IMS
The Mission of the Institute of Metal Science, equipment, and technologies “Acad. A. Balevski” with Center for Hydro- and Aerodynamics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences – (IMSETHC-BAS) is to contribute the progress of research and education in the country by conducting basic and applied research and training in: metal science, heat treatment, casting, crystallization, structure and properties of metals, alloys and composites and nano-materials, plasticity modeling, destruction of materials, functionality and reliability of construction, ship hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, water transport, ocean and coastal engineering, marine and river disasters and crises, national security and defense. The Institute’s activities are placed in community service, accelerating development in areas of socio-economic life where the efforts of scientists from IMSETHC-BAS are focused.
