The doctoral studies will be in a correspondence form (part-time) with two supervisors - the rector of the University of Ruse, academician Hristo Beloev and Hui Bih Nguyen, who is a professor at the Vietnamese Nong Lam.

Dr. Desislava Atanasova.
Academician Beloev said that the University of Ruse has experience in both topics. He emphasized that cooperation between the two universities in the field of agriculture should be expanded. Joint activities such as development of joint projects, participation in scientific conferences, joint publications in refereed journals, exchange of lecturers and students will be undertaken. The two PhD students are a big step in the joint work, added Academician Beloev.
Prof. Huy Bih Nguyen shared that this is his third visit to the University of Ruse, and the reason for his choice of the latter as host university for the two PhD students is that in Vietnam all specialists in the field of agriculture have graduated from University of Ruse.
After discussing the topics, the two Vietnamese PhD candidates were given approval for the start of their studies and received advice from their research supervisors that will help them develop specific and relevant research projects.
