   20th International Balkan Workshop on Applied Physics and Materials Science

   The 20th International Balkan Workshop on Applied Physics and Materials Science aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of Applied Physics and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted.

     The workshop continues a tradition started by BPU in 1999, in Tsigov-Chark, Bulgaria, and continued in 2001 in Edirne, Turkey, and 2002 in Targoviste, Romania. Starting with 2003 the workshop has been held annually in Constanta, Romania with one exception, 2012, when Ovidius University of Constanta hosted the 8th General conference of the Balkan Physical Union.

    The workshop is organized by Ovidius University of Constanta, the Balkan Physical Union, the Romanian Physical Society, Romanian Academy and Academy of Romanian Scientists and is addressed to all scholars interested in applied physics from the Balkan countries and from all over the world. The participation of young scientists and students is greatly encouraged, one of the goals of the workshop being to offer the new generation an opportunity to present original new results and a chance to learn from the experience of distinguished researchers.

    The organizers acknowledge the importance of proper dissemination of scientific knowledge and offer the attendants the possibility to publish their full papers in journals that are indexed in the Thomson-Reuters Web-of-Science database.

We look forward to meeting you in Constanta!

  1. ST. IOAN CASIAN MONASTERY AND CAVE
  • St. Ioan Casian Monastery

The monastery is located in Dobrogea, being recently built on authentic Christian places of the first importance in the history of Romanian Orthodoxy. Casienilor Hill, on which the monastery is located, is the center of some unexplored archeological sites, a set of caves and shelters.

  • Casian Cave

Casian Cave is the place chosen by the famous Byzantine theologian and, at the same time, one of the founders of monasticism to lead an ascetic life.

  • The spring of Saint Casian

As a blessing for the arid land of Dobrogea, a few hundred meters from the monastery, there is a spring. A path cut through the bushes leads tourists to Poiana Crucii, at the spring. The water comes out of a niche, in a noisy jet, it is cold, clear and good.

  • Fish dinner at St. Ioan Casian Monastery
