BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION General Background of the Project (Combined environmental-industrial)
Recorded during recent strong earthquakes in the world (USA, Japan, China, Turkey, Iran, Italy, etc.) were severe damages and total collapse of very important bridge structures, both, in the metropolitan areas and along primary important local or regional transportation networks. Some typical bridge failure examples are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig.2.
a) Loma Prieta, U.S.A., 1989: M=7.1, Cypress Bridge Failure
b) Tangshan, China, 1976: Super-Structure Collapse
c) Tangshan, China, 1976: Sub-Structure Collapse
Fig. 4.1. Typical examples of observed severe damages and total collapses of existing bridges in some recent world earthquakes
Generally, it can be noticed that even heavily reinforced bridge piers constructed with large cross-sections have experienced total failure.

f) Kobe, Japan, M=7.2, 1995: (Nishinomiya Harbur Bridge)
Fig. 4.2. Typical examples of observed severe damages and total collapses of existing bridges in some recent world earthquakes
Bridge structures in any region actually represent a well known specific sort of "key" structures, because their collapse gives rise not only to primary losses but also breakage in the functioning of the entire transportation networks, producing heavy secondary losses and disturbances in many other vital activities. The observed severe not acceptable earthquake destruction of the existing bridges clearly points out that commonly applied classical bridge systems are not able to provide the required bridge safety level. Or, in other words, the observed high seismic vulnerability of classical bridge systems expresses an evident, urgent need for development of a qualitatively improved bridge construction technology in seismic areas in order to
increase the seismic safety level of new and possibly increase the earthquake safety of a huge number of existing bridges of confirmed insufficient seismic safety level.
Basically, the high seismic vulnerability of classical bridge systems results from the following two principal reasons: (i) Improper bridge design for seismic loads, and
(ii) The induced actual seismic forces affecting the structure can be several times higher than those specified in the seismic design codes. The first problem related to improper design (i) can basically be solved by a common improvement of the expertise of designers. However, to protect bridge structures against strong earthquakes (ii), it is much more efficient to reduce inertial forces by incorporating qualitatively improved bridge structural systems including seismic isolation. The applied seismic isolation systems for bridges should generally provide: a) b) c) Reduction of the induced actual seismic forces; Reduction of vibration intensity by increased energy dissipation, and generally; Generation of controlled seismic response of the structure assuring consequently the required seismic safety.
The importance of the second strategy - development of bridge seismic isolation systems, is widely recognized. This resulted in intensive, world-wide research interest in this field and wide application of the developed seismic isolation systems in practice in recent years. The promotion of new developments in this relatively new research area is particularly based on organized separate workshops and conferences related to such specific topics. The number of papers in this field presented at international conferences is permanently increasing, which is evident from the published extensive number of conference proceedings. The leading countries in this area are dominantly those which are exposed to very high seismic risk potential (USA, Japan, New Zealand, Italy, etc.). Considering structural seismic isolation, one should mention Macedonia and its capital Skopje, in which the first baseisolated building in the world was constructed using rubber base isolators. Significant efforts have been made by many authors up-to-date to promote the practical application of bridge base-isolation systems (Buckle et al., 1990; McKay, et. al., 1990; Billings, et al., 1987; Kawashima, et al. 1976, 1994; Nuti, et al., 1994; Parduci, et. al., 1992; Camomilla, et al., 1990; Giannini, et al., 1992; etc.). For seismic safety improvement of bridge structures, proposed are up-to-date various energy dissipating devices and different types of bridge bearings (Ciampi, et al., 1991; Marioni, 1994, Robinson, et al., 1982, and many others). Innovative structural systems and specific isolation devices are also proposed for seismic vibration control of buildings (Mezzi, et al., 1994, Skinner, et al., 1993, etc.), and for many other structural systems. In fact, this specific earthquake engineering subject is nowadays becoming increasingly popular for practical application, and a significant number of structures are already constructed in the most seismically active regions in Japan, USA, Italy, New Zealand, etc.
10
However, the behavior of bridge structures with implemented antiseismic systems can be best validated by a real earthquake. Such unique possibility to verify the behaviour of structures incorporating antiseismic devices is recorded in the case of new bridges/viaducts constructed in Turkey (example Fig. 4.3.).
