In Romania terms related to urban regeneration or urban innovation are still pretty rare both in academic and urban-creative world. The research showed a general lack of this vision in the collective mindset, which is reflected in lack of university programmes, training and job offers.   

The research showed a lack of open job positions addressed to the urban regeneration and innovation area at the national level. The University of Timisoara, which conducted the research nationally, reported that they “expected a relatively small supply, but not an absence entirely”. Nevertheless, interviews and questionnaires results have outlined the key elements – in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes – that should compose the Urban Regenerator job profile. Among them there is creativity, compassion, empathy, sense of mission, social justice, openness to people and environment.
