The final result of ROSTREC Project will be a strategy that is addressing to policy makers, decision makers, specialists in energy and critical infrastructures protection, but also wants to have a major impact on the civil society and the Romanian society at large.

In this respect the publicity will focus on several target groups:
• The Romanian policy makers, at the level of the Ministries and of the state institutions, actors that, on the basis of the findings of this project, can further elaborate new policies and have new legal initiatives at the level of the European Commission;
• The Romanian private actors and international companies based in Romania that operate in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, and/or own critical infrastructures;
• The Romanian civil society and the NGOs as a key element that can better asses and understand the energy situation in Romania and can further promote the knowledge at the population level;
• The international experts in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, energy security and critical infrastructures protection.

This project will benefit from publicity at different levels, addressing according with the main target groups:

The objective of the present project (ROSTREC) is to promote the energy efficiency and renewable energy sources together with the securing of an adequate protection of the critical infrastructures, by developing an Energy Security Strategy for Romania. The document should revise, update and complete the existing Romanian strategies in the field, with a much larger vision, taking into account:
- Romania new statute of EU membership (with focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy sources);
- the international experience (mainly Norwegian);
- the new developments in energy security and critical infrastructures protection.
The topic of this project resulted from the Think Tank meeting "Energy Security, Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resiliency, organised in Lucerna, Switzerland, by the World Security Forum and EURISC Foundation with the support of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The result of these 10 months of work will be an intellectual end product with immediate utility for the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Romania.
The project will establish, during an inception meeting in March 2009, the project implementation structures (Drafting Group; Working Groups, PM team) and the detailed work plan. The Strategy chapters will be developed by the experts, and wide participatory mechanisms will be put in place to secure the feed back. A progress evaluation meeting will be organised during the drafting process. All experts' contributions will be integrated in a final draft, subsequently submitted to a peer review. The final product will be submitted for endorsement to the Ministry of Economy and Finance and then translated and printed both in Ro and En. The project publicity, monitoring and reporting will be provided on current basis.