Fig. 4.3. Modern viaduct in Turkey (a) consisting of 100 spans of 39,2 m, designed utilising singleyeilding ED devices (b) was seriously damaged just after construction (shown view before).
All bridges are made of simply supported, prefabricated pretensioned box beams of 36 metre length. There are 7 beams for each span. The spans are connected up to a maximum of 10 through the concrete slab that is cast in situ over the prefabricated beams. In this way the bridge act as simply supported spans for the traffic load and as continuous up to 10 spans for slow effects (temperature, creep and shrinkage) and earthquake. All the beams are simply supported by free sliding bearings with PTFE and stainless steel sliding surfaces designed in order to accommodate all movements due to slow effects and earthquake. The horizontal loads due to wind, braking, differential friction of the sliding bearings and earthquake are transferred to the piers through the antiseismic devices. Just after construction, two earthquakes occurred on 17 August and 12 November 1999, ranking Richters scale grades 7,6 and 7,4 respectively and causing over 50000 fatalities. The earthquakes had their epicentres near the Anatolian Motorway between Dzce and Bolu. In this Motorway Section, two major viaducts incorporating base isolators and energy dissipators were strongly hit by both earthquakes. During the 12 November earthquake modern viaduct structures were seriously damaged and reached the critical stage near total collapse (Fig. 4.4.).

This unique example shows that the present concept of seismic protection of bridges incorporating base isolators and energy dissipators should be critically evaluated, qualitatively upgraded and technically optimized. Earthquakes are a major natural hazard for a large part of the European Union territory. The Mediterranean countries in particular have suffered, in the past, from very serious seismic disasters, Fig. 4.5. Sesmic disasters have been proved the deadliest of all the European disasters over the past decade, and cost the continent 27billion in damage alone. Some of the European Union Member States, accessing and candidate countries have a concrete policy against earthquakes and a well-organized network of agencies and research centres that is dealing with seismic risk and seismic disasters.
Earthquakes in Europe: The natural

hazards that cause the largest cumulative loss and fatalities in one event are the earthquakes. Earthquakes are a major natural hazard for a large part of the European Union territory. Particularly, the south-east European countries have suffered in the past from very serious seismic disasters.
Fig. 4.5. Seismicity of Europe: Creation of National, international and European policy for prevention and mitigation of seismic disaster is of primar importance (Fereniki Vatavali, 2003, European Commission, Directorate General, Environment Unit D3: Civil Protection).
On the other hand, the European Union has taken into consideration the seismic risk and thus significant scientific and technological achivements have been reached through various research projects, workshops, conferences and publications that have been followed and/or financed by the European Commission. The importance of citizen protection from risks within the European Union policies is a high priority. The enlargement of the European Union enhances the importance of earthquake risk mitigation, since the accessing and the candidate states in the southeast Europe are, in general, seismically sensitive countries. As a result, the future efforts in the field of mitigation and prevention of seismic disasters have to be intensified.
12
The high earthquake risk performing to the transportation networks in Southeast Europe (Fig. 4.6.) and especially the high risk performing to the major existing bridges (most older than 4050 years and with poor maintenance and safety), represent a common and important security and public safety issue that requires development and use of efficient risk reduction measures to protect citizens, related property, transport functioning and security plans.
Fig. 4.6. The strategic road network of Southeast Europe is located in the region with a very high seismicity.The priority investment projects for international and interurban transport will be mostly located on this network. Primary and secondary roads involve ~57000 km.
The main objective of the proposed research and the overall NATO SfP project is: (1) Development (creation) of a new highly efficient bridge seismic isolation system (MLGOSEB-System), based on innovative integration of the concepts of Multi-Level Seismic Energy Dissipation and Globally Optimized Seismic Energy Balance. In addition, several highly important project objectives are also the following: (2) Mobilization of scientific potential in the region for advanced solving of complex safety problems of existing bridges; (3) Closed cross-border cooperation and regional project development approach; (4) Promotion of application of advanced technologies for seismic protection of bridges; (5) Reduction of necessary financial resources; (6) Harmonization of the achieved level of safety and security; (7) Successful application of European standards; (8) Providing of own innovative scientific contribution to seismic isolation of bridges; (9) Motivation of end users toward application of innovative technologies; (10) Providing a general impetus to
13
The scientific staff and young researchers toward development and application of advanced technologies through successful international cooperation. 4.1.1. Security Problem Addressed by the Project The present project is relevant to the NATOs policy towards Defence Against Terrorism with providing contribution to improvement of: a) Emergency medical measures; b) Security in food domain; c) Prevention of eco-terrorism; d) Decontamination, etc. The project is also relevant to Scientific Collaboration to Counter Other Threats to Security with contribution to a number of sub-elements: a) Improvement of environmental security; b) Reduction of environmental impact of military activities; c) Water resources management; d) Disaster forecast and prevention; e) Human and social dynamics; f) Promotion and establishment of cooperative cross-border activities; g) Prevention of conflicts, etc.
