ABSTRACT: The article intends to present the achievements of a research Romanian project
“Knowledge management architecture in environmental, social and economic areas,
designed to support the sustainable regional development strategy”. The main goal of the
project is to improve the regional knowledge management, using a virtual framework for the
design of the regional development strategy. The innovation introduced by this approach
consists in the integration of the regional actors’ views, in order to develop a realistic
regional development strategy, on a democratic and scientific base. The challenge of this
vision is to create a virtual environment for the regional knowledge management and
consensus building related to the regional strategy development. The scientific base for the
design of the regional development strategy is represented by an improved set of socio-
economic indicators and benchmarking tools.

Keywords: regional sustainable development set of sustainable development indicators, embedded
