Driven by the idea of ​​creating a beautiful and sustainable environment, the GATE Institute became the initiator of improving the surrounding space of the Lozenets campus of Sofia University. Supported by the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, the Faculty of Physics, and the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy at SU “St. Kliment Ohridski”, GATE issued a challenge to the future landscape architects from the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy (UACG) to prepare a Concept for the development of the environment of the “Lozenets” University Campus. The idea aligns with the values ​​and activities of the GATE Institute and its “Future Cities” application area, which carries out applied research related to various aspects of the urban environment.

The director of GATE, Prof. Silvia Ilieva, will be among the participants in Green Transition 4.0. – the largest and most important international forum in Central and Eastern Europe dedicated to green transformation. It will be held from 26.06 to 28.06.2024 at SEC (Sofia Event Center, Paradise Mall) and will bring together leading experts, European Commissioners, government representatives, and business leaders to discuss the most current topics related to the transition to a sustainable future. The organizer is Dir.bg.
