Research - Универзитет Гоце Делчев

Since the foundation of the University, one of its main activities that is promoted and supported is research, as a unique way for development and innovation. In that sense, excellent conditions and possibilities for the scientific and research work have been created at UGD by opening and equipping the most modern centres and laboratories and the establishment of the university’s scientific fund that offers small grants for research. Moreover, the research activity has been introduced as a key criterium for the promotion of the employed scientific and teaching staff.

Fund for scientific & research work

In order to raise the level of the scientific and research work, to increase research competitiveness of the employees, to increase the number of scientific publications in indexed journals and to raise the level of research capacities, doctorands and number of researchers, the Goce Delcev University has formed a special fund for scientific and research work that uses its own resources to finance the research and the project of its employees. In this way UGD strives to be a modern, European and scientifically profiled university with clear aims of increasing the level of knowledge that it offers and sharing that knowledge with the society and the business sector.

Scientific & research centre

The Goce Delcev University devotes equal attention to the teaching and the scientific processes, led by the idea that an appropriate educational process can be developed only by an application of science into teaching or vice versa. This will further develop the academic knowledge and it will produce professional highly qualified staff, who will be able to respond to the new challenges in the fields they have been educated and they will proceed to build a professional career. The highest academic values are based on the scientific activities, the individual qualities are being developed and it creates intellectuals, who are the future of the society. Because of that, the scientific research at the University are often based on individual projects that are supported by the university’s fund, which also make the scientific and research activity more dynamic, and students are often included in the projects. Moreover, students are motivated through various prizes and recognition certificates, and certain programmes from the second and the third cycle are also supported financially.
