"Kozloduy NPP - New Build" and the National High School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Acad. Lyubomir Chakalov launch a strategic partnership in support of young talents

"Kozloduy NPP - New Build" EAD and the National High School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Acad. Lyubomir Chakalov have launched a strategic cooperation aimed at the development of future specialists in the field of nuclear energy. The agreement was signed by the executive director of the company Petyo Ivanov and the director of the high school Ivaylo Ushagelov.

The partnership envisages the implementation of joint educational initiatives for students from 8th to 12th grade, as well as the creation of a scholarship program aimed at outstanding and motivated young people. The program will provide an opportunity for continued support during higher education in engineering and technical specialties prioritized by the company at leading Bulgarian universities.

"The perspective for working in the new nuclear project is for generations to come and is long-term. Traditionally, there is a shortage of students studying nuclear energy and physics, and our goal is to change this," said Petyo Ivanov.

The initiative is part of the long-term strategy of "Kozloduy NPP - New Build" EAD for investments in education and the building of sustainable expert capacity necessary for the development of nuclear energy in Bulgaria.
