The project is implemented by Valahia University of Targoviste and aims at financing, establishing, and operationalizing the Networking and Career Development Center for Research in the South-Muntenia Region (CNDCSM) in accordance with the requirements of PNRR-III-C9-2022-I10 through the creation of its own portal, the ERA TALENT PLATFORM. The main objectives of the project are: the establishment of the CNDCSM, the inclusion in the project of 44 fields of study and 5248 students, master's students, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers from the country and abroad who will receive career counseling within the center, the inclusion of the applicant in the network of 8 regional career counseling centers for young researchers and beyond. These objectives are correlated with program activities and indicators and aim to attract as many researchers as possible into the national RDI system, supporting them in accessing and participating in competitive fields.

The implementation of the project, consisting of the establishment of the CNDCSM, is justified by the alignment of Valahia University of Targoviste with the European standards regarding human resources in education and research, as well as its adherence to the ERA TALENT PLATFORM and the increased visibility of EURAXESS, which will lead to an increase in the applicant’s visibility and competitiveness in RDI activities.

The context in which this project is being implemented targets economic and industrial development through RDI, carried out both by the researchers of Valahia University of Targoviste and ICSTM, as well as by emerging researchers — students, master’s students, PhD candidates, both Romanian and foreign — who conduct doctoral studies and practical training internships in universities and companies in our country. The South-Muntenia Region has the potential for economic development in both competitive industrial fields and agriculture. Thus, Valahia University of Targoviste contributes essentially to regional development by training specialists in various fields with economic and social impact, as well as through supporting scientific research activities, technical innovation, and technology transfer, especially in the context of the global energy and economic crises.
