Thank you for choosing to stay in Bulgaria. This was said by Bulgaria's Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov at the ceremony officially announcing the new class of fellows under the EXPLORER program of the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology (INSAIT) at Sofia University.

For the second year under the EXPLORER program, students from the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Technologies of Sofia University will receive 2 thousand leva per month to remain in Bulgaria and concentrate on research projects at INSAIT.

Zhelyazkov thanked the students for bringing glory to the country with their talent, through the INSAIT institute and the development of modern technologies. 

In the Granite Hall of the Council of Ministers, the Prime Minister emphasized that the development of high technologies, artificial intelligence and robotics is viewed with mixed feelings by people who are not dedicated to this field. In his words, there are fears, but also many hopes. “You are the ones who can dispel fears and inspire hope for the future, thanks to new technologies,” Zhelyazkov said, quoted by BTA.