Fig. 4.7. Position of the territories of the participating countries on the European-Mediterranean seismic hazard map: peak ground acceleration (g), 10% probability of acceedance in 50 years.
The project is also relevant to NATOs policy towards defence against terrorism or countering other threats to security, since it is related to the territories of the countries in the Southeast Europe considered all to be full members of NATO Alliance, but situated in the most severe seismic region, Fig. 4.7. Under such conditions some immediate support for their rapid preparation is of a particular interest at present and also in the future. Seismic upgrading of existing bridges is highly important but at the same time it is a very complex task for realization which should be immediately started and permanently supported. 4.1.2. Economic and Social Importance of the Project
With the application of the end-results of the present project, expected are also some related economic and social benefits and other important benefits, such as: a) Creation of Conditions for New Complementary Research: The realization of this project will create favorable conditions, not only for successful cooperation in the course of the realization of
14
this particular study, but also for planning and continuation of further cooperation involving appropriately directed new complementary research in the participating countries. b) Creation of Conditions for Sharing Facilities: For this specific research area, significant part of the investigation is related to accomplishment of various experimental tests. This cooperation will highly contribute to avoid duplication of costs, not only for the tests themselves, but also the cost of using appropriate laboratory testing facilities, other equipment as well as other direct and indirect costs. c) Use of Previous Complementary Studies: Taking into account the intensive research activities completed in the field of earthquake engineering and seismic isolation of structures (subject of the present project) under the guidance of the principal investigator from IZIIS, Skopje (PPD in this NATO SfP Project) during the past years, expected is successful realization of this project since the knowledge from the previous complementary studies will be appropriately implemented. d) Creating Conditions for Successful Future Cooperation: Finally it is particularly important to point out that the realization of this specific joint project will create all the necessary conditions for successful and more intensive future cooperation for the benefit of the participating countries in this important engineering field. e) Conditions for Acceptance: The initial study in this research area has been supported by the Macedonian Ministry of Science. This particular cooperative project will be an excellent possibility to continue the planned research work in this innovative and important earthquake engineering field, based on cooperative efforts of relevant researchers from the region. 4.1.3. Planned Impact of the Created Project Results The proposed project is basically devoted to the development of an innovative technology with the capability for successful earthquake protection of both, designed new bridges and what is even more important, appropriate seismic revitalization of existing bridge structures. This fact clearly expresses the wide possibility for significant future benefits for the participating countries, region and wider, in several related domains. 1. Benefits in Scientific Domain: This innovative cooperative project is expected to highly contribute to creating valuable benefits for the participating countries in the scientific domain including: (a) Quantification of design earthquake motions, (b) Development and modeling of specific seismic isolation and vibration control devices, (c) Improvement of seismic design concept of bridge seismic isolation systems, (d) Development of improved design recommendations, etc. A specific benefit will be the possibility for exchanging new ideas for continuation of research activities in this important earthquake engineering field. 2. Benefits in Practical Domain: The development of seismic isolation systems applicable for seismic protection of new and seismic revitalization of existing bridges actually represents a very significant subject which will create particularly important benefits in practical domain. Namely, the participating countries are exposed to earthquake disasters, and to reduce the seismic risk potential for the transportation networks, more efficient earthquake resistant systems of bridge structures should be developed and applied. The highly beneficial practical benefit form the realization of this project is evident from the fact that the bridge seismic isolation technology can be applied for seismic protection of new bridges, as well as seismic revitalization of existing seismically vulnerable structures. A large number of such structures exists in the region and the need for their upgrading based on new technological developments in this field is officially emphasized in all the countries.

