The National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest hosted a national seminar on 15 October 2026, dedicated to the governance model of the Common European Agricultural Data Space (CEADS). The event, held with the institute's support, aimed to gather input from Romanian public authorities on developing this European initiative.
Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and identifying risks and developing effective responses require technical expertise and up-to-date information. One challenge of international cooperation is integrating research findings into policymaking and negotiating cybersecurity agreements.
Access to computing infrastructure, a lack of specialized expertise, security risks, and regulatory requirements are among the challenges faced by organizations seeking to develop or use artificial intelligence solutions.
Access to accurate and reliable information is essential for combating disinformation and protecting democracy. In a digital environment where false information can spread rapidly, technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain can help verify information, identify manipulated content, and ensure data traceability.
Researchers, companies, and public institutions in Romania will be able to use RO AI Factory's infrastructure and services to develop and test artificial intelligence solutions. The opportunities offered by the project were presented by ICI Bucharest at Transilvania Digital Innovation Summit 2026, held on Thursday, 8 October, in Cluj-Napoca.
Companies, startups, and researchers in Romania can already start artificial intelligence projects using European supercomputing resources, without having to wait for RO AI Factory to become operational. Through BSC AI Factory, they can access European infrastructure, while ICI Bucharest can support them throughout the needs assessment, application and onboarding process.
