  4. Activities • 3. We made • 100% translation of the key words and units of the science domains used in the COSMOS Portalwww.univie.ac.at/astroid/cosmos-tools/formular.php • 100%translation of the materials for Workshop Validation. COSMOS 4th Project meeting 18-19 March 2009

  5. By the 22.44%translation of the portal COSMOS Bulgaria is on the first place for this activity. COSMOS 4th Project meeting 18-19 March 2009

  6. 4. The first workshop was held in Varna on 12th September 2008 with 45 participants. The goals, tasks and possibilities of the project have been presented. As a result of the training the teachers acquired knowledge how to prepare materials. They are eager now to use the astronomical images, to participate in activities and initiatives of the project.
