The most valuable contribution was developing the National Strategy on Digital Agenda for Romania 2020, which aims to drive Romanian citizens and businesses to get the most out of the new technologies and help boost the national economy accordingly. Another recognition was leading towards success “Knowledge based Economy”, the most innovative ICT-based programme in Romania, a European and internationally recognized project that revived 255 k-deprived rural communities via intelligent use of modern technologies.
Previously, as General Director for Information Society in the Ministry of resort for 4 years, I coordinated the definition and review of the national policies for e-inclusion, ICT in pre-university education, eGovernment for local and central administration, acting also as a national coordinator for several systemic IT&C projects.
