The Center “Mechatronics and Clean Technologies” is a union of national universities and institutes, including 12 institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia University and Technical University — Sofia. Bringing together leading scientists from these units into a Centre of Excellence aimed at maximising the coverage of the thematic area of ISEC “Mechatronics and Clean Technologies” and having a single research programme will contribute to strengthening and intensifying research, technological development and innovation, as well as to the establishment of an institution that will lead this area for the country and the region. In particular, the activity will be focused on the following areas: 1. Virtual Engineering and Digital Manufacturing2. Bio-mechatronics, Micro/nano engineering for mechatronic technologies, elements and systems3. Vibration and Acoustic Mechatronic Technology 4. Transport engineering and reengineering5. Optical mechatronic technology6. Components of Intelligent Mechatronic Device Systems 7. Technologies for clean and safe energy 8. Green technology9. Additive technology, functional coatings and new materials10. Robotic systems and mechatronic technologies11. Modeling.In accordance with the program you will build modern and competitive scientific complexes at the highest level, equipped with unique for the country and concentrated in certain places scientific equipment. These complexes will provide opportunities to conduct high-quality research in accordance with best standards and practices The main activities are to be carried out in close interaction with the Mechatronics and Clean Technologies Competence Centres, as well as with the ICT CoE. Foreign scientific institutions will contribute to the high level of scientific activity as associated partners. For better relations with the business will rely on the associated partners — representatives of the Bulgarian business/industry.
