Abstract
The global digital transformation increases availability and integrates digital technologies into all economic activities and at all business levels. Thus, digital transformation has evolved from a competitive advantage to a current necessity. The role of scientific research centers in the field of digital transformation is to guide a society in the implementation of this transformation, to find the most reliable, flexible, efficient solutions and methods to deploy, implement, and use it. This study aims to examine the relationship between the activity related to the digital transformation of scientific research centers and The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) in the European Union. For this analysis, a bibliometric analysis is used, based on the Web of Science database, the number of researchers and articles on digital transformation. The results will be correlated with the level of digitalization in EU economies, considering the value of the DESI for EU countries.
