Annual Report

In the memoirs about Prof. Sazdo Ivanov, one can read [1]:

"...During the period from 1953 to 1960, the following more significant changes took place at MTI: ...The necessary conditions were provided not only for conducting practical classes at a modern level, but also for carrying out scientific research. The Annual of MTI continued to be published regularly, in which primarily scientific works were published. Annual scientific sessions were held, where scientific research activities were reported..."
