Dobril Radoslavov, a PhD student at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (FEBA) of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, supervised by Assoc. Prof. Todor Yalamov, participated in his first course within the programme of the Doctoral School of the European Security and Defence College. The course was organized by the University of Piraeus (Greece) and was held in person from April 21 to 24, 2026, with the participation of PhD students, researchers, and experts from EU Member States.

The Doctoral School programme provides specialized training that complements national doctoral programmes and supports interdisciplinary research in the field of European security and defence. The courses include lectures, seminars, and academic exchange among participants from various institutions, with a focus on methodology and current challenges facing the Common Security and Defence Policy.

Dobril Radoslavov’s participation is the first of its kind – he is the first PhD student from a Bulgarian university to be admitted to the European Security and Defence College's Doctoral School programme. As a result, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” joins the network of training institutions of the College. This creates opportunities for expanding academic cooperation and for more active participation of the Bulgarian academic community in the development of expertise in the field of European security.

Congratulations and best wishes to Dobril Radoslavov for a successful academic journey!
