Brief information about the center
The Center of Competence in Mechatronics and Clean Technologies - MIRACle (CoC "MIRACle") is created in 2019 under the Operational Program "Science and Education for Smart Growth 2014 - 2020" (OP SESG). Under this program, the center is funded with 17.5 million BGN.
CoC "MIRACle" includes 9 partners, forming 14 research laboratories with modern equipment and highly qualified teams.
The main infrastructure for scientific research and development is located in Sofia (Southwestern region) and in the less developed Southeastern region - Bourgas.
CoC "MIRACle" is shaping up as an internationally recognized research center, a benchmark for quality in the fields of mechatronics and clean technologies.
Under the Program “Research, Innovation, Digitalization for Smart Transformation 2021 - 2027” (PRIDST), the center will be funded with 9.3 million leva.
The aim of the project under PRIDST is the sustainable development of the CoC MIRACle in the following scientific and applied areas: mechatronics, robotics, automation, biomechatronics, intelligent systems, clean technologies, etc.
Specific goals:
1. Realizing significant scientific and applied research by using the established modern infrastructure and by maintaining a highly qualified scientific team.
2. Creation of an effective management structure, participating in the strategic growth of the CoC "MIRACle", and developing a plan to achieve future sustainability.
3. Implementation of an effective network for cooperation between the CoC "MIRACle" and high-tech companies, through the creation of innovative products and services for business and industry, aiming to achieve technology transfer of the R&D results.
