Grants of 105,000 euros for the modernization of teaching and the integration of emerging technologies in Romanian universities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

21 university professors from Romania were awarded grants totaling 105,000 euros, within the ninth edition of the ANIS Scholarships program, organized by the Employers’ Association of the Software and Services Industry (ANIS). The winning projects propose new teaching approaches and the integration of emerging technologies in university education, from IT specializations to disciplines in various fields. The awards were awarded at the Gala held at the Polytechnic University of Timisoara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s edition highlights the diversity of areas where technology is integrated into university education, from artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and quantum computing to applications in disciplines outside IT. Many of the award-winning projects focus on hands-on learning, through simulations, experiments and scenarios inspired by the professional environment, which allow students to apply the knowledge they have acquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most scholarships were awarded in the AI for All, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning and Tech for All categories, with four winning projects each. The AI for All category, introduced for the first time in 2026, reflects the interest in integrating artificial intelligence into the training of students in non-IT specializations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 21 winners come from 11 universities in six cities of the country: Timisoara and Iasi (six each), Bucharest (five), Cluj-Napoca (two), Galati and Bra\u0219ov (one each).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A scholarship reaches a teacher. Its impact can reach generations of students. This is the strength of the ANIS Scholarships program. We support initiatives that change the way we teach and learn, bringing emerging technologies into more and more specializations. A course redesigned today can influence the training of hundreds of students in the years to come. Investing in the teachers who make this change possible is a long-term investment, in the skills of future professionals and in Romania’s ability to capitalize on the opportunities of the digital economy”, said Corina Vasile, Executive Director of ANIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in its ninth edition, the ANIS Scholarships program has so far supported 128 teaching projects, through grants worth a cumulative amount of 640,000 euros. In the first eight editions, the 107 funded projects came from 51 faculties and 21 university centers in Romania. In addition to the grants awarded, the winners of the 2026 edition also benefit from annual medical subscriptions offered by Regina Maria, the program’s medical partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
