Strengthening Slovak–Romanian Cooperation and the Development of Scientific Partnership
Romania’s National Day is a significant historical milestone commemorating the Great Union of 1918, when Transylvania, Bessarabia, and Bukovina united with the Kingdom of Romania. This moment laid the foundations of the modern Romanian state and remains a powerful symbol of national identity and unity to this day.
On this occasion, a ceremonial reception was held, bringing together representatives of diplomacy, public institutions, and the scientific community. The event was also attended by Lucia Malíčková, Representative of the National Supercomputing Centre. During the reception, she met with the President of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Mgr. Martin Venhart, DrSc., as well as with His Excellency, the Ambassador of Romania, Calin Fabian.
The meeting with Martin Venhart marked an important step toward strengthening cooperation between the National Supercomputing Centre and the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Both institutions expressed interest in closer collaboration, particularly in the areas of promoting science and technology, supporting research, and preparing joint innovative projects. This cooperation holds significant potential to contribute to the development of the Slovak research and innovation ecosystem and to the integration of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and academic research.
The event also reaffirmed the importance of international cooperation and the shared ambition to further deepen Slovak–Romanian relations, particularly in the strategically important fields of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence.
The reception thus became not only a celebration of Romania’s national heritage, but also an important platform for professional dialogue, networking, and the creation of future partnerships with the potential to deliver concrete benefits for science, innovation, and technological development in both countries.
