INDI-DeR   projcets   will   analyze   the   multidimensional   valences   of   the   trinomial   relationship   between   institutions-digitalization- development   at   European,   national   and   LAU2   level   and   to   quantify   the   effects   of   digitalization   in   various   sectors,   proposing new   tools   to   facilitate   the   absorption   of   new   technologies   to   ensure   the   way   forward   smart   development.   The   identification   of what   represent   good   institutions   in   each   national   context   and   the   finding   of   the   effective   institutional   mix,   in   association   with the digitalization, can be the key elements in substantiating smart development policies.   Main objective The   objective   of   the   project   is   to   contribute   to   the   better   understanding   of   the   interdependencies   between   institutions (formal   and   informal)   and   digitalization   from   the   perspective   of   the   smart   governance   challenges   and   of   the   core-periphery structural   differentiations   dynamics   in   order   to   provide   new   theoretical   frameworks,   methods   and   tools   for   institutional- based policies towards a more inclusive digital economy and society. The specific objectives:   investigate   theoretical   and   empirical   interdependencies   between   institutions   and   digitalization   processes   in   EU   (with   an in-depth   analysis   for   Romania   at   local   level)   and   the   development   of   an   innovative   conceptual   and   methodological framework for an institutional milieu of a digital economy and society; assess   the   legal   framework   of   digitalization   at   EU   and   Romanian   levels   looking   to   the   institutional   changes   generated   by the   digitalization   policies   and   practices   from   the   perspective   of   the   inter-conditionalities   between   the   legal   system   and the smart development; evaluate   the   multi-dimensional,   multi-scale   and   multi-actor   dimensions   of   the   trinomial   relationship   digitalization   institutions    –    regional    development    in    EU    from    the    perspective    of    the    core-periphery    structural    differentiations dynamics; map   the   digitalization   process   in   Romania   (performant   areas   vs.   “digital   cold   spots”)   and   to   provide   a   comprehensive analysis of the digital transformations at local and individual level; develop a new “Quadruple Helix” governance configuration for institutional work related with digital transformation; identify   the   institutional   challenges   in   the   context   of   the   disruptive   generated   by   the   COVID   19   pandemic   based   on   in- depth case studies; advance   the   research   in   interdisciplinary   teams   and   the   transfer   of   expertise   between   experienced   and   young   scholars from   several   European   countries   in   the   interest   of   increasing   the   research   performance   of   projects’   members   and   the international visibility of Romanian-based research. Expected results The project results will be quantified in research: Project coordinator This project is coordinated by Gabriela Carmen PASCARIU
