aPECS BULGARIA
APECS International now has a National Committee in Bulgaria supported by the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute (BAI). Although Bulgaria is far from the Polar Regions, the country has many years of history in the Antarctic research.
Since 1993 Bulgaria held 23 scientific Antarctic campaigns and maintains the Bulgarian Antarctic Base “St. Kliment Ohridski” on Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands. The main research topics of Bulgarian scientists cover: Earth sciences - such as geology, geophysics, physics, glaciology, meteorology, cartography; Life sciences - zoology, botanics, ecology and human medicine. The emphasis is put on applying interdisciplinary approach towards understanding the pattern and processes in major polar nature systems and their evolution.
Over these 20 years BAI held many cultural events such as book premieres, artistic and photographic exhibitions, TV films and philately postage stamps related with Antarctic. Bulgarian Antarctic Institute also started an educational and outreach program willing to spread its knowledge and polar experiences in Bulgarian schools and Universities around the country.
APECS Bulgaria continues and expands the great research, educational and cultural activities of BAI. The Bulgarian National Committee of APECS is looking forward to an empowering relationship with the global network.
