The Centre for Ecological Mobility (CEM) is a non-profit organization in Bulgaria that promotes sustainable transportation. It brings together government, universities, and businesses to share knowledge on ecological mobility. CEM's goals are to educate the public, especially youth, on green transportation alternatives; support research on innovative solutions; and encourage dialogue between stakeholders. CEM was established in 2015 and plans to open research laboratories to develop new technologies such as electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells with the help of academic partners and grants.

The Centre for Ecological Mobility (CEM) has been registered in Republic of Bulgaria (EU) as
a Non-governmental organisation and non-profit legal entity. It is a public-serving organisation
merging Central Government, Local and Regional Authorities, Civil Organisations, Academic
Societies, Universities and Research Centres, Industry (infrastructure owners, operators,
automotive) which all share and disseminate the ideas of ecological, sustainable and intelligent
transport.
Our goals are:
 To promote and educate the society and especially the young people in the advantages
of the ecological mobility and sustainable green transport systems. Focusing on a modal
shift to a safe means of transportation with minimum environmental impact.
 To assist, discover and support any Research innovative solutions for ecological mobility
which are investigated by Academic Societies, Universities and Business technological
centres, worldwide.
 To support scientist, inventors, technicians, students, local and regional authorities and
industry in developing and implementing any sustainable ecological transport solutions.
 To provide training for any engineering, technical and supporting personnel by
enhancing their knowledge and skills in preserving the environment.
 To encourage dialogue between the civil society, Legislator authorities and the industry
in transport planning, production and utilisation of ecological transport and supporting
infrastructure.
CEM was registered on 17 June 2015 by the Sofia City Court with an issued charter 352/2015
ЕIК 176887890
CEM founders are:
 Svetlozar Georgiev Milev – Executive Director
 Dimitrin Zhechev Vichev – Chairman of the Board of Directors
CEM representative body includes both founders, equally.
Within CEM we have a Scientific Council which members are internationally recognised
Bulgarian scientists and inventors in the field of electrical transport and hydrogen technologies.
Very soon CEM will open a Research Laboratory within the Sofia Tech Park. This will be the
most Innovative Hub in SE Europe blending entrepreneurial activity between Government,
Academics and the Bulgarian Hi-Tech Companies.
Presently permanent members of the Scientific Council are:
 Prof. Dr. Ganch Ganchev – University of Mining and Geology

YOUNG PEOPLE by the OP for Human Resources Development
Brief description of the Project: is to identify, motivate and teach English language for the
5250104 specialists (Technician for electrical transport vehicles). After completion of the course
facilitating in job employment for unemployed young people aged 15-29, throughout the entire
country. All activities will take place in the Research Centers established in Sofia, Plovdiv,
Burgass, Varna, Russe and Vratza.

Research and development activities:
 Hardware – building new and /or improving the technical parameters of existing electrical
vehicles, batteries, eco-engines and supporting infrastructure.
 Software – development of software for optimising the efficiency of ecological transport.
Also simulating the efficiency of the eco-infrastructure and safety of the electrical
vehicles.
 Resources – education and training of specialists and technicians in maintaining eco-
transport. Disseminating the concepts of eco mobility and supporting all students with
long-lasting interest in environmentally friendly transport.
 Supporting the research into innovative eco mobility
Research Programme
Under the auspice of the Scientific Council and Academic institutions in Bulgaria we will collate
all information regarding ecological mobility. We will collaborate closely in modelling, optimising
and realizing any advance technologies by 3D computer simulations and/or practical laboratory
tests in implementing new green technologies for transportation.
These will include, but not limited by:
 Diversify the financing of the projects by enhancing the local donations. Creating an
active donor network to support and fund the research of new know-how and innovative
ideas in the eco mobility. Protecting the intellectual properties of any research know-how
developed within CEM Research Laboratories.
 Encourage young people to stay in regional areas and preserve young talent and skills.
CEM will try to bring together students with older, more experienced researchers and
spark career pursuit in the field of green transport.
 Engaging scientists and researchers from abroad which are ready to contribute in CEM
Research Laboratories for Eco mobility.
 The development of new information-logistic center assisting the business in
implementing electrical transport.
 Supporting and funding training programmes for keeping youth unemployment low by
targeting disadvantaged youths and bringing them in the mainstream labour market.
 Inspiring young researchers and apprentices to overcome the experience trap, whereby
employers require experienced workers and young people are placed at the back of the
queue.
 Preserving the youth talent by giving access of young inventors to the latest advances
in the eco mobility via CEM Research Laboratories.
 Supporting sustainable employment organization in the transport industry.

According to the approved 2015 strategic plan for development CEM intends to fulfill the
following goals:
 Registering the Foundation and disseminating activities promoting CEM’s
objectives by participating in symposiums, exhibitions and 2015 Sofia Auto Shaw.
 The creation of six countrywide Research Laboratories by the end of 2015 in
Sofia, Plovdiv, Burgass, Varna, Russe and Vratza,
 Applying for EU grants and national funding by developing and compiling at least
two projects related to the Foundation objectives.
 Creating and approving the 2016 annual growth plan focusing on:
1. Establishing international relationships by engaging close cooperation with
