In line with the European strategy of scientific research Bulgaria has adopted the provisions and principles for carrying out scientific research. The national strategy of scientific research takes into consideration the peculiarities and trends of national scientific potential development and puts an emphasis on the relation of scientific achievements with practice. The scientific research at „D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics” is focused on the need of a systematic institutional change through transformation of its position, role, managerial structure and financial incentive mechanisms. In spite of being institutionally systematic, the change is also oriented to individual researchers and their stimulation and motivation, as well as to career development of young researchers. The strategy proposes program balances, that are specific for the Academy, which take into consideration the contemporary trends in scientific research. The project covers issues related to development of scientific research within the European Union and nationwide, the state of research at „D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics” during the period 1996-2010, indicators for assessing the outlined areas of project activity development and the potential for further improvement of that trend.

Human capital development requires lots of investments. They can actually be estimated and implemented by an individual, a business organization or the state. The usefulness of the investments is evaluated in terms of the effectiveness which they bring to the development of subjects and the implementation of their knowledge, skills and habits. The European Union funds various projects and schemes for unemployed and employed people related to the human factor development: „Back to Work”, „Development”, „Adaptability”, „I can”. We have tried to outline the main features of the above schemes. We analyzed them in terms of their realization putting emphasis on two regions with the highest unemployment rate – Montana and Smolyan. Particular atten¬tion is paid to the scheme „I can” and in particular to statistical data analyses and their links to data from the empirical research among service providers and individuals in¬volved in the scheme. We used data from the Employment Agency, opinions of experts and professionals engaged in implementing the schemes and based on the analysis we reached certain conclusions and offered some proposals.
