Institutional instability and fragmentation, as well as unpredictable funding, were highlighted as key bottlenecks. The experts also identified human resources as an area that needs improvement, pointing out two main barriers. First, institutions have different working conditions and time available for research. Second, the system cannot attract and/or retain younger researchers, which results in severe brain drain (emigration of local researchers to other countries). To support the 10 policy messages, the panel presented 30 detailed recommendations on the Romanian public science base.
