It is or pleasure to kick off with the pilot edition of the European Fellowship for Young Researchers (EFYR), our brand new initiative to stimulate the young people in our community to develop their research skills and perhaps pursue a research career.
Basically, #EFYR provides those selected with the opportunity to have all the GEYC resources for their research, access to GEYC communication channels for the dissemination of the most interesting research results, as well as guidance and access to other connected opportunities in the field.
Especially in the last 3 years, the GEYC activity has started to develop on more and more plans, plans that periodically intersect with the research activity. GEYC team members also have 3-10 years of experience in GEYC's fields of action.
On the other hand, the continuous development of GEYC activities makes us consider taking the research activity to another level and making available to the community members the community resources that can serve the research activity:
- Over 4000 members in the GEYC Community and statistical/demographic data on their profile;
- Over 100 partner organizations at European level and membership in dozens of formal and informal networks;
- Connecting with reference institutions at European level in research activity (European and academic institutions);
- Experience in over 10 strategic partnership projects at European level carried out in the last 7 years;
- The existence of the own resources library within the GEYC Resources Center: geyc.ro/publications which is disseminated periodically.
Duration of the programme: February - June 2021

How well prepared are the local public administrations in the rural areas for the digitalization of the system by the effective renunciation of the sheets and the physical presence of the person at the public institution. Furthermore, we are analysing how this is taking into account that many of their users are elderly. How eager are local public institutions for these changes? What about young people? In the end, we want to show that COVID-19 forced the public system both centrally and locally to be adaptable to the changes of the 21st century.
