Romanians interest in technology and science, at half the EU average
Around 15% Romanians are very interested in scientific discoveries and technology, almost half the average of European Union, a Eurobarometer survey on science and technology showed. The survey was carried in 32 European countries.
However, around 37% respondents are not at all interested in these fields, while at the European level, the average is 20%.
Around 43% of Romanians are moderately interested in technology and science versus 49% in EU.
58% of Romanians believe they are little informed about science, the EU27 average standing at 38%.
31% of Romanians say they receive only partial information they want about technology and science, while only 11% say they are very well informed about the two fields.
In Europe, the average is 50% (those who say they are partially informed) and 11% (those who think they are very informed).
The survey found that 27% Romanians believe it is not important to know about science in their daily lives, while the European average is 33%.
Eurobarometer survey was carried in 32 European countries ( EU Member States, and Iceland, Croatia, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey), through direct interviews with 21,243 persons between January 29 and February 25, 2010.
