Summary/Abstract: Over the last half century, a special trend in the development of social sciences and humanities may be observed: they go beyond the boundaries of the disciplines and do not obey the order created with the establishment of modern science. Ethnology starts with the interest in ethnos and ethnies, people and nations, and it researches the socio-anthropological realization of the man through the mechanisms of cultural phenomena and facts. An important characteristic is the researcher’s commitment which arises from his/her understanding of the scholarship’s role in meeting the cultural, social and economic needs and its close partnership with entrepreneurship. Based on the contemporary scholarly achievements and using the experience of the European universities, the education in Ethnology and Social Anthropology at the University of Plovdiv during the period from 1994 to 2010, emphasized on its applied nature and the optimal intertwining between the academic theory and social practice.
