ACADEMIC POLICIES AND STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WITH TALENT IN TECHICAL DOMAINS

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we are concerned about the educational policies and strategies conceived in order to support the talented youth, through the way how the main technical universities in Romania involved in this topic. The research methodology was based on the analysis made to the official documents of six of the most prestigious technical universities in Romania (Military Technical Academy, Polytechnic University and Technical University of Civil Engineering, all from Bucharest, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Technical University “Gheorghe Asachi” from Iasi and “Politehnica” University of Timisoara). We have researched the educational policies and strategies undertaken by these universities, objectified in documents such as “University Charta”, “Institutional Development Strategy” and “Regulations for scholarships”. Our effort in analysis directed us to the possibility of concluding some positive aspects, but some inadequacies also, in what concerns supporting young talent in the technical through policies and educational strategies. For example, there is a large number of performance development programs implemented in the academic field, formally and non-formally, designed, developed through the staff of the universities.
