From the beginning of 2025, Bulgarian scientists will work on a large-scale project related to hydrogen and hydrogen technologies to help develop cleaner transport and energy, science communicator Petar Teodosiev said in an interview for BNR. In his words, within the next seven years, the achievements will make Bulgaria a leader in this field in the Balkans.

According to Petar Teodosiev, one of the greatest successes of Bulgaria’s science this year is the Bulgarian-language artificial intelligence (AI) model BgGPT, created by the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology (INSAIT) at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski".

Despite the modest budget, Bulgaria is developing successfully in the field of science, contends Petar Teodosiev. He referred to the large number of higher education institutions in the country and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, which has about 50 institutes.
