The General Directorate "Structural Funds and International Educational Programmess" of the Ministry of Education and Science invites the potential applicants to submit project proposals under Priority Axis 1 "Research and Technological Development," Investment Priority 1а. "Enhancing research and innovation infrastructure and capacities to develop research and innovation excellence, and promoting centres of competence, in particular those of European interest", through procedure of selecting project proposals: "CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRES OF EXELLENCE"

The purpose of the procedure is to support the enhancement of the level and the market orientation of the research activities of leading research organisations in Bulgaria and to improve the capacity for generation of research excellence. The latter will be achieved through support provision for creation, development and/or modernisation of centres of excellence, which will help to overcome the shortage of competitive and internationally recognised research complexes meeting advanced infrastructure and top level research standards in areas of interest of the Bulgarian economy, namely the priority areas of the Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisation (ISSS).
The centres will set up the best possible conditions for attracting highly qualified researchers for conduction of top level research at European standards in ISSS priority areas and will significantly enhance the potential for applied research, experimental development and innovation.

The procedure is implemented with the financial support of the European Regional Development Fund.

The activities must be implemented within the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria (within the programme area). Some activities may be implemented outside the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria but within the EU, provided that they are for the benefit of the programme area.

In view of the above, when preparing the budget, applicants are requested to group the amounts allocated to activities located outside the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria in a separate sub-section.
Only expenditure incurred within the EU will be considered eligible under the procedure.
