Following this approach, we explore the capacity of spreading the knowledge and innovation capital in the NorthWest region of Romania between universities, the private sector and the public sector. Also, the study explores the role taken by the university system in Romania, locally and regionally, emphasizing what type of relationship defines the exchange of outputs and what are the most useful know-how transfer mechanisms from universities to the private and public sectors. The empirical research in this paper has shown that there is a growing relationship between universities-private sector-public sector, which is characterized as 'in an incipient phase', 'based on urgent needs of the parties'. All of the actors involved in this triad want to develop the links between universities-private sector-public sector in communication, research, innovation and technology, and they suggest standardization and regulation of this interaction and developing a legal framework to correspond to the actual needs at local and regional levels.

My objective is to explore gender differences in answers to the scientific literacy scale items, in order to identify variations in levels of scientific literacy and also variation in style factors. Gender sensitivity is variable across items and across style factors in different countries. I explore the distribution of DK answers and acquiescent answers across gender categories and countries. I use the Romanian “Science and the public - STISOC” 2009 survey, covering a national sample, and the 2005 Eurobarometer 63.1, in order to conduct a comparative analysis at European level.

We use survey data from the Romanian “Science and the public - STISOC” 2009 project to investigate the association between several indicators of schooling, on one hand, and scientific, medical and technological literacy, on the other hand. We also investigate the interaction of education with other variables such as gender, age and locality type, highlighting the main lines of differentiation in the public acquaintance with science, medicine and information technology.
While discussing in depth the Romanian public, we also use the Eurobarometer CC-EB 2002/3 “New Europeans, Science and Technology” and the 2005 Eurobarometer 63.1 to investigate the strength of this association comparatively across European societies. We explore changes in school relevance for scientific literacy across different social contexts, focusing on the difference between postsocialist countries and other European countries, and also on variation within the category of postsocialist societies.
