Prof. Radoslav Radev, Assoc. Prof. Stoyan Pavlov and the Team of Prof. Vilian Platikanov Were Distinguished with the Varna Awards

The annual Varna Awards - 2020 were presented at an official award ceremony at the Yunashki Salon in Varna. Representatives of MU-Varna became award holders in the categories of Social Sciences and Natural Sciences.

Prof. Dr. Radoslav Radev received an individual Varna Award for his overall contribution to research, education and treatment in the field of health.

"The award I am receiving today is both personal and institutional. There is no way you can separate your personal life from the life and work of the institutions you represent - MU-Varna and UMHAT "St. Marina" - Varna. Every single day we accomplish something new - we are building up ourselves, we are building up the University, we are developing our city and at some point I wish this could make us say to ourselves "Our city is our fortress". Despite the fact that at present the circumstances we are living under are not normal, I am not worried, and I am absolutely certain that this will soon be over, and we will be smiling, full of joy and not wearing face masks any more. Thank you for the award!" said Prof. Radev after receiving the award.

A team award in the category of Natural Sciences was presented to the donation and transplantation team at UMHAT "St. Marina" - Varna, headed by Prof. Dr. Vilian Platikanov for outstanding contribution to the development of donation and transplantation in Bulgaria.

Prof. Platikanov addressed the audience with the words, "Our team of approximately 150 people works and will continue working at different times, with different people, in different ways, incessantly because we know that somewhere someone's life in the future depends on us. Thank you for the award!"

Varna Award was also presented to a research team from MU-Varna and VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar", headed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Stoyan Pavlov and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Galina Momcheva, for the research ecosystem for biomedical image analysis BioMed-Varna.
