HRIA will build a national ecosystem that connects research, innovation and the economic environment, with the objective of developing advanced technologies and concrete applications based on Artificial Intelligence.
On March 10, 2026, the Romanian Hub for Artificial Intelligence (HRIA) celebrated its first anniversary by hosting the workshop “HRIA: Results, Collaborations and Perspectives After the First Year of Implementation”, held in the Senate Hall of the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest. The event marked a key moment for assessing the project’s scientific and technological progress, bringing together representatives from academia, the high tech industry, and public institutions.
On May 21, 2026, the Romanian Artificial Intelligence Hub (HRIA) organized the HRIA Workshop “AI Based Robotics and Control” as part of the IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics (AQTR) which took place in Baile Felix, Romania.
On June 19, 2026, the workshop was organized as part of the “Romanian Artificial Intelligence Hub” project, aligned with the research theme concerning artificial intelligence applications in medicine and healthcare.
On July 22, 2025, the Romanian Hub for Artificial Intelligence (HRIA) hosted a strategic online workshop with its partner companies, aimed at strengthening collaboration between academia and the entrepreneurial sector in developing AI-based solutions. The event marked a key milestone in aligning research directions with the real needs of industry, with a strong focus on practical applicability and scalability of AI technologies.
On November 6, 2025, as part of the Romanian Scientific Diaspora 2025 conference, held in Cluj-Napoca, the Romanian Hub for Artificial Intelligence – HRIA organized the workshop “Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Perspectives” – Artificial Intelligence in the National Research Ecosystem: Contributions from the Romanian AI Hub.
At the crossroads of scientific computing and environmental innovation, the Romanian Hub for Artificial Intelligence (HRIA) hosted the thematic workshop WSAI – Remote Sensing, Computer Vision, and AI for a Sustainable Future during the 2025 edition of the international symposium SYNASC – Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing. SYNASC 2025 WSAI – Workshop on Remote Sensing, Computer Vision, and AI for a Sustainable Future – SYNASC 2025
The workshop brought together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to explore how artificial intelligence, smart systems, and advanced computational methods can be applied to remote sensing and computer vision for sustainability-driven solutions.
On July 15, 2025, the Romanian Hub for Artificial Intelligence (HRIA) hosted an online strategic workshop titled “The Potential of Creative AI Resources in Romanian Society: Gradual Implementation of AI Technologies.” The event focused on collaborative planning and analysis of research directions T1–T4 within the HRIA program.
On April 15, 2025, within the framework of the HRIA project, the workshop “Initiation and Organization of RDI Activities” was held at the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest.
During this workshop, the preparation of the project launch event was carried out. Discussions also took place about the research and development activities of the project, as well as about the various technical and administrative aspects of the project, but also about the dissemination plan.
On September 19, 2025, the Romanian Hub for Artificial Intelligence (HRIA) hosted a strategic workshop titled “The Future Is Built Today: AI for Health, Cities, Environment, and Security”, spotlighting one of the most urgent and promising directions in technological development—applying artificial intelligence to domains critical for societal progress.
The event brought together researchers, university professors, and academic experts in a collaborative setting focused on advancing research directions T5–T8 within the HRIA program.
On October 16, 2025, within the International Conference ICCP 2025 – International Conference on Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing, held in Cluj-Napoca, the thematic workshops “Trusted Artificial Intelligence” and “Intelligent and Autonomous Systems” took place. The workshops were organized entirely by the Romanian Hub for Artificial Intelligence – HRIA.
