University of Life Sciences "King Mihai I" from Timisoara (ULST), known until 2022 as the Banat University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Timisoara (USAMVBT), is a state institution operating in higher education and scientific research. The traditions of the ULST are connected to the establishment of the Faculty of Agronomy on July 30, 1945, by Decree No 2394 issued by King Mihai (Michael) I of Romania and Law No 617. ULST has largely developed after the year 1990, when it started as the Agronomic Institute of Timisoara, having a single faculty with 3 departments (Agriculture, Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine).
