The Ministry of Education and Research, through the National Research Authority, has appointed independent expert evaluators to assess the performance of 18 research organizations in Romania, under Law no. 25/2023. The evaluation process, which will later be extended nationwide, aims to ensure a transparent and objective analysis aligned with the standards of the European Research Area.
The initiative seeks to strengthen international competitiveness, support institutional modernization, and link research funding directly to demonstrated performance.
“This is one of the most important reforms in the Romanian academic environment, which will redefine the architecture of the national research and higher education systems,” stated Prof. Daniel David, Minister of Education and Research.

On the evening of 23 September 2025, a large fire broke out at a warehouse in Sector 2 of Bucharest, on the former Antrefrig industrial platform in Pantelimon. At the time of the fire, the Bucharest area was under stable atmospheric conditions with light to moderate winds from the northeast and east, directing smoke towards the observatory. Smoke particles were distributed from ground level up to 400 m altitude.
Around 23:00, RADO-Bucharest instruments recorded:
-
Instantaneous PM1 mass concentrations about five times higher than on the previous day;
-
PM10 mass concentrations reaching up to 150 µg/m³.
