In the period 2007-2013, the budget sector research, development, innovation and technology transfer (RDITT) in Romania was about 4 billion euro, i.e. an average of about 0.47% of Romania's GDP in the seven years. By comparison, in the German State of Baden-Wuerttemberg (BW) is invested annually in RDITT about 5.1% of state GDP, the industrial sector contributes nearly 80% of investments. A decisive role in the development of the RDITT in BW it has RDITT catalyst institutions such as Max-Planck Society, Fraunhoffer Society, Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers, Innovation Alliance, Steinbeis Foundation. This research aims to reveal the huge potential and benefits it can bring research, innovation and technology transfer in sustainable development of agriculture in Romania using catalyst institutions model. The material used in this study was experts of academia, experts of economics, promoting documents and laboratories visited at the University of Tubingen and at the Natural and Medical Sciences Institute of Reutlingen, Germany. The methods used were documentation, real visiting of the two institutions and analysis the facts and the documents. The conclusion is that using the European models of technology transfer (especially the German model), all the benefits will be found in the future in Romanian economy, bringing added value to the quality of life and wellbeing.
Agriculture played a major role in the development of society since old times. The new paradigm of sustainable growth emphasizes the role of agriculture in economic growth, in ensuring food security, in poverty reduction, in the reduction of income disparities, in the development of the rural area and environmental protection. Fiscal policy is the means by which the government of a country interferes within the economy to stimulate or soothe its growth. Because the application of tax policy affects consumer demand of the society, it is considered that the fiscal policy operates on the market of goods and services units. Romanian Government's vision fiscal policy is focused on ensuring a stimulating role of taxes in order to increase the economic growth, to fiscal consolidation and to development and strengthening the middle class. The purpose of this article is to identify and highlight the impact of fiscal policy on sustainable rural economic development of Romania, in the context of Romanian rural economy realities and needs of the economic and social environment to become competitive on the European market. In order to reach our objective, we have used fundamental research methods consisting in reading of the specialized literature in this field and some articles and studies covering this topic. One of the most important decisions to make is that individual entities become legal entities with legal personality. There are necessary internal and external financing in agriculture based on investment (investment projects), involving agricultural companies and agricultural associations (not individuals bodies). Last but not least, we appreciate that the taxation of agricultural incomes is still a necessity, given the principle of universality tax, leaving it to the experts to determine the dimensions of income rules.
In the last 15 years, from the point of view of enrollment, the evolution of higher education in the fields of agriculture and veterinary medicine emphasizes a continuous increase in the number of students. In this study we propose an analysis of the SOP HRD impact on the doctoral studies in the fields of agronomy and veterinary medicine, expressed in publishing activity, participations to conferences and rate of overall defended theses by four Universities of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine from Romania. STATISTICA v. 8.0 for Windows, software was used for data processing. Strong interrelationships are emphasized (R = 0.873, 76.30%) between the defended doctoral theses, published papers and presented papers at conferences.. According to the Principal Component Analysis, the number of published papers has almost the same importance (52.10%), although is slightly higher, compared to the number of presentations held at conferences (47.90%). The Cluster Analysis and ANOVA Analysis of Variance show that published papers are the most important factor in defending doctoral theses considered in all 8 SOP HRD projects in the field of agronomy and veterinary medicine.
Taking into account the importance of human capital and the Romanian strategy in this area, in the last decade, a Sectoral Operational Programme concerning Human Resources (SOP HRD) has been implemented. In this study, we emphasize the impact of SOP HRD on the rate of defended doctoral theses and publishing activity of doctoral students from the fields of agronomy and veterinary medicine. Research was carried out on four public Universities of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine from: Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi and Timisoara. Data were processed using STATISTICA v. 8.0 for Windows, software. Very strong multiple correlations are emphasized between result indicators with values from R = 0.999 for UASVM Bucharest, to R = 0.961 UASVM Timisoara. Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis show that published papers have a great importance (99.50%-99.40%) for the number of doctoral theses defended within SOP HRD projects developed by the UASVMs from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and Iasi, while the presentations given at conferences seem to have a minor role. In UASVM Timisoara's case, both published papers and presentations given at conferences appear to have almost the same importance (51.08%, and 48.92%, respectively) for the number of defended doctoral theses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
