The terms and conditions for applying for the new stage of the EXPLORER programme of the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology INSAIT at the St. Kliment Ohridski University in Sofia are to be presented today.
EXPLORER is an AI excellence program, launched in 2024, enabling the country’s most talented high-schoolers in mathematics and computer science to stay in Bulgaria and achieve world-class education in science and technology. With the help of donations by tech companies, the programme provides monthly fellowships of 2,000 Leva over a period of four years, allowing the students to focus on their education while working on projects in innovative spheres – large language models, computer vision, robotics, machine learning, algorithms etc.
The first major achievement came a few days ago – one of the fellowship students, first-year student Maria Drencheva, put down her name alongside the leading authors of one of the world’s most prestigious AI forums - the International Conference on Learning Representations, ICLR.
