The main aim of DRUG-MOLECULE is to enhance the research conducted at Departments of Organic Chemistry and Biotechnology of the University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy (UCTM) in Bulgaria through targeted twinning activities with two internationally-leading research institutions, namely the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) and the Italian National Research Council (CNR).

In particular, the aim will be to stimulate excellence and innovation capacity at UCTM primarily in the field of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Twinning activities will include knowledge transfer and exchange of best practices between AIT/ CNR and UCTM. This project will entail significant benefits for all institutions involved in terms of enhancement of their Research and Innovation (R&I) capacity in science and technology and raising their staff’s research profile.
