REGISTRATION AND ABSTRACT SUBMISSION ARE NOW OPEN!

Dear Colleagues,

A little time will pass, and we will meet at the XXV National Congress of the Bul­garian Anatomical Society with International Participation. This is a good oppor­tunity for professionals in the field as a place where researchers can exchange the latest research results, disseminate information about new technologies, and pursue the challenge of new discoveries and breakthroughs. Today, the role and importance of innovative ideas and discoveries are increasing. And it is equally important to be able to use them in purposes of development of eco­nomics. But we should not forget the experience of our predecessors and their contribution to the development of science.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee and Bulgarian Anatomical Society, it is my pleasure to invite you to the XXV National Congress of the Bulgarian Anatom­ical Society with International Participation in Pleven, Bulgaria, from 28th to 30th May 2021.

I hope that the XXV National Congress would be professionally fruitful and per­sonally enjoyable experience for all who attend, and I look forward to seeing you there.

 

Sincerely,

Stefan Trifonov, MD, PhD Associate Professor

Head of Anatomy, Cytology, Histology and Biology Department

Faculty of Medicine

WORKSHOP

Title: Conversations and practice of applied anatomy to create an art installation

Lead by: Prof Partha Vaiude, Prof Caroline Wilkinson & Mark Roughley

The delegates for this workshop will be organised to create diverse groups that have a significant inter-disciplinary mix. They will be given a variety of sculptural materials and anatomical resources (including cadaveric), training and artistic inspiration to help them create facial subunits. The exercises will harness the knowledge and skills of the delegates to work collaboratively. All levels of students and professionals will have an opportunity to explore, learn and refine their understanding of the face; contributing their individuality in a unique journey culminating in an art instillation.

The object of the workshop is to:

  • Network with a diverse group of people at different stages of their training/career.
  • Learn/refine facial anatomy (traditional, clinical and anthropological).
  • Immerse in forensic anthropological reconstructive techniques.
  • Explore artistic perspectives of the face derived from different non-medical disciplines.
  • Make a lasting contribution to the University of Pleven Anatomy-Art Installation.

It is envisaged that the workshop will work as a stimulus to initiate collaborations and lasting relationships that bridge medical sciences and art.

The workshop can hold 30 delegates.
