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.