Science and Technology Background of the Project Planned Scientific Advancements
This project is considered very important because it is primarily devoted to investigation and development of optimal bridge seismic isolation systems applicable for qualitatively improved seismic protection of practically variable types of multi-span bridges. Particular emphasis will be put on bridge systems that are most frequently applied in practice such are: (a) bridges with short (stiff) central piers, (b) bridges with long (flexible) central piers, and (c) bridge structures comprising both, short and flexible central piers. Some specific studies in this research area were carried out earlier in IZIIS, Skopje (Ristic, et al.) and previous research results will significantly contribute to achieve the planned development results in the frames of the present project and promote new qualitatively improved (and evidently needed) bridge seismic isolation system. 4.2.2. Planned New Technology to be Developed and Applied
Innovative Concept of GOSEB System: To provide the necessary technical conditions for more efficient seismic protection of existing and new bridges, created is the advanced concept of the efficient GOSEB system. The GOSEB- seismically resistant system is based on the concept of Global Optimization of Seismic Energy Balance by integration of the advantages of seismic isolation systems and the new multi-level seismic energy absorption, (Fig. 4.8).
Fig. 4. 8. Concept of The New GOSEB Seismo-Resistant System
Seismic isolation devices (isolators) are available and can be produced of different types. This enables wide and universal application of the seismic isolators in all kinds of structures. The new multi-level GOSEB hysteretic seismic energy absorber will achieve advanced features as to adapting its behaviour to the actual intensity of the input seismic energy. Actually, the GOSEB - hysteretic energy absorber possess the new favorable features of a multi-level earthquake response. For example, if there is no earthquake excitation, the GOSEB hysteretic seismic energy absorber will enable behavior of the structure analogous to the behavior of any traditionally constructed structure. If a relatively slight earthquake occurs, the GOSEB hysteretic seismic energy absorber reacts with a adequate level of dissipation of the input seismic energy, making the structure fully safe and avoiding even micro-cracks. If a moderate earthquake occurs, the GOSEB hysteretic absorber reacts with adequately increased level of dissipation of seismic energy, providing complete protection of the structure. Finally, in the case of the most severe earthquake, the GOSEB hysteretic energy absorber reacts with its full capacity for dissipation of the increased seismic input energy. The needed capacity of seismic energy absorbers should be defined based on advanced analytical models providing design of the optimal seismic performances of the GOSEB multi-level seismic energy absorbers. The multi-level response of the GOSEB system in compliance with the input seismic energy may provide a complete seismic protection of structures, even under the strongest recorded earthquakes.

Extended Background of the Project
Seismic upgrading of existing bridges along roads of the highest regional, national or local rank will directly contribute to the improvement of the security in each individual country participating in the project (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR Macedonia and Serbia) and will enable, at the same time, enhancement of different security related elements important for the wider region of the Southeast Europe and the European Union as a whole. As stated above, contribution is expected in the area related to defense against terrorism and improved scientific and general collaboration to counter other threats to security. The present project is considered as relevant and of particular interest because it will provide potential background to achieve several additional important goals such are: 1. 2. 3. 4 Large-Level and Long-term Positive Cost-Benefit Effects by using the Project Results; Possible Extension of the Achieved Project Results in Wider European Areas; Potential Positive Economic Impact in all concretely considered regions; Project results will directly contribute to achieving goals in General Regional Security Domains and Related NATO Specific Security Plans. Justification
4.4.
