Summary/Abstract: Introduction The orientation of research and innovation towards generating more and better products for improving the quality and living conditions of Bulgarian citizens and for economic growth are fundamental not only in the policies of the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria but also of the Union for Economic Growth in Europe. Over the past few years, the European Union has been the territory of an integrated strategic approach to stimulating research and innovation for the full utilization of the intellectual potential of the Member States. A number of steps have also been taken to provide appropriate communication and public awareness of the benefits of investing in research and innovation. Successful application of the results of science and new technologies to products, processes and services and the generation of competitive advantages depends to a large extent on their public acceptance.
