In 2016, the Applied Research and Communications Fund (ARC Fund) marked its 25th anniversary, continuously working to promote and shape the information society and the knowledge economy in national and international contexts. Throughout these years, ARC Fund reconfirmed its position as a pioneer and forerunner in the areas of applied research and analysis, foresight and public engagement, innovation and business support, innovative policy-making, and capacity building. It strived to respond to some of the most challenging issues the Bulgarian and European societies face – environmental concerns and promotion of green innovation; enhancement of responsible research and innovation; countering online hate speech and development of early media and digital literacy.
