  2. National Authority for Scientific Research (NASR/ANCS) • Government’s specialized body with the mission to formulate, apply, coordinate, monitor and evaluate R&D and innovation policies, in accordance with the Government Strategy and Programmes • Fulfills the responsibilities and undertakes the attributes of the Ministry of Education, Research and Innovation (MERI) in the field of research, technological development and innovation • Host of NCP system (International Department) • FP7 Programme Committees and Steering Group HRM delegates • Bridgehead Organization in ERA-MORE/EURAXESS

  3. National Authority for Scientific Research (NASR/ANCS) Implementation and Financing agencies under ANCS coordination: National Centre for Programmes Management (CNMP), which ensures the management for a part of the R&D programmes coordinated by ANCS and funded from national and international sources; Executive Unit for Financing Research in Universities (UEFISCSU), which in particular ensures the management of research programmes mostly addressing the development of scientific careers and increasing the research capacity in universities Management Agency for Scientific Research, Innovation and Technology Transfer (AMCSIT)which ensures the management and the marketing of scientific research, innovation and technology transfer in the field of engineering and other related fields.

  4. The Romanian Mobility Centre (1) • FP6-2003-Mobility-Centres - Contract No. 513461 • Consortium: NASR – Coordinator UEFISCSU – Executive Agency for Higher Education and Research Funding CCIRB – Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania AR – Romanian Academy • Duration: 3 years • Budget: 200 000 Euros, for: personnel, equipments, portal development, trainings of personnel.

  7. The Romanian Mobility Centre (4) • 2008 – re-branding of the ERA-MORE Network - EURAXESS • the funding for the Romanian Mobility Centres ended, but the centres continued to function on voluntary bases • All RCPs signed the Declaration of Commitment to further offer free of charge, direct/indirect assistance to mobile researchers (and their families), comprehensive, up-to-date information, as well as customized assistance on all matters relating to professional and daily life. • EURAXESS counts for more than 200 service centres located in 35 European countries

  8. National Programmes National Plan for Research 1 (PN1) • 1999-2006 • Little or no information regarding human resources in research • foreign institutions/researchers not eligible CEEX – Research for Excellence 2005-2007 • Designed as preparatory/training programmefor the Romanian research environment in the new FP • Module II – Development of Human Resources in Research

  9. National Programmes CEEX – Module II – Development of Human Resources in Research: • Research projects to support post-doctoral programmes (open to researchers of member countries/associated countries to FP or of third countries, by ANCS President’s Decision no. 914/13.04.2006) • Research projects for young researchers: Excellence research projects for young researchers, Research projects for return and reintegration of Romanian researchers abroad • Projects for mobility of researchers • Projects for training and improving management in research

  10. National Plan for Research, Development and Innovation 2 (PN2) 2007 - 2013 Programme 1. Human Resources Increasing the number of researchers and improving their professional performances Programme 2. Capacities Development of RDI infrastructures and their better connection and use at national and international level Programme 3. Ideas Generation of high level S&T results, contributing to a higher international visibility and recognition for Romanian research Programme 4. Partnerships in priority RDI fields Promotion of S&T partnerships leading to innovative technologies, products and services for solving complex problems in key application areas Programme 5. Innovation Promotion of industry-led research, technological development and innovation, based on the absorption of research results, for improving economic competitiveness and the quality of life Programme 6. Promoting institutional performance Promoting the continuity and stability of R&D institutions, through the development of their own strategies, in accordance with the National RDI Strategy

  11. National Plan for Research, Development and Innovation 2 (PN2) Increased importance of human resources in research = Human Resources component • Raising both the quantity and quality of the human resources in research • Raising the number of doctoral and post-doctoral studies for researchers • Raising research career attractiveness among university graduates • Reintegration grants for Romanian researchers abroad • Raising national and international mobility of researchers

  12. CNCSIS/UEFISCSU - The National University Research Council • the main Romanian funding organization for university and postgraduate research programmes • Formerly administrated Module II (Human Resources) of CEEX • Presently administrates Programme 1 (Human Resources) and 3 (Ideas) of the 2nd National Plan for Research (PN2) • Has its own institutional bilateral agreements for mobility of researchers (ex. with USA and Germany)
