In May 2020, the infrastructure project LOFAR-
BG, coordinated by the Institute of Astronomy and
National Astronomical Observatory (IANAO), was
approved for inclusion in the updated National Roadmap
for Scientific Infrastructure 2020-2027 (NRSI), created
and supported by Bulgaria’s Ministry of Education and
Science. Currently, members of the national consortium
for managing the project also include the Dept. of
Astronomy of Sofia University, the Dept. of Astronomy
of Shumen University, as well as the Dept. of Radio
Communication and Video Technologies of the Technical
University-Sofia. In the future, we will be adding new
partners to the consortium
