Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to assess the human resources development policies in the universities. The assessment will focus on several key areas of HR policies: recruitment, motivation, training and career development in universities. The existing HR policies in Romanian universities will be compared with similar policies in varies EU member states as well as by reference to the transforming processes of higher education in Europe (e.g. qualifications frameworks, internationalization of education etc.). If training policies are well defined and regulated in case of preuniversity education, it is not the same in case of higher education where the continuous training and lifelong learning processes are not embedded in national made policies, but rather embedded in less coherent institutional policies and individual actions. Within the restructuring of higher education recalled in the Bologna processes, training and development policies of academic staff need special focus. Recommendations to be made will be based on the assessment conclusions.
