Research is considered the engine behind economic development and the creation of new jobs, with a major influence in all other spheres of development (trade, environment, education, health). At European level, research-development is a focal point of development strategies.
This subfield comprises three main indicators and six secondary indicators, that offer an illustrative image of research in Romania, regarding financing, human resources involved, and results obtained.

Some secondary indicators refer to the percentage of R&D expenditure from various sources (government, private sector, academic sector, NGOs) and, respectively, the structure of R&D expenditure by economic sectors. Other secondary indicators offer details about human resources in this sector: percentage of researchers of total labour force in R&D, full-time researchers by economic sectors, and the number of PhD graduates per 1000 inhabitants (they represent the talent pool for R&D employees).
It is competence that makes the difference!
