An applied science conference for students, PhD candidates, and young scientists was held recently at the Taraclia branch of Angel Kanchev University of Ruse. This event marked the first student conference hosted by the branch in Moldova and served as part of the University of Ruse’s 65th science conference celebration. The opening plenary session featured addresses from the branch Director, Assoc.

The agenda also included presentations of three books published with support from the Bulgarian Spirit Foundation, led by its President, Oleg Kosih. Vasileva noted the conference aimed to stimulate student scientific output while assessing the capabilities of their supervising tutors. She highlighted the success of the collaboration, noting that the 23 presented papers demonstrated the strong alignment of the participating teams.
The conference structured its discussions across three key thematic areas. The first focused on Bulgarian cultural-historical heritage, covering topics such as the contributions of Bulgarian historians and archaeologists, and the impact of medieval literature on critical thinking. The second theme explored interdisciplinary research, featuring discussions on folk music as a cultural identifier, Bulgarian folk dance in Moldova, and the pedagogical use of folklore.
The final section addressed contemporary challenges, including the educational process as a social-pedagogic system, developing early communication skills, and integrating AI into academic growth.
