Metagenomic analysis of wastewater from settlements gives dynamic information about the health status of the populations. By analyzing the dynamic information about the ecosystem from microorganisms living in the waters from different regions and separating wastewater from human activity, new knowledge about the interactions between humans and microorganisms can be gained, information can be obtained and new interactions of importance for health, industry, agriculture can be discovered. The map of microbiological diversity can be referred to various other data for the respective regions and can be used to build effective systems for monitoring and forecasting the health of large groups of the population.
 
Three educational projects of great importance - the master's degree programme "Circular Economics" at Varna Free University, the project of MU - Varna in partnership with VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar" - "Creating a multidisciplinary educational environment for staff development with integrated competencies in the field of biomedicine and healthcare ”and the D-Care project “Developing, piloting and validating smart care models in the Danube region for supporting social innovation, improving competencies and entrepreneurship” of the Regional Agency for Entrepreneurship and Innovations – Varna (RAPIV) will be presented during the forum.
