Abstract
A functional review by the World Bank of
Romania's research, development and innovation
(RD&I) sector has been commissioned by the Government of
Romania and the European Commission as part of a broader
assessment of the public administration contribution to the
country's growth and continued convergence with the EU.
The objective of the Review is to propose actions over the
short to medium term to tangibly strengthen effectiveness
and efficiency in the RD&I sector. This report is based
on extensive literature research and data analysis, as well
as three missions to Bucharest in January, March, and April
2011, during which the World Bank team met with
representatives from a variety of public, private, and
academic institutions and conducted a workshop with major
stakeholders to review report findings. This final report --
prepared in collaboration with the World Bank Higher
Education Review team and the EC's DG Research and
Innovation -- presents observations and recommendations for
consideration by the Government. The Review suggests that
Romania's RD&I sector is in a silent crisis, with
seriously negative implications for the country's
longer term competitiveness and growth prospects.