a) Evident reasons for research need and priority of expected end-results:

The development of transportation networks in Southeast Europe (SEE), connected and compatible with the corresponding EU internal networks, is among the activities that are given the highest priority by the EU, NATO and all countries in the process of accessing EU. Considering the pronounced seismicity, reduction of existing high earthquake risk performing to transportation networks in SEE and especially the high risk related to major bridges (large total number, exceeding 15000; most older than 40-50 years and with poor maintenance and inadequate safety), represent a common and important security and public safety issue that requires development of efficient risk reduction measures to protect citizens, related property, transport functioning and security plans. Eexpected results: The new ML-GOSEB seismic isolation system will enable: a) Increased efficiency of seismic protection of bridges; b) Wide and simple practical use for seismic upgrading of existing bridges; c) Reduction of economic costs in solving of this heavy road seismic safety problem and d) Introducing and application of a new concept for efficient seismic protection of bridges of vital importance. a) The results of the project will contribute to improved security in the participating countries: Seismic upgrading of existing bridges along roads of the highest regional, national or local rank will directly contribute to the improvement of the security in each individual country participating in the project (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR Macedonia and Serbia) and will enable, at the same time, enhancement of different security related elements important for the wider region of the Southeast Europe and the European Union as a whole. As stated above, contribution is expected in the area related to defense against terrorism and scientific collaboration to counter other threats to security. b) The novel aspects of the project are evident in the two important domains: Domain-1: Instead of complex and costly traditional methods, offered is a novel concept for seismic upgrading of existing bridges based on seismic isolation enabling: (1) Reliable technical solutions; (2) Reducing of the necessary financial resources; (3) Promoting of new physical principles; (4) Drastic reduction of seismic risk; and (5) Continuous functioning of the road systems.
17
Domain-2: Offered is a new advanced system for seismic isolation. The new ML-GOSEB system represents a high performance seismic isolation system for bridges based on an optimized seismic energy balance. This has been achieved by integration of: (1) The advantages of seismic isolation by an adopted optimized seismic isolator, (2) The advantages of the seismic energy dissipation by the adopted new multi-level seismic energy dissipation device or seismic energy absorber, and (3) The advantages of the effective displacement control by the incorporated optimized rubber stopper at appropriate locations. This integral innovative concept is characterized by the achieved very high vibration control performances. The development of the new ML-GOSEB system within this project will include realization of the following main development phases: (1) Development of innovative technical concept (solution); (2) Construction of full-scale prototypes; (3) Experimental laboratory testing of the constructed prototype models; (4) Development of new theoretical models for realistic response simulation of the new ML-GOSEB system; and (5) Development of an innovative design procedure for practical application of the new ML-GOSEB system for seismic protection of bridge structures. 5.

State of the Art of the Topic (including references of max. 5 recent relevant publications in refereed journals): The development of systems for seismic isolation of bridge structures represents scientific innovative field with two basic domains of innovative activities: (1) Development of a new technology by creating new and advanced bridge isolation systems through specific experimental tests and theoretical simulations, and (2) Innovative practical use of new seismic isolation systems as a qualitative upgrading of the classical concept for the purpose of improved seismic protection of both existing and new bridge structures. Current achievements in development of new materials, new production processes and alike provided the necessary prerequisites for further improvement of the technical performances of the existing SI systems. The proposed NATO SfP project represents an important challenge for the joint-research team to develop and experimentally verify a new and advanced system for seismic protection of new, as well as for efficient seismic upgrading of existing bridges of different age and diverse materials constructed by use of different design criteria and without adequate seismic protection. The planned innovative research project and the planned project end-results are, in fact, of particular general interest for the entire region of South-East Europe, European Union and Worldwide.

The partners will integrate their experiences and will produce specific contribution from their own countries within each working task. The involvement of the partners is varying thus reflecting their specific competences, previous experiences in the field as well as availability of laboratory testing equipment. It is envisaged that the proposed approach shall enable an effective realization of the project with assured benefits for all participating countries, region and wider.
