The role of scholars of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in the implementation of the convention for the safeguarding of the intangible cultural heritage (2003 convention) in Bulgaria

The scholars of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences who are experts in the area of the intangible cultural heritage have an important role to play in laying down the parameters and ensuring the implementation of the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003 Convention). Their expertise has been conducive to the first steps made by Bulgaria in that area, as well as to any subsequent action undertaken in that respect in both a national and an international context.
