The National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics ICI Bucharest is pleased to announce the collaboration with Calea Europeană, reaffirming its commitment to innovation and cutting-edge research. Through this strategic partnership, Calea Europeană represented by the publication director, Dan Cărbunaru, and the editor-in-chief, Robert Lupițu, joins the project initially initiated by ICI Bucharest in collaboration with Agerpres and Romfilatelia.
The research and technological development project proposed by these four institutions have as its central objective the exploration of ways in which distributed blockchain technologies and crypto assets (NFTs) can become essential tools for the distribution of news and information in the era of new technologies. This initiative focuses on facilitating universal access to information, with a central focus on the younger generation and those immersed in the digital space.
Adrian-Victor Vevera, the General Director of ICI Bucharest, enthusiastically states: "The conclusion of this collaboration protocol with Calea Europeană represents a special moment for ICI Bucharest, consolidating our commitment in the field of research and technological development. We are delighted to partner with the Calea Europeană, Agerpres, and Romfilatelia, exploring together how blockchain technologies and crypto assets (NFTs) can redefine the distribution of news and information in modern society."
"The vision assumed by Calea Europeană for promoting European and transatlantic values integrates, through the strategic partnership with ICI, the opportunity to develop communication capacity for the audience anchored in these values, both at the national and European levels. New technologies will increasingly become part of the public sphere, and the need for their integration becomes more evident." (Dan Cărbunaru, Director of Calea Europeană)
