Modul de formare-Managementul resurselor financiare - uefiscdi

The CNFIS publishing regarding "The influence of the qualitative indicators over the core
funding allocation for 2009" and about "The influence of the qualitative criteria used for the
measurement of the performances in the academic scientific research in 2009" allows each
university to conduct an analysis of its own place in the hierarchy (in terms of the qualitative
indicators) among the 49 higher education institutions in Romania with budget financing. The
"gain" or the "loss" of budgetary financing due to the amount of the quality indicators will have
an impact on the university strategy.
