The programme of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences to support scientists from Ukraine will continue. This was said by the President of BAS Prof. Julian Revalski, Full Member of the Academy, at a meeting with Ukrainian scientists working in the Academy’s institutes.

A total of 17 Ukrainian scientists from Kharkiv, Kiev, Melitopol and Severodonetsk are continuing their professional development in units of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Five of them are Bessarabian and Taurian Bulgarians. The scientists work in institutes of BAS in the fields of history, biology, economics, art and physics, said Prof. Mikhail Stanchev. He is also a foreign member of the Academy.
