Moldova's Research, Development and Innovation Sector: Is Reform Needed?
Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
This study assesses Moldova's state policy in research, development and innovation (RDI) from a good-governance perspective and compares the country's performance with other countries. Its aim is to clarify whether reform is needed, and it seeks to inform current debates on reforming support policy and reorganising the sector.
The document is organised in five chapters. The first offers a brief retrospective of policy developments in the RDI sphere. The second analyses the resources and results of Moldova's RDI sector in international comparison.
The third chapter evaluates the current policy against good-governance criteria. The fourth shows that reform of the RDI sphere is genuinely necessary and identifies the main reform options. The fifth sets out the key recommendations and proposes the optimal model for reforming the policy that supports the RDI sphere.
