The history of the Institute begins with 1949, when the Geology Section was founded within the Moldovan Branch of the Academy of Sciences of the former USSR, which was concerned with studying the geological structure and mineral resources of the Republic of Moldova. In 1954, the basic seismic station "Chisinau" was created within this branch, which began the investigation of the seismic regime of the Carpathian earthquakes.

In 1958 the Department of Geology of the Academy of Sciences of the former USSR was reorganized into the Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources.

In 1967, based on the Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources and the basic seismic station "Chisinau", the Institute of Geophysics and Geology of the Academy of Sciences was founded, which was headed by N. Burghelea, doctor of geology and since 1970 by the academician, doctor habilitat in geological and mineralogical sciences AV Drumea. Currently, the Institute of Geology and Seismology operates under the leadership of Mr. Vasile Alcaz, doctor habilitat in geophysics. According to the Government Decision No. 1406 of 14.12.2005, the Experimental Seismology Center was sent to the Institute of Geophysics and Geology.

The Experimental Seismology Center was transferred to the Institute of Geophysics and Geology
