"but no Romanian University is within the top 500 at the computer science section" http://news.ubbcluj.ro/noutati/universitatea-babes-bolyai-%E... As most people who live there, you have an insider's perspective and you tend to overestimate how other places are doing. Cluj and Bucharest are islands in that country, in terms of economic growth. The biggest strength of the IT sector in Cluj is its drive and motivation. These things take time but there is no reason to deny that there is potential. Comparing such a small city like Cluj to London and cities in the US is not very fair. You can certainly find very talented people in Cluj who could work on startups, however this is clearly not the majority. Like everywhere. |

I mentioned that no university is in top 500 at COMPUTER SCIENCE. And they are not. Babes is ranked higher since a professor published some articles but on math, and not CS. And it was done in partnership with some Saudi University. But as for CS, there is no university in the 500 rank. That is a bit of paradox right there.
Yes, comparing Cluj or Bucharest with London is not fair. But comparing Bucharest with Helsinki is. Bucharest has a higher population, and thus has more potential. But Helsinki clearly outperforms Bucharest, be it in universities, companies or projects.
And for the other points, I agree with you.
Thanks for you commentz, Balazs.
