Nikolay Natchev Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Shumen, 115 Universitetska Str., Shumen, Bulgaria, *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In the range of the plenary lecture will be analysed some of the obstacles which may impact negatively the professional careers of the young scientists in Bulgaria. As main trammels to the rapid development of the beginning specialists were identified: 1. The lack of opportunities on the labour market; 2. The bad condition of the facilities and the lack of modern equipment; 3. The inadequate results dissemination strategies; Comments on the listed topics will demonstrate that there are relatively simple solutions to these serious problems. Some advices and guidance will help the students to formulate scientific hypotheses, to concept and write a project, to obtain favourable prise offers for modern equipment, to establish own working groups and to make the right decision in the choice of the journals and books where the products will be published. Some tips on the design of scientific manuscripts will help the young authors in the preparation of a paper. The procedure of submission and revision of scientific articles in bi-reviewed journals will be described in details. In conclusion will be introduced a newly established platform for exchange of scientific information and products
