Paper Abstract:
|
The aim of the paper is to describe the state of scientific transport research capability in Romania in the past decade, particularly between 2000÷2010, in an effort to support the development of a sustainable transport system. Sustainable development of the transport sector has been a theme discussed and addressed largely by the scientific research institutes worlwide, rather than central authorities. Within this context, in Romania, there is limited governmental support and interest with respect to transport sector scientific research. In spite of these shortcomings, a number of projects were supported from the state, as well as, EU budget. They were aimed at promoting the development and modernization of the Romanian transport sector. More it can be done and achieved in the Romanian transport sector if the main causes of the existing disconnect between government intentions to modernize the transport sector and Romanian transport scientific research capacity will disappear. In the same vein, the lack of international projects managed by Romanian organizations must be addressed, in the future, in order to truly increase the visibility of Romanian transport research field capability. |
