The "Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Forschung" has published a book on "Innovation and Research in Bulgaria on the Eve of EU Accession: Lessons from a Peer Country - AUSTRIA" based on the idea of the Austrian Science and Research Liaison Office Sofia in cooperation with ARC Fund:

About the book:

This report on Bulgaria’s research strategies and its participation in the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme is a valuable supplement to the GFF’s comprehensive study that was published in book form this year under the title "Research and Development in South East Europe".

The first part of this new study gives an overview of current national
strategies and the current research funding landscape (funds, programme formulation, grants) in Bulgaria. The strategies drawn up at national and regional level and the specific measures are compiled in charts mapping the most significant institutions andorganisations.
The second part of this report describes Bulgaria’s participation as an equal partner in the EU’s Sixth Framework Programme.
Deficits are identified and suggestions made for correcting them.
