Romanian International Conference for Education and Research

We are delighted to present the 18th edition of the Romanian International Conference for Education and Research: Artificial Intelligence and Research Assessment. In keeping with our tradition, this on-site event — organized by Enformation — promotes an interdisciplinary approach to educational topics. Therefore, we encourage authors to submit papers that explore both theoretical and practical perspectives. We look forward to welcoming you to a dynamic program of academic presentations, interactive panels, and collaborative workshops.

Join us on 4 & 5 November 2026 at the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, in the UNSTPB Central Library (Corp A, 3rd Floor, Splaiul Independenței, no. 313, Bucharest), and actively contribute to the modernization and advancement of the Romanian education and research ecosystem! We strongly believe in spreading knowledge and we think that it starts with sharing experiences and best practices, as well as fostering debate with audience participation. Moreover, our Conference aims to support the Romanian academic community in gaining access to quality content and achieving the international recognition it truly deserves.

Stay tuned for more #enformation!
