PSF Country Review of the Romanian Research and Innovation (R&I) System

The objective of the review of Romania’s research and innovation system is to provide support to the country in its efforts in reforming its public science sphere. This aims to improve the quality and performance of the national R&I system and help the integration of Romania into the European Research Area (ERA).

The focus areas of the Country review were:

  1. Governance of the Romanian R&I system and structural changes;
  2. Framework conditions for public research;
  3. The internationalisation of the Romanian R&I system in an inclusive ERA;
  4. Public-private partnerships as key drivers for better innovation;
  5. Effectiveness and impact of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF)in relation to the National R&D&I Plan (2015-2020).

The activity identified key impediments and came up with policy recommendations complemented with short and long-term measures that are necessary in order to improve the country’s research and development performance.
