Romania's budget for research and development is significantly lower than the EU average, prompting calls for increased funding. Professor Dan Voiculescu highlights the need for a tenfold budget increase by 2027 to retain young researchers. Over the past decade, Romania's funding per capita has decreased, contrasting with the EU's growth. Voiculescu advocates for direct state funding of research projects and tax exemptions for researchers to enhance the sector. He warns that underfunding affects national security and defense capabilities.
