Project "The Cross-border Regions Cooperate for Blue Growth-BLUE GROWTH COLLABs"
The project is funded under the Interreg Programme – IPA for Cross-border
Co-operation Bulgaria – Turkey 2014 – 2020
Partners: University “Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov ”- Burgas and Thracian University – Edirne
Budget: 2 855 246 Euro
The project envisages the establishment of the Research Centers in Burgas and Edirne, within which the following will be equipped and function: Laboratory for analysis of water pollution with plastic, Laboratory for analysis and modelling of aquatic ecosystems, Laboratory of aquaculture and biotechnology.
The centers will play the role of scientific infrastructure for collaboration of scientists, researchers, local and regional institutions in the development of common approaches, methodologies, models and initiatives for sustainable use and management of the natural resources. The research activities of the centers are combined with their educational function in terms of involving students in research tasks and projects, conducting information campaigns and working with local communities to form environmentally responsible behavior.
