Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Science
The Institute of Mathematics and Informatics (IMI) at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS) was created shortly after the end of WWII by the effort and high professionalism of a generation of Bulgarian mathematicians whom we now thankfully style the pivots of Bulgarian mathematics.

It is BAS's only institute in the area of mathematics and one of the country's leaders in the domains of informatics and computer science. The Institute's mission is the development of mathematics and informatics through research and the application of mathematics and informatics in the national education programmes and processes at all levels.
The IMI’s research staff are divided into 10 separate departments and one temporary research team. Work is carried out on 75 themes, grouped into:
- 16 projects funded by BAS's budget;
- 19 projects sponsored by the National Research Fund;
- 40 projects within international programmes.
The Institute operates 16 permanent research seminars. Four scientific and methodological journals are published by the IMI or with its cooperation.
A rich library is maintained, one among the best for mathematical sciences in Southeast Europe according to the opinion of the Institute’s many foreign visitors.
Thanks to the high professionalism of its staff, the IMI is integrated into the global scientific community and enjoys well-deserved repute. Each year the Institute welcomes over 200 renowned foreign scholars, organises more than 15 scientific conferences, seminars and schools.
