Cristian has spent nearly week in the country collecting data and talking to several directors and heads of unit within the organisation on topics ranging from institutional and administrative capacity to local and business / start-up and innovation developments and policies, in this geographical area of Romania (which also borders Ukraine).
His findings will be reported to the European Commission and will contribute to a comparative set of case studies which will aim to have an impact on how institutions dealing with EU public funds will look like after 2027.
