I. 3 RD&I system in Ro - challenges • Improve the absorption capacity of the RD&I system, including the structural funds • Sub-optimal functionality of some public RD institutions - e. g. project and programme monitoring, lack of integrated info system dedicated to RD activities, resources, and outputs. • Sub-optimal functionality of Re. NITT • Global crisis led to public under-financing • Provisioned effects upon unemployment, so that the competition for Hum. Res. in ST will increase Bucharest, October 29, 2009
I. 3. RD&I system in Ro - challenges: public funding - challenges Political decision on diminishing the share of ANCS in public financing has to be balanced by: ? • Improving the efficiency of RD expenditure • Competing for other financing sources: private, EU, Asian etc. • Improving the public acceptance for research and innovation Bucharest, October 29, 2009

II. International Cooperation in the Framework of FP 7 – Comparison to some member states and Turkey Table data source: interpretation of European Commission’s data by Romania’s Permanent Representation to EU. Statistics rely on the results of 90 calls of FP 7 and available information up to January 10, 2009. Conclusions Level of Romania’s participation in FP 7 compared to EU average is low if we take into account two factors: I. weight of RO population to EU (4, 32%) II. RO GDP (close to 1% of EU GDP in 2007; increase from 48, 4 bil. Є in 2002 to 115 bil. Є in 2007) If we apply the ratio RO GDP/EU GDP of 0, 98% to the budget of 7, 3 bil. EUR for the 90 calls it results a contribution of 71, 567 mil. EUR. If we compare it to the actual EU contribution for RO participants in selected projects (i. e. 41 mil. EUR) we have a recovery rate of 57, 3%. Bucharest, October 29, 2009
II. International Cooperation in the Framework of FP 7 – Comparison to some member states and Turkey Ø The NMS have a satisfactory participation to FP 7 Ø Lack of communication between potential cooperation partners and in consortium Ø More confidence is needed towards the NCP networks Ø Results of the first calls have shown up: § level of integration into the ERA § research capacity at national level § integration degree in the EU strategies § ability to find project partners § success of NMS close connected to their participation in projects coordinated by EU 15 Ø Structural funds – their efficient use could represent a major support in consolidating of strong S&T areas and NMS integration in the ERA Ø Guidelines for development of the National Research Strategies: § Link with industry (ETPs) and increased cooperation with industry § Research fields and themes in accordance with the National Research Strategy § National Research Strategy harmonyzed with the European Strategic Research Agenda Bucharest, October 29, 2009
