Modern theories of intelligence have developed from the observation that the person, throughout life, is in constant development. In order to be successful, certain conditions must be met. These conditions for achieving success in life depend on the skills that are formed during formal education, or at least should be pursued as goals, beyond the disciplines. In a current information society, the quality of life as well the perspectives of social change and economic development depend on information and its exploitation, especially in the institutional field of managing computer applications for the absorption of European funds, becoming a matter of national importance, with critical values for national security, characterized by the state of economic equilibrium. Scientific knowledge and information are of particular importance in the global information society by: supporting innovation through technology, promoting economic development through the use of emerging technologies, making decisions efficiently and transparently at government level. The implementation and use of intelligent technologies have a decisive role in the development of the degree of digitization of public services through non-refundable funding from European funds and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The reinvention of the government can be transformed into a reality through the digitization and computerization of the public administration, assuming the modernization of the infrastructure through specific sources of funding, such as European funds, ensuring security through advanced cyber protection and defense capabilities against possible vulnerabilities, risks or cyber-attacks. Achieving performance within the public institution requires an increased concern for innovation, creativity and change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors influence stock returns and economic performance in the EU. It delves into advanced economies, GIIPS (Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain), and CEE (Central and Eastern Europe) countries. By analyzing data, the study highlights areas for improvement in the EU's ESG performance, such as resource use and social equity. Interestingly, the analysis finds that strong corporate governance, particularly in CEE, is linked to higher stock returns, suggesting the value of sound regulations. Conversely, environmental performance shows a negative correlation with returns in CEE, likely due to the region's historical dependence on heavy industry. Overall, this study emphasizes how ESG can guide investors towards companiespromotmg sustainable economic growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
