Today the FDIBA is an established German-Bulgarian institution which, thanks to its modern linguistic and technical education as well as excellent research, is of great importance as a catalyst for economic and cultural relations not only for Bulgaria and Germany, but also south-eastern Europe and the neighbouring regions. The FDIBA should simultaneously promote the German concept of a dual training combining aspects of theoretical studies and practical input.
