is an ongoing scientific cooperation between AESM and other higher education and scientific research institutions, national and international government and non-government organizations.
