Summary/Abstract: Since the 2008, the first signs of global financial crisis, the European Union began a series of actions and plans that were to be found today under the name: „Europe 2020 – A European strategy for economic and sustainable growth and inclusion favorable”. Innovation has been placed in the center of the EU 2020 strategy for growth and job creation. Romania, with the other 26 Member States adopted its own national targets in these areas. Various actions at European and national level support the strategy. In this respect, the National Authority for Scientific Research was created from the initiative of the Government of Romania, under the guardianship of the Ministry of National Education. The European Union is one of the most scientifically productive in the world but, however, does not provide sufficient areas of global excellence where research generates breakthrough results that may cause structural changes. The main responsibility for building a competitive public science base belongs to the Member States. It is clear that the EU support can add value, as done in the past through various initiatives that have helped create the European Research Area (ERA). It is essential to study how it can the provided funding be used by the Common Strategic Framework to accelerate progress towards a truly unified ERA.
