Summary/Abstract: Higher education plays a key role in achieving the objectives of the European Strategy 2014 - 2020, as it is presented at the level of strategic directions and indicators. The principles considered with regards to the development strategy of higher education have, as a main idea, the increase of long-term economic competitiveness. This is possible through the gradual transition to a knowledge-based economy and a growing demand for highly skilled jobs. In order to accomplish the central objective, there must be a highly qualified workforce of tertiary education graduates who can guarantee in all areas an increase in efficiency processes as well as quality of the resulting products. So as to achieve the focal purpose, the Europe 2020 strategy proposes to improve three support requirements: the funding model, governance and public accountability and the institutionalization of the evidence-based policy-making process.Based on the recommendations, the National Research, Development and Innovation Strategy 2014- 2020 for Romania, as an integral part of the Europe 2020 strategy, sets its general objectives helped by the experience of the previous strategic cycle which showed that the program results depend on building and maintaining a wide partnership for innovation. With innovation as its central theme, a pillar of the RDI Strategy 2014 - 2020, we want the analysis proposed in this document, even if not exhaustive, to capture various relevant aspects regarding the stimulation of research/ innovation in Romania and boost the visibility of our country in a European context. A study on the evolution of the number of PhD students and researchers in the last 10 years, as well as the level of funding, can provide useful information on the phenomenon studied. This type of analysis can help the organization and exploration of higher education decision-makers in choosing the best research development strategy at European level.
