Prof. Goev emphasized on the importance of the Scientific Session and pointed out that the university scientists have all the reasons of being contented with their achievements. The Vice Rector specified in details also the issues related to the reduced target subsidy for university scientific researches which had been three times lower than the allocated in 2009 over 1 200 000 BGN. An orientation mostly to the international projects and European programmes was pointed out as an alternative for a successful implementation of the research objectives by Prof. Goev.
Success for the UNWE is the implementation of 6 projects on the European Union Framework Programmes. Priority fields for the university scientific research activity approved by the Academic Council for a second consecutive year are the studies on validation of leadership positions of our university among the business universities in Europe, as well as the economic, political and social researches supporting the state and business in Bulgaria.
