Abstract: The transition of the traditional science and higher education to e-Science and e-Education is fueled by the ever increasing needs to have access, process and visualize of exceedingly large amounts of data that can’t be managed without modern communication and computing instruments. In the past years the European Commission has funded, through a number of targeted initiatives, creation of specialized eInfrastructures for providing IT services to research and educational communities to support collaborative research and education. In Eastern Europe, including in Moldova the existing resources of eIfrastructures are less developed than in Western Europe (ANTUN BALAZ, et. al., 2011). Advancing the Information Society, strengthening of the local eInfrastructures, activating new user communities, enabling access to modern educational content and technologies, to new instruments for collaborative research, would strongly contribute to closing the existing gap, and thus bridging the digital divide, stimulating research and consequently alleviating the brain drain in the region. At present the main facilities like Research and Educational networking infrastructure for effective data exchange, access to large-scale computing and other e-Infrastructures services is rapidly increasing in Moldova. eInfrastructure designates a new generation of integrated ICT based infrastructures and is widely considered as a key enabler of research and education development.

Abstract: In the last years we assist at the level of the Republic of Moldova and also at international level at a trend to offer financial support with a special focus on project-based funding. Once with the appearance and development of the project concept, other related concepts are being developed such as project management or newly, we can also speak about the projects marketing. Until recently, the product marketing was intensely discussed; concepts such as services marketing appeared afterwards, but also the specific marketing for various branches, such as agromarketing, political marketing, etc. Given that fact that the projects are a product / service itself, at the moment, more and more often projects marketing is discussed.

Abstract: In a very short period, economic globalization has changed the world economic order, creating new challenges but also new possibilities. Moldova can not be competitive in this new context, unless it becomes more innovative and responds more efficiently to the consumer needs and preferences. Taking in consideration the remittances and consumption as a result, are unable to fuel long-term economic growth of Moldova, we need a new paradigm of development that would increase based smart investment, innovation and competitiveness. During the 20 years of reform in Moldova, state policies have undergone into an essential metamorphosis: priorities have evolved gradually from fundamental science and military necessities to industrial and key technologies. Currently, it outlines a new stage, focusing on innovation and societal needs as a whole. An analysis of the sources of growth in Moldova in a classical representation of the production function Cob-Douglas suggests a very alarming conclusion - without a serious effort to change the paradigm of development, growth potential in the next 10 years is limited to a up to 4, 5% to 5% per year.
