But after the country's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the difficult economic and social situation led to tough cuts and low levels of investment in the sector. As a result, Moldova's research and education system is facing difficulties like limited resources (both financial and human), outdated infrastructure and low involvement of businesses. However, with the right support, Moldova's rich traditions in education and research can not only be revived but also strengthened. Committed to improving Moldova's research and innovation (R&I) system, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research requested a Country Review through the PSF in March 2020. This was the country's second PSF exercise (the first one was completed in 2016), and it aimed to support the government with: - reviewing the funding system for public research; - setting up a comprehensive policy for the development and effective use of public R&I infrastructures; and - developing measures to strengthen the links between research and business. Between June 2021 and December 2022, a panel of independent experts and peer reviewers drew on national and international sources, including the 2016 PSF report. They also consulted with over 60 actors from policy, research and higher education as well as business organisations. As a result, the panel made recommendations for the three areas of interest above. With the recommendations from this PSF exercise, the Moldovan government aims to improve its 2024−2027 R&I programme and its 2023−2027 strategic priorities for R&I activities.
