The content of this article reflects the results gathered during the implementation of the project Modernization of Governance Mechanisms focused on the protection of human rights, financed by the State Programme, and initiated in 2020, which main objective is to analyze the particularities of the transition process of the Republic of Moldova to European standards and in the context of digital transformation. Framed by the convergent approach and the opportunities offered by digital tools in the modernization of the state institutions activity, the main research steps and some preliminary results are presented. Considering the challenge to successfully develop the capacities and meet the EU accession conditions, altogether with the fast technological progress and the need to harness the opportunities it offers for the governance, we advocate for the need to embrace new development paradigms, new ways of interaction, and new legal mechanisms in order to ensure legality, institutional and professional efficiency.
