SUMMARY
The Dynamics of the Romanias RDI system Lessons learnt from the implementation of the RDI Strategy 2007-2013 The RDI in support of economic competitiveness Paradigm shift for the 2014-2020 National RDI Strategy
The dynamics of the Romanias RDI system (I)
1. Constant number of RDI entities & researchers

~ 1300 organizations performing RD&I activities: 266 public R&D organizations About 1000 private companies performing R&D
The dynamics of the Romanias RDI system (II) 2. System fragmentation

Strategy document for the RDI domain in the post-EU accession period 2007-2013: The National RDI Strategy for 2007-2013 approved by Government Decision no. 217/ 2007 The main instrument for implementing the National Strategy The National RDI Plan for 2007-2013, also called National Plan II NP II (PN II) approved by Government Decision no. 475/ 2007 coordinated by ANCS Instruments complementary to NP II: SOP-IEC / Axis 2 - Competitiveness through research and innovation Managing Authoriy- MECMA, Implementation Intermediate Body - ANCS 6 sectorial R&D plans coordinated by ministries: MECMA, MADR, MCSI, MDTR, MAI, MApN The priority research programmes coordinated by the Romanian Academy 49 core R&D programmes of the National R&D Institutes coordinated by ANCS

The dynamics of the Romanias RDI system (IV)
4. Consolidation of RDI system (# of publications, research

infrastructures, # of researchers constant, international collaboration) Human resources: support for scientific career development for more than 500 young researchers research projects supporting doctoral and post-doctoral studies formation of young research teams in frontier domains reintegration of researchers with stages abroad Infrastructures: new/ up-graded R&D equipment/ facilities in more than 250 labs 26 projects for large scale R&D infrastructures (in correlation with corresponding pan-european facilities - ESFRI projects) Visibility: the number of internationally quoted publications almost doubled between 2007 and 2011
The dynamics of the Romanias RDI system (V)
4. Consolidation of RDI system (# of publication, research

infrastructure, # of researchers constant, international collaboration)
Increasing economic competitiveness Support for the development of R&D activities and infrastructures for more than 600 enterprises Participation in five pan-european Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs): Clean Sky (aeronautics), ENIAC (nanotehnology), Fuel Cells (energy), ARTEMIS (embedded systems), IMI (health) Cooperation in the international arena FP7: 708 participants in 575 projects (position 19 in total EU); total budget/ RO participants: 96 Muro Participation in 16 ERA Nets, 15 ESFRI projects Recent membership to the European Space Agency ESA Accession to CERN Development of bilateral S&T cooperation (15 active bilateral cooperation programs, with countries from/ outside Europe, including USA, China, Japan)
Lessons learnt from the implementation of the 2007-2013 Strategy for RDI
The institutional framework needs - stability,administrative capacity, profesionalism-good practices, The legal framework should provide - predictibility, better coordination, CNPST The budget allocation within - multiannual framework Priorities supported by - Capacity Potential; performing RDI activities

R&D structural funds - ~ 650 Meuro (SOP-IEC/Axis 2)

~ 13,7% of total structural funds (POS-CCE/all axes + ..)
Due to the financial crisis, severe budget cuts for R&D were performed in 2009 and 2010. Despite this reduction, programs dedicated to the human resources and international cooperation were not affected.
RDI in support of economic competitiveness (I)

highest productivity growth rate in the EU in the last 10 years
total productivity growth/ by all factors/: 50% in 2008; 35% n 2011 decrease between 2008-2011, because of the economic and financial crisis
but
modest innovator
EU: position 24 of EU27 (~ of EU27 SII summary aggregated innovation index - 2010: 0,513/ 0,236) global: position 77 out of 150 countries (World Economic Forum - Global Competitiveness Report 2011) (still) efficiency-based economy (low cost resources), as compared to innovation-based economies in advanced countries
imbalances in RDI capacity:

yet mainly based in the public sector; private sector R&D counts for only 38,3% (EU average: 61,5%) low R&D expenditure in both public and private sector (38% and, respectively, 15% of EU27 average); very high non-R&D innovation expenditure (192% of EU27 average) an estimated 15.000 romanian researchers working abroad (~ 10.000 researchers in the country)
Very high rate of PhD graduates (87% of EU27) - comming from structural funds projects S&T cooperation well distributed all over Europe: France, Germany, Italy, UK Spain as main co-publication partners, Germany, Ireland: main co-pattenting partners Trade balance: significant increase in favour of medium and high-tech sectors
World Bank estimations: improving the quality and increasing aggregate R&D to EU 2020 target in Romania would raise GDP by 12% by 2025

RDI in support of economic competitiveness (IV)
RDI in support of economic competitiveness (V)

Main gaps to cover (to reach current EU27 average):
Highly qualified personnel: need to increase at least 2,5 3 times, especially

in the private sector, in knowledge intensive activities R&D personnel/ total (~ 1/3 of current EU27) employment in knowledge intensive activities (< 50% of current EU27) Increase of R&D expenditure: at least 2,5 times in the public sector (38% of current EU27)
at least 6 times in the private sector (15% of current EU27)

Main challenge for government innovation policies in the next 10 years
We need a R&D-based innovative climate in economy
Steep increase of R&D investment in the private sector (human resources, expenditures)
Sectors/domains/regions with a high innovative potential
Paradigm shift for the RDI Strategy 2014-2020(I)

Paradigm shift for the 2014-2020 National RDI Strategy (III)
- What are the priorities, How better use and exploit our resources? Smart specialization
- Dedicated project launched by ANCS in September 2012, to be finalized in September 2013 - Preparatory activities launched by ANCS: Analysis of R&D-based economic growth potential identification of smart specializations (collaboration with JASPERS = consultant for European Commission and European Investment Bank )
- The Strategy will result from a broad and transparent process of consultation and prioritization - The strategy will address national & regional priorities - A paradigm change SYSTEM (upgrading and consolidation) SECTOR (innovation and competitiveness )
