About the Evrika Foundation
A classic public-benefit foundation founded in 1990. Independent, non-political, and non-religious — dedicated to Bulgaria's future through science and innovation.
Who we are
A classic foundation — a non-governmental, non-religious and non-political organisation, a legal entity under Bulgarian law, operating for public benefit.
The Evrika Foundation was established in 1990 by state and public organisations with the aim of supporting gifted children and young people in carrying out projects in science, technology and management; backing young innovators and entrepreneurs; spreading scientific, technical and economic knowledge; improving the material base for scientific and technical creativity; and supporting training, specialisation and international cooperation in science and technology.
The Foundation's funding comes from income on its assets, donations, and income tied to its programmes.
Over its 35-year history, the Evrika Foundation has awarded scholarships or supplements to 3,025 students and pupils, helped 2,124 young people participate in international scientific forums and specialise at prestigious research centres and companies, and organised and run 1,378 events — competitions, championships, conferences and schools for children, pupils, students, young scientists and specialists.
In 2025 the Foundation maintained its broad portfolio of activities: grant funding, scholarships, support for young innovators and entrepreneurs, consulting, information services, publishing, support for scientific and technical events, and projects in partnership with other Bulgarian and international organisations.
