    REINFORCEMENT OF THE RESEARCH CAPACITY OF THE BULGARIAN INSTITUTE “BIOLOGY AND IMMUNOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION”

    •  

        • 2. Strengthening the technological capacity of IBIR-BAS

          Objectives

          The main objective of this work package is to upgrade the technical resources of IBIR-BAS. It needs a considerable investment for the equipment with contemporary research apparatus to improve the scientific work and reach scientific quality of leading European and International Centres. The maintenance of laboratories with modern scientific equipment will attract motivated scientists working in the field of biology and immunology of reproduction. An accurate list consisting of equipment completing the IBIR-BAS’s current excellence has been prepared. An additional improvement of IBIR-BAS’s research capacity will be achieved by a membership in some important online scientific databases providing access to research quotations and publications.
