FISSION
Our student-initiated, student-organized, and student-run international science forum FISSION would not be
possible without the generous sponsorship of various like-minded organizations which come together to support
invention, innovation and imagination in the future scientists.
FISSION offers students of different ages, schools, and countries a meeting ground with peers where they can
exchange knowledge, experience, and ideas in the area of scientific achievements. Participants present their
own scientific work in two categories: experiments and working models, while a competent jury evaluates
and awards the projects.
For the 2019 edition of FISSION, New Bulgarian University contributed 3350 leva, the America for Bulgaria
Foundation gave 2500 leva, Juliany LLC donated 2000 leva, and the Student Activities Fund helped with 1000 leva.

their minds and physique through sport.”
