Big Data
for Smart Society

On 12 February 2026, the GATE Institute organized the first training in Bulgaria dedicated to the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. The event was held in partnership with the Council of Women in Business in Bulgaria and brought together managers, entrepreneurs, legal professionals, and innovation and technology experts. The discussion was moderated by Dr. Irena Georgieva from the Legal Group of the Council of Women in Business in Bulgaria. This dialogical format enabled participants to examine specific cases and practical scenarios from their own work related to the regulation.

GATE Institute hosted a national expert workshop under its Intelligent Government research domain, bringing together over 20 representatives from the public sector.

The scholarship is part of an international initiative by Google DeepMind AI aimed at supporting highly motivated students in the fields of artificial intelligence and computer science. Through its partnership with Google DeepMind AI, the GATE Institute continues to strengthen its role as a leading center for education and research in big data and artificial intelligence, as well as an active member of the European and global academic community. Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski,” through the GATE Institute, is one of only four organizations in Europe authorized to award the Google DeepMind AI Scholarship to master’s students, alongside École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay (France), the University of Warsaw (Poland), and the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (Romania).
