Research culture in the Romanian universities: Searching for identity

Summary/Abstract: The Romanian higher education system has been experiencing substantial changes in the last years, in order to align to the European Higher Education Area and European Research Area. Despite the changes implemented at all levels, universities are still far away of the western European trends in knowledge production.The article discusses the role of factors such as funding and university governance and their role in shaping the place that universities have in academic and social field. Research management model and university governance, the internal dynamics in the knowledge production and transfer mechanisms are some of the aspects analysed. In addition, international visibility of universities, their efficiency in the knowledge production and the internal dynamics may indicate that Romania is in danger of expanding the distance from the emergent European Research Area.
