What is a think tank and where does it fit into the public policy ecosystem? In this article, we explain the role of Edge Institute as a bridge between expertise and decision-making, the balance between autonomy and utility, and the difference from academia or lobby organizations. We take an active role in accelerating Romania’s digital transformation, through rigorous research, dialogue, and implementation of concrete solutions.
In this article, we discuss the Digital Governance Framework for Romania report, commissioned by the Edge Institute and produced by Digital Nation, a group of experts and leaders of digital transformation efforts in Estonia.
Through this report, we aimed to answer the following questions: what is the main strategic problem in Romania’s digital governance, what would a feasible governance model at the central level look like, with roles, mandates and coordination mechanisms that can be realistically implemented in the next two years, how should political and strategic leadership be reconfigured within the new model, and what reforms are needed to accelerate digital transformation.
During the Radio Guerilla show, the executive director of the Edge Institute, Robert Berza, talks about digitalization as a country vision, the importance of accelerating it, but also about the challenges that come with it.
This article analyzes the study conducted by Edge Institute and Ipsos on Romanians’ trends regarding digitalization. The study analyzes the main problems, desires of Romanians, but also the potential fears they have in this regard.
