He also recommended that DFG and the Bulgarian National Science Fund established a special Bulgarian-German scientific program in which BAS would participate. He added that information days organized by the Fund could be held as part of the event to familiarize Bulgarian scientists with funding opportunities. Representatives from the international cooperation departments of BAS and DFG will finalize the format of the conference and the information days in the coming weeks. Discussions also focused on cooperation between the Academy and the \u201cAlexander von Humboldt\u201d Foundation as well as the Leopoldina Academy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prof. Neli Koseva presented the Academy\u2019s activities and structure. Special attention was given during the meeting to the achievements of BAS in the fields of chemistry and physics. The director of the Bulgarian National Science Fund, Prof. Yuri Kalvachev, also participated in the discussions.
