Institutional performance Promoting the continuity and stability of RD institutions, through the development of their own strategies, in accordance with the National RD&I Strategy Bucharest, October 29, 2009

  10. I.1. RD&I system in Ro- characterization: synergical instruments  Research of Excellenceprogramme (CEEX, 2005-2008), to structuring and building the Romanian Research Area in order to become fully compatible with the European and international standards of performance.  Core RD programmes of the national RD institutions, in order to sustaining long-term strategic objectives, specific to the sectors in which these institutions are performing.  Sectoral Operational Programme for “Increasing the Economic Competitiveness” Priority Axis 2 – „Increasing the economic competitiveness through research and innovation” (SOP-IEC), to increasing the Romanian enterprises productivity and reducing the productivity gaps with respect to EU 27 by the following channels: - increasing the research capacity by the development of research infrastructures and by attracting young people and highly qualified specialists; - strengthening the knowledge supply from universities and RD institutes; - stimulate technology transfers based on the cooperation between RD institutions and enterprises; - stimulate innovation demand from enterprises.  Three programmes focused on basic research of the Romanian Academy Bucharest, October 29, 2009

  11. I.1. RD&I system in Ro- characterization: system capacity [ Source: INS 2009 • Increasing trends …BUTcomparing to UE-27 (2007) • The share of researchers in total employment • 35,2%oo in Romania << 92%oo UE 27 • The share of employees from RD activities in total employment • 47,9 %ooin Romania << 155%oo UE 27. Bucharest, October 29, 2009

  12. I.2 RD&I system in Ro - results: output dynamic Source: ANCS, ISI Web of Knowledge - Thomson Reuters, Eurostat • Excepting the patent statistic, the trends are positive • Specific policy measures: • Rewarding the authors of ISI publications and patents. • Improving the RD&I managerial skillsby supporting specific actions e.g. training, • international mobilities etc. Bucharest, October 29, 2009

  13. I.2 RD&I system in Ro - results: positive impact on economy Sources: INS, *)ANCS, Eurostat Bucharest, October 29, 2009

  14. I.2 RD&I system in Ro - results: significant achievements • 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

  15. I.2 RD&I system in Ro - results: significant achievements • More than half of the number of researchers are still belonging to exact, natural, and engineering sciences Bucharest, October 29, 2009

  16. I.2 RD&I system in Ro - results:still to do The effectiveness is obvious, but again, comparing with UE-27 • The share of HiTech exports in total exports 3.80% 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 • The share of employees in knowledge based services in total employment 14.40% in Romania << 32.94% UE 27. Bucharest, October 29, 2009

  17. 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 ReNITT • 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

  18. I.3. RD&I system in Ro- challenges: public funding • 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 ?

  20. II. International Cooperation in the Framework of FP7 – Comparison to some member states and Turkey Bucharest, October 29, 2009

  21. II. International Cooperation in the Framework of FP7– Comparison to some member states and Turkey Table data source: interpretation of EuropeanCommission’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 averageislow if wetakeintoaccounttwofactors: I. weight of RO population to EU (4,32%) II. RO GDP (close to 1% of EU GDP in 2007; increasefrom 48,4 bil. Є in 2002 to 115 bil. Є in 2007) If weapply the ratio RO GDP/EU GDP of 0,98% to the budget of 7,3 bil. EUR for the 90 calls itresults a contribution of 71,567 mil. EUR. If we compare it to the actual EU contribution for RO participants in selectedprojects (i.e. 41 mil. EUR) we have a recovery rate of 57,3%. Bucharest, October 29, 2009

  22. The NMS have a satisfactory participation to FP7 Lack of communication between potentialcooperation 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 ofstrong S&T areas and NMS integration in the ERA Guidelines for development of the NationalResearch Strategies: Link with industry (ETPs) andincreased cooperation with industry Research fields and themes in accordance with the National Research Strategy National Research Strategy harmonyzed with the European Strategic Research Agenda II.
