The general objective of the Anelis Plus 2020 project is to increase Romania’s RDI capacity in the areas of smart specialisation and health and fully overlaps with the specific objective of the programme. The project will increase the involvement of the Romanian research environment in specialised international research networks, of major importance for the future development of science and technology, and at the same time contribute to the development of the appropriate information infrastructure to support large and complex research projects. The project is also linked to the specific objective of increasing Romanian participation in research at EU level because, through its objectives and expected results, it increases the visibility of Romanian research and facilitates links with research structures in the international environment.
