The Deputy Director-General of the Research and Innovation Directorate of the European Commission Signe Ratso visited the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences on September 17, 2019. She met with the President of BAS, Academician Julian Revalski, and the Scientific Secretary-General Prof. Evdokia Pasheva. Possibilities were discussed to stimulate scientific activity by motivating the business to actively participate in the process of realizing prototypes of inventions. Innovation is identified as a key priority not only by BAS but also by the European Commission, and in this area the two institutions will cooperate in the future. International cooperation within the European Union is crucial for the successful implementation of these priorities as well as for the development of science, emphasized Ms. Ratso.

According to the Web of Knowledge, the H-index of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences as of September 13, 2019 is 202. This means that 202 scientific papers of researchers at the Academy have been cited at least 202 times. For comparison, the H-index of Bulgaria is about 260. The H-index has been introduced to evaluate the scientific achievements of individual scientists but has recently been increasingly used to evaluate both the relevance of various fields of science as well as scientific institutions. Although it does not take into account a number of factors such as different average citation of the individual sciences, the H-index provides an overview of the impact of an institution. You can see the lists in Bulgarian and English here.
