Construction of modern educational infrastructure in the “University of Food Technologies — Plovdiv”

The project proposal is aimed at interventions aimed at building modern educational infrastructure in the “University of Food Technology — Plovdiv”. The sites of intervention are Training Corps Block 1 and Training Corps Block 2 located on the territory of UHT. They are eligible according to the application guidelines under procedure BG16RF001-3.003 “Support of higher education institutions in the Republic of Bulgaria” because they fulfil the requirement to be used for the training of students from priority strands “Food Technologies” and “Biotechnologies” designated for support under OPRG 2014-2020. The training bodies provide for construction and installation activities, implementing the prescribed measures in the energy and technical audits carried out. Their aim is to achieve a complete renovation and modernisation of the two buildings. The activities foreseen for implementation will provide better living conditions, thermal comfort and higher quality of the educational environment. A higher level of energy efficiency in educational buildings will be achieved and energy costs will be reduced. The performance to extend the lifecycle of buildings will be improved. An accessible built environment will be provided in line with the requirements for an accessible population environment, including for people with disabilities. With the completion of the planned activities and the purchase of the planned furniture and equipment, the project will help to renovate the material and technical base and provide modern educational conditions for the educational establishment. The university will increase its competitiveness and attractiveness. There will be an opportunity to organise quality learning activity in accordance with the best traditions of higher education and modern world trends to attract foreign students, graduates and PhD students and to develop new forms of preparation and upskilling of specialists with higher education.
