Президентът на Република България Росен Плевнелиев посети 2 от институтите на БАН – Института по органична химия с Център по фитохимия и Института по металознание, технологии и съоръжения с Център по хидроаеродинамика.

“БАН е на прав път, но има нужда от фокус, целенасочена подкрепа и от правилни механизми, които да подкрепят възможностите на Академията”, заяви президентът Росен Плевнелиев днес след посещение в два от институтите на Българската академия на науките – Института по органична химия с Център по фитохимия и Института по металознание, технологии и съоръжения с Център по хидроаеродинамика. Според държавния глава, БАН е институция, чиито потенциал трябва да бъде използван пълноценно, „защото има какво да покаже и какво да направи за държавата”.

On April 9, 2015, in the Institute was held a meeting with the deputy mayor of Sofia Municipality, Mr. Todor Chobanov, responsible for culture, education, sports and prevention of addictions.
Possibilities for joint preparation of projects – national and funded by the European Commission, were discussed. It was discussed some opportunities the Institute of Metal science and Sofia Municipality to establish a fruitful collaboration in project areas concerning urban design, urbanization activities (urban development), rubbish utilization.
At the end of the meeting, it was agreed to maintain regular contacts and to develop further communication in order to take action in common areas of interest.

On April 8, 2015, Prof. Dr. Savko Malinov from Queen’s University, Belfast, visited IMSETHC-BAS, by invitation of the Director Ludmil Drenchev.  Prof. Dr. Savko Malinov was awarded the honorable title of the Institute “Guest-Professor”. He has scientific achievements in the field of metal science and well-known contribution to development of titanium alloys, their appliance and characterization. Prof. Malinov presented the structure, research activity and scientific achievements of the Queen’s University.
The presentation and discussion took place in the Main Hall of the Institute and lasted almost two hours. Prof. Malinov gave information about his professional biography and acquainted the audience with the structure of the University. He noted the research themes and activities and R&D funding sources. He commented the themes which are of mutual interest for the Queen’s University and the Institute. Prof. Malinov paid special attention to the long-lasting collaboration between scientists from both organizations and the projects funded by British sources.

Here are Presentation1 and Presentation2

During discussion were discussed the possible funding opportunities for joint scientific projects. There were established common areas of interests and possibilities for preparation of project proposals in the field of aluminum-based composites with nanosized reinforcement and development of hybrid metal foams.

On 12th November, 2014, the Scientific Council of Institute of Metal Science, equipment, and technologies “Acad. A. Balevski” with Hydroaerodynamics Center (IMSETHC-BAS) took decision to award Prof. Jerzy J. Sobczak a title „Honorable Research Fellow”. The honorable title is meritorious for his accomplishments in the field of Metal science and mainly in composite metals and for his active role to evolve the scientific contacts between IMSETHC–BAS and Foundry Research Institute, Krakow, Poland.

On 12th December, 2014, The Scientific Council of Institute of Metal Science, Equipment and Technologies “Acad.A.Balevski” with Hydroaerodynamic Center (IMSETHC-BAS) award the title “Guest-Professor” to Prof. Dr. Savko Malinov. He works more than 15 years in Queen’s University, Belfast and has obtained significant results in various fields of metal science. Prof. Malinov’s contribution to the knowledge of titanium alloys and their appliance is world-wide known. For more than 10 years, colleagues from IMSETHC-BAS collaborate with Prof. Malinov in the frames of different projects, funded by British grants. Four persons from IMSETHC specialized in the faculties of Queen’s University where Prof. Malinov has worked. Currently, he actively cooperates pro bono in IMSETHC-BAS in the field of elaboration of metal matrix composite coatings and synthesis and use of TiH.

On 3rd December, 2014, The Scientific Council of Institute of Metal Science, equipment, and technologies “Acad. A. Balevski” with Center for Hydro- and Aerodynamics – BAS (IMSETHC-BAS) award the title “Guest-Professor” to Prof. Tony Spasov, DSc. He is an eminent Bulgarian scientist, chemist, Corresponding Member of BAS with important achievements in various branches of inorganic chemistry. Prof. Spasov is presently a dean of the Chemical-Pharmaceutical Faculty at Sofia University. A few months ago he took an engagement concerning development of new amorphous and nano-structured metal materials in IMSETHC-BAS. His active cooperation pro bono is important contribution to the successful progress of this previously existing focus of interest in the Institute.
