The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is to have a female president for the first time. Corresponding Member Evelina Slavcheva from the Institute of Electrochemistry and Energy Systems was elected today to lead the 155-year-old institution.
Eighty-one members of the General Assembly of BAS showed their confidence in the newly elected president, while nineteen voted for Acad. Hristo Naidenski from the Institute of Microbiology.
In her statement, Evelina Slavcheva pointed out that by working together the successful path of BAS would continue and that she would make efforts for this to happen. “There is a number of priorities but what I would like to achieve is even greater integrity of the Academy and all its institutes, so that we can truly be one community, one big team with all its diversity in the service of knowledge and the Bulgarian state and society,” she said.
Corresponding Member Evelina Slavcheva works in the field of electrochemical science, corrosion and corrosion protection, electrochemical sensing and electrochemical functional stimulation. She is the author of 127 scientific publications and one patent.
