Background: The Prof. John Atanasov Foundation is non-profit legal entity founded in 1995 in Sofia, Bulgaria to work for achieving the following goals:
• strengthening the reputation and position of Bulgarian IT experts as well as the professional realization of people in a new and dynamic work environment
• stimulating civil society activities in the context of Bulgaria’s membership in the European Union through economic and behavioral models
• promoting dialogue and cooperation of civil society with state and local authorities as well as economic entities in solving issues of public importance such as education, local governance and democracy
Areas of expertise: information and communication technologies; overall project coordination, management and administration; conducting trainings and seminars, information and publicity activities.
Transnational cooperation: The Foundation was established with the aim of providing opportunities for cooperation on a vast territory throughout Bulgaria and abroad. In response to the increasing penetration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in our everyday life and the pursuit of the ambitious goals set by the Bulgarian government in the area of information society, the Foundation established a reliable platform for territorial cooperation not only within the Republic of Bulgaria but also abroad. This conception is bolstered by the very nature of ICTs – they transcend national borders and contribute to globalization. The projects carried out by the Foundation in Bulgaria and Ireland are good examples of territorial cooperation in the area of information and communication technologies and emphasize their increasing importance.
