History
The Aero – space technology transfer office for crisis management and disaster resilience was formed in November 2007 with the finalizing of the project “Creating TTO in Bulgarian Universities and in the native scientific organizations” (PHARE program). The Office was created as a part of the Bulgarian academy of science.
During the year 2012, the common efforts of the Space research and technology institute and the Center for National security and defense research, both part of the Bulgarian academy of science, were aiming to develop a strong connection between science and business and institutions which developed the idea of starting a new project. The project is part of the European fund of Regional Development, operational program Competitiveness. Its main goal is to develop the necessary skills in the young Bulgarian scientists of the scientific and academic institutions, in the field of aero-space technologies, disaster management and analysis.
As a result of the project, its main aims are to develop an effective implementation of the aero-space technologies in the market, as well as generating benefits for the scientific organizations, society, business and institutions. Based on the concept of a comprehensive approach our Office aims to promote, facilitate and apply knowledge and technologies through network of Technology transfer offices.
Center for National Security and Defense Research (CNSDR)
The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS) is the most prominent national institution in security and defense-related research and technology development. The Centre for National Security and Defense Research (CNSDR) was established in 2002 to facilitate security and defense research within the Academy. The Centre’s first line of activities are information collection and dissemination to the Academy’s institutes and research teams on end-user needs, NATO and EU programs, and opportunities for bilateral and multilateral cooperation. The Centre maintains a database of available research capabilities and technologies, and informs potential end-users and facilitates contacts and cooperation between researchers and end-users.
Space Research and Technology Institute (SRTI)
For more than a 40 years history SRTI has a significant achievements in the Space research area - created and orbiting more than 150 scientific instruments and devices and conducted dozens of experiments in space through the Intercosmos program and other national and international programs. SRTI - BAS is very heavily involved in the implementation of aero-space technology with private companies, as well as ministries, municipalities and institutions of the state. The Institute is a member of the European association of technology incubators and small businesses ESINET and this line brings together more than 20 companies from Bulgaria to support their participation in European pr ograms.
As a result of the project, its main aims are to develop an effective implementation of the aero-space technologies in the market, as well as generating benefits for the scientific organizations, society, business and institutions. Based on the concept of a comprehensive approach our Office aims to promote, facilitate and apply knowledge and technologies through network of Technology transfer offices.
