THE ROLE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

In this article, the authors analyse, based on the study, the correlation between research, innovation and development. Research in the field of economics is the aptitude of the Romanian Academy, which, from ancient times until now, has dealt with research under the most diverse forms of the technological level of the country. As far as economic research is concerned, it is very clear that in this field, many personalities have put their mark on the study and research of economic relations, the development of economic models, thinking and dare to publish large-scale works that have found place in libraries and research base of later researchers.

With regard to the international context, it emerges that Romanian researchers have had and still have an active presence, being members of various R & D institutions, as well as in the current development but especially the perspective of the scientific research in the field economic

Analysis of the Situation of Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Consumption in the European Union

In this article, the authors present the results of research undertaken in relation to the situation regarding renewable and non-renewable energy reserves in the European Union, as well as the way in which this energy is consumed. The general view presented regarding energy resources around the world is that oil, natural gas and coal are being exhausted at an alarming rate and if we continue to exploit these oil resources at our current pace, we will see a massive depletion in energy resources over the next 41 years. The authors also focus on representing the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions from energy consumption, demonstrating that it has shown a slight decrease in the European Union. The resources and consumption of renewable and non-renewable energy were analyzed in close interdependence with these indicators under study, such as final energy consumption, renewable energy and total energy production, in order to give a correct interpretation of how these resources are used. At the same time, starting from the fact that the world economy is currently facing a cluster of crises (pandemic, financial-economic, energy, general resources), it was deemed important to highlight the fact that the total production of energy demonstrated an oscillating trend during this period
