This paper focuses on the team’s research activity in the field of European Project Management and follows the main themes proposed to the PhD students. The study will be focus on principles and practices specific to EU research project management, EU-funded research projects, opportunities regarding EU research projects and the Horizon 2020 program, Project Cycle Management and Project Sustainability and good practices from other countries. The research activity aims to provide support to young researchers, holding a PhD, starting or consolidating a research team, after they have setup an independent research program and that have obtained significant results in their field. The results will also be available to researchers working abroad and who wish to run research projects in research institutions in Romania. As a starting point, two strategies will be analyzed; SNCDI 2020 and Horizon 2020, then the literature will be reviewed to identify reports, articles on trends/evolutions in Romanian research. After conducting a critical and comprehensive literature review and identifying the current state of research, we will carry out a qualitative analysis of main research projects (title, key words, field, researcher affiliation, funded/non funded project, etc.) funded by a Romanian lines of funding that are representative for top researchers. We will take into account the main research topics submitted in competitions launched by UEFISCDI and analyze, namely, the „Research Projects for stimulating the setting-up of young independent research teams - type TE”. The case study will also include the application of questionnaires to PhD advisers, researchers and doctoral students in order to identify their main lines of research and establish that these are in accordance with SNCDI 2020 and Horizon 2020 strategies. The research impact will be of great importance not only for the university and local community but for the entire academic community of Romania. We hope that this research, we will motivate our PhD students to get involved in attracting more financing opportunities.
