In brief

What Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is

Full article ↗

The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (abbreviated BAS; Bulgarian: Българска академия на науките, romanized: Bŭlgarska akademiya na naukite, abbreviated БАН) is the National Academy of Bulgaria, established in 1869.
The Academy, with headquarters in Sofia, is autonomous and consists of a Society of Academicians, Correspondent Members and Foreign Members. It publishes and circulates different scientific works, encyclopaedias, dictionaries and journals, and runs its own publishing house.

The activities are distributed in three main branches: Natural, mathematical and engineering sciences; Biological, medical and agrarian sciences and Social sciences, humanities and art. As of 2025, they are structured in 43 autonomous scientific institutes and 9 specialized units. The Academy employs approximately 3,000 scientists, representing about 15% of all academic staff in Bulgaria, and produces roughly half of the country's scientific output.

Corresponding Member Evelina Slavcheva has served as President of the BAS since 9 December 2024, becoming the first woman to hold the position in the Academy's history. She was elected by the General Assembly on 2 December 2024, receiving 81 supporting votes out of 107 members voting, for the term 2024–2028. As of 2022, its budget was 119.860 million leva (€61.28 million).

In context

How Bulgarian Academy of Sciences compares

Counts over companies and vessels actually held in this directory — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

With 1 vessels attributed to it here, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is the 492nd largest of the 965 operators in this directory that hold at least one ship on record, against a median of 2 across that group. That is a count of individually identified hulls, not the company’s published fleet size — the two are different measurements and both are shown above where available.

Bulgaria is the country of registration for 3 commercial operators in this directory, among which Bulgarian Academy of Sciences ranks 3rd by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 7 vessels here. See every operator registered in Bulgaria.

Founded in 1869, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is 157 years old. This directory holds 45 operators founded within five years either side of that date, whose median fleet on record is 1 ships. The median founding year across all commercial operators here is 1966, and the oldest on record dates to 1514.
