Bulgarian INSAIT – Europe’s Top 10 in AI

The Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology (INSAIT), based in Sofia, has established itself as a key player for Bulgaria, positioning our country among the top ten in Europe in the field of artificial intelligence, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Education and Science.

INSAIT’s participation with 16 articles on CVPR, the most cited forum on artificial intelligence and computer vision, highlights its great contribution, with the total number of articles from Bulgaria surpassing that of all countries in Eastern Europe combined.

INSAIT outperforms leading universities and institutions from countries such as Israel, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria and many others, showing its high competitiveness on the international stage. Established in April 2022 in partnership with two of the world leaders in technical education, the Swiss ETH Zurich and EPFL, the institute represents a pioneering move for Eastern Europe, offering research opportunities and facilities comparable to global standards.

Supported by giants such as Google, Amazon Web Services, DeepMind, and others, as well as by technology entrepreneurs, INSAIT focuses on scientific excellence: conducting world-class research, attracting outstanding international scientists, and training the next generation of graduates and technology leaders. INSAIT is structured as a special unit of St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, with its own regulations and governing boards.
