Plamena Ilieva Awarded the Google DeepMind AI Scholarship for 2025–2026

The scholarship is part of an international initiative by Google DeepMind AI aimed at supporting highly motivated students in the fields of artificial intelligence and computer science. Through its partnership with Google DeepMind AI, the GATE Institute continues to strengthen its role as a leading center for education and research in big data and artificial intelligence, as well as an active member of the European and global academic community.

Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski,” through the GATE Institute, is one of only four organizations in Europe authorized to award the Google DeepMind AI Scholarship to master’s students, alongside École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay (France), the University of Warsaw (Poland), and the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (Romania).

Bulgaria contributes to Europe’s cleantech development through FINEX ecosystem mapping

Bulgaria is part of the Horizon Europe FINEX project, which aims to strengthen cooperation across European innovation ecosystems and improve access to environments where cleantech and deep-tech solutions can be tested and validated. A central activity in the early stages of the project has been the creation of a cross-regional database mapping testing and experimentation spaces. For Bulgaria, this process provided a clearer overview of the national landscape and shed light on both existing capabilities and areas where further development could support cleantech innovation.
