The Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Technology (INSAIT) is based in Sofia, Bulgaria and is the first of its kind in Eastern Europe. With a focus on world-class research and facilities, INSAIT's goal is to drive change through excellence in science, research, and education. They provide a dynamic and stimulating environment that nurtures creativity, curiosity, and free thought. The aim is to cultivate future leaders and innovators who will create groundbreaking technologies that shape the world and capture the imagination. The Bulgarian government established INSAIT with the aim of establishing a world-leading institution for AI and computer science research and education. The institute operates with principles similar to renowned universities such as ETH, MIT, Stanford, Technon, EPFL, and others.

This research fellowship program 2023 is open to undergraduate students worldwide. It is a summer program for international students that is fully funded. Students must finish the project plan that they developed with their mentor during this program. The project plan should be completed by the start of this summer program. The student will write a final report summarizing their work, which will be formatted as a conference paper. Students will give a final presentation as part of the INSAIT seminar series. These fully funded summer fellowships are an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to become a part of the international community, meet like-minded people, gain experience, and build awareness to research methodologies. This program lasts 8-10 weeks, depending on the summer project chosen by the student and their mentor. We do not allow summer projects to be completed remotely in order to benefit students from the program. Students should be present at the institute for a minimum of 8 weeks and a maximum of 10 weeks during the summer.
