Within the International Year of Quantum (2025), RoNaQCI is organizing the RoNaQCI Festival on 18-20 June 2025. The Festival will include invitees from national and European high-impact political structures, research presentations, and updates on the Romanian QKD infrastructure. During the event, several award galas will be held: awards of the official quantum certification organized by RoNaQCI; awards for the Quantum Hackaton for students organized in the week prior; and honorary awards for the graduates of the Quantum Computing MSc program at POLITEHNICA Bucharest (2023-2025), the 1st quantum MSc program in Romania. The book on Basic Quantum Knowledge will be freely distributed to the participants. Additionally, the Festival celebrates two important events: the 10 years anniversary of the Quantum Team at POLITEHNICA Bucharest, and the 50 years anniversary of the first microprocessor computer built in Romania by our mentor, Prof. Acad. Nicolae Țăpuș.
