Title: Bulgarian Academy of Sciences - Past and Present
Authors: Gabriela Yoncheva, Darina Ilieva, Daniela Atanasova

Abstract: In 2014, according to an old and established tradition, the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences /BAS/ celebrated its next anniversary. Celebration is always about looking back at history, but it also brings us closer to current issues.
The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is one of the symbols of modern Bulgaria. During all the difficult but rich in content stages of its existence, the Academy develops and strengthens by following the democratic and patriotic covenants of its founders, preserving its original character as a spiritual center and temple of Bulgarian enlightenment.
The celebration of the jubilee thematically recreates with documents the most important moments in the history of BLS (Bulgarian Literary Society), its growth into BAS, as well as its further development as a national research center with international recognition.
BAS continues to carry out its research and public activities in accordance with "universal human values, national traditions and interests" and to promote "multiplication of the spiritual and material values of the nation" (Statute of BAS, 1997). Nowadays, when the complex processes of globalization are taking place, BAS authoritatively presents to the world Bulgaria and its science and proves that we have always been and will be an integral part of Europe.
