"As a Managing body of the University, we encourage the efforts of people who want to participate in this educational, academic and scientific exchange because such programmes can change your life and career. Science develops on the basis of collaboration between the research teams with the participation of world scientists and in this regard a visit to an American university under the Fulbright Programme is an opportunity for development. I would like to wish everyone the courage to follow this path. It is valuable not only for them and for the university but also for the economy of Bulgaria", pointed out the Rector.
