Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of data collected about the educational track of university students, using a “reverse clustering” approach. The results are interpreted in the context of a crowdsourcing effort made by authors and the respondents of the questionnaire, in order to extract relevant data for the countries involved in the study. The results obtained and reported here indicate that the cultural profiles of the respondents have a great influence regarding the responses, associated with the educational and professional perspectives of the students involved.

The project, entitled “Multiparticipant cooperative decision making: consensus building vs. crowdsourcing-based decisions”, is implemented by the Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Bucharest University of Economic Sciences in the framework of bilateral cooperation between the Academies of the two countries.