5.3. Additional Facilities and Expertise Needed to Execute the Project The Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (IZIIS); University "Ss. Cyril and Methodius", Skopje, FY Republic of Macedonia will provide Dynamic Testing Laboratory and the main testing equipment planned to be used for realization of the original experimental testing. Apart from the possibility to use the other laboratory testing equipment, dynamic model tests can be carried out using the two-componental seismic shaking table installed in the Dynamic Testing Laboratory of the Institute. The size of the shaking table is 5.0 x 5.0 m in plan. The table is supported by four vertical actuators having a total capacity of 880 kN. In horizontal direction, the table is controlled by two actuators with a total capacity of 850 kN. The load carrying capacity of the table is 40 tons of mass for 0.7 g acceleration in horizontal direction, and 0.5 g in vertical direction, simultaneously. The analog control system has the ability of controlling five degrees of freedom: two translations and three rotations, and it has a three variable servo control system for simultaneous control of displacement, velocity and acceleration. The digital to analog conversion subsystem provides generation of controlled time histories. The subsystem has 12 bit digital to analog to digital converter and provides analog input signal at every 0.001 sec. The analog to digital conversion subsystem provides digital data acquisition of up to 32 channels. The subsystem has 12 analog to digital converters and is characterized by a maximum sampling rate of 100 samples per second per channel. This shaking table and the installed quasi-static testing equipment were used for realization of the previous research projects providing appropriate research data for continuation of the investigations in the framework of the presently proposed study.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESULTS
Mitigating the existing risks requires integrated and coordinated action in the integral region. The present NATO SfP project is originated and formulated as a pilot joint innovative project by the researchers from both, NATO-Country (Germany) and four NATO-Partner countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR Macedonia and Serbia), promoting and integrating the various key priorities of the current NATO SfP Programme. Development of advanced technology applicable for efficient prevention of heavy earthquake damage and total collapse of existing and new bridges in future earthquakes was challenging motivation to start with realization of this pilot-innovative project. Project activities are organized in a series of consistent working tasks grouped into nine main work packages, each one focussing on a specific research aspect. Implementation of the project results is one of the most important tasks, and it is considered as long-term activity with long-term benefits. The scientific team members of the Project are experts in the field with relevant and wellrecognized technical expertise in structural earthquake engineering. The final outputs of the Project will be available for the practical implementation to end users in all participating countries, including: Computer and other technical support developed in the Project along with software packages will be provided to all participating institutions. Research capabilities in all participating institutions in the Project will be strengthen by establishing of working groups and cooperation within the region. All Project Deliverables, Fig 7.1., entitled: D1: Advanced method for structural state diagnosis; D2: Advanced method for selection of bridge seismic upgrading techonology; D3: Prototypes of new hysteretic energy dissipation components; D4: Prototypes of new hysteretic energy dissipation devices; D5: Advanced modeling and analysis of bridges with new ML-GOSEB system; D6: Advanced design procedure for application of new ML-GOSEB system for seismic protection of new and existing bridges, as a crucial output of the Project will be introduced and published locally, as well as in scientific publications and conferences, with included acknowledgement of NATO support. The developed new technology should also represent a basic step toward to upgrading of EUROCODE 8 and will stimulate application of advanced technology for seismic protection of existing and new bridges. Results of the Project will be available to all foreseen end-users and will be applied in all participating countries. The Project results will have a significant long-term technological contribution to seismic protection of bridges at international, regional, as well as national level for all participating countries.

Promotion of a risk prevention culture, general public and community awareness and participation; publishing. VII. Background of the created new iziis education curricula: As a internationally very active member of the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University Skopje in the scientific fields related to development and enhancement of modern technology for control and mitigation of seismic risk through improvement of structural systems of engineering structures, IZIIS has continuously been committed to education of staff (in English) from the home country and abroad for the highest academic degree of master and doctor of technical sciences already for 40 years, i.e., since 1965. Today, the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (ZIIS) can rightfully be proud of the fact that the first post-graduate studies leading to the master degree in Republic of Macedonia, i.e., at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University were successfully organized and realized by this institute in 1965. Today, IZIIS represents an internationally highly reputed public scientific institution that continuously and successfully educates scientific staff to the degree of master and doctor of technical sciences in the field of earthquake engineering, which is a specific and multi-disciplinary scientific field integrating a long series of other scientific disciplines as are structural engineering with static and seismic design, engineering seismology, static and seismic design of high-rises, static and seismic design of engineering structures, specific seismic problems in geotechnics, ecology in seismic regions and alike. The IZIIS educational activity has so far successfully and thoroughly covered the stated related and specific scientific disciplines integrated into a wider modern and up-to-date interdisciplinary scientific field defined as earthquake engineering. However, the acceptance of the Bologna Declaration by the Republic of Macedonia also imposed the need for adequate harmonization of the IZIIS curricula. These were the reasons for the preparation of the present: New IZIIS education Curricula including Post-graduate (master) Studies, Doctoral Studies and Post-doctoral Studies. In fact, the New IZIIS Education Curricula is presently officially offered by the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, representing advanced high education program in the field. Over the 47 years of its existence, the Institute has been performing significant number of regional and national projects.
