  letter of invitation from the UNICA President and the Rector of Sofia University Seminar Reader (with programme) Practical information
Now more than ever, universities are working hard to grow new income streams in order to maintain their education & research standards. While the costs of maintaining higher education mount, public funding, often representing a vital share of the universities' resources, is decreased or stays unvarying. Universities need to demonstrate efficient financial management and the ability to diversify their sources of funding. At the same time, the issues of university autonomy and the social impact of the changing financial situation require special attention.
 
The UNICA Rectors Seminar 2013 brought together representatives of UNICA universities' academic leadership and gave the opportunity to share knowledge and discuss views on the complex processes and interactions between the universities and their economic and social environment.
The Seminar was hosted by Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski in the framework of the University's 125th Founding Anniversary Celebrations
