Widening newsletter 30: ‘Hidden gem’ Bulgaria can be regional leader, says innovation minister

This week in Brussels is the European Commission’s annual research and innovation event, and among the many panels is one dedicated to uncovering excellence in Bulgaria and Romania. These two countries are in our scope in today’s newsletter. We speak to Bulgaria’s innovation minister about the country’s untapped potential, while in Romania a legal loophole is allowing university rectors to remain in post beyond the two four-year terms set out in the higher education law. Elsewhere, we speak to academics in the western Balkans about why they should have a bigger voice in European research policy.
