• Among the highest growth rates in Europe of some of the indicators related to innovation (e.g. share of employees in knowledge-intensive services, organizational innovation, share of innovative enterprises)
“… Bulgaria and Romania have been improving their performance the fastest.”(EIS 2008-Comparative analysis of innovation performance, 2009)
• Increase of BERD (but caution, because GDP diminished in 2008)
• Significant investments in RD infrastructure (in the first two years ’08-’09, the programme Capacities accounted for the largest share of expenditure with respect to its total, multi-annual budget)
• New or new levels of international collaborations (pan-European research infrastructures, candidacy to CERN, supporting the FP7 Ro partners etc.)
• Significant improvements of the quality of human resources (frontier research in the Ro Ideas programme, supporting the mobility of researchers via the Human Resources programme and billateral cooperation etc.)
Bucharest, October 29, 2009
I.2 RD&I system in RoI.2 RD&I system in Ro - results - results: significant achievements • More than half of the number of researchers are still belonging to exact, natural, and engineering sciences
The effectiveness is obvious, but again, comparing with UE-27
• The share of HiTech exports in total exports3.80% in Romania << 15.96% UE 27
• The share of personnel working or with tertiary education in ST fields in total employment
22.97% in Romania << 39.25% UE 27. • The share of employees in HiTech and Mid-Tech manufacturing in
total employment 5.66% in Romania < 6.69% UE 27 close enough

• 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 ReNITT
• Global crisis led to public under-financing
• Provisioned effects upon unemployment, so that the competition for Hum.Res. in ST will increase

Political decision on diminishing the share of ANCS inpublic financing hasto 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
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 FP7 and available information up to January 10, 2009.
Conclusions Level of Romania’s participation in FP7 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%.
II. International Cooperation in the Framework of FP7 – Comparison to some member states and Turkey
Bucharest, October 29, 2009
The NMS have a satisfactory participation to FP7
Lack of communication between potential cooperation partners and in consortium
More confidence is needed towards the NCP networks
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
Structural funds – their efficient use could represent a major support in consolidating of strong S&T areas and NMS integration in the ERA
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
