5.3. Information on the development policy of human resources for R&D

The recruitment of personnel is done by selecting students and master students with meritous results in
the practical activities carried out in the institutes’ laboratories, by attracting young researchers with scientific
and technical activity acknowledged in the national and international scientific environment. The existence of
the “Alexandru Proca” Center for the Youngsters Initiation in Scientific Research (CICST) in research activities
of young fellows and development of partnerships with the academic environment (University of Bucharest,
University Politehnica of Bucharest) has a special role in attracting youngsters towards the research area within
this institute.
Increasing the RDI potential through professional training and ensuring a career in research is achieved
through the participation of young researchers at national and international internships by: job promotion
competitions, doctoral and master studies, participation in internal and international scientific events.
Personnel motivation is given by the working conditions (high‑tech equipment, friendly work
environment, increased workplace safety, healthcare) as well as by the existence of a system for employees
acknowledgment and rewarding.

Achieving the scientific objectives of the institute involves:
1. Maintaining the personnel structure (more than 70% university graduates), a greater number of
doctorates in natural sciences and engineering, and also a greater number of doctoral students;
2. Maintaining the personnel average age at around the current age (50 years), by engaging young
researchers every year.
In order to compensate the annual increase of our personnel average age, the following measures will be
adopted:
2.1. Continue the policy of employing young personnel by selecting students and master students
which proved meritorious results in practical work carried out in the institute’s laboratories;
2.2. Employing young experienced researchers which are well known in national and international
scientific environment;
2.3. Maintaining the share of researchers with the age less than 35;
2.4. Employing of researchers on fixed‑term so as to achieve the scientific research projects;
3. A continuous improvement of working conditions (high performance equipment, clean working
environment, higher security in the workplace, healthcare, access to the latest scientific publications
in the field);
4. Supporting young researchers in doctoral studies on topics in which the institute is involved;
5. Improving the personnel skills through participation in specialized courses;
6. Increasing the mobility of researchers in European and international research centers and initiate
exchange programs with other research centers in Europe;
7. A continuous improvement of the personnel training in the management of quality and environment
through specific activities of training, attending scientific meetings, thus ensuring a competitive,
creative and motivated personnel;
8. Increasing the number of specialists with international visibility necessary for accessing national funds
as a project coordinator, increasing the number of international / national evaluators and experts;
9. The personnel of ITA ECOMAT ICPE‑CA, St. George branch, together with professionals in our
Technology Transfer Center will be trained further in order to increase the number of contacts with the
industry;
10. The involvement of young researchers in the laboratory activities: research projects, standardized
analysis, development of scientific works;
