SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH", regarding the following components:
Financed Programs and Projects;
Case Studies and Research Guidelines;
Published Titles;
Scientific Events and Conferences;
The research activity within the RAU is structured according to the national and European guidelines and emphasizes the
combination of theoretical, interdisciplinary and practical research.
Since 2003, this approach has linked the university with some of the most important national and international research
programs: "Programul National de Cercetare-Dezvoltare si Inovare" (PNCDI) / "National Program for Research-
Development and Innovation", "Cercetare de Excelenta” (CEEX) / "Excellency Research", GRANT-uri C.N.C.S.I.S. / CNCSIS

pragmatism, represents a main direction for the participation of the
teaching staff to the
partnership financed projects.
The scientific research involves both staff and students of the RAU, the directions covering diverse topics from the
economics, law and IT fields.
A strong accent is put on the partnerships with other higher education institutions from both the US and Europe, with
research institutes, with professional associations and prestigious consulting firms.
Inside the RAU academic environment there were established the
Research Department and the
Economics

Research Department and are based on the
