In the memories of Prof. Sazdo Ivanov, it is read [1]:

". . During the period from 1953 to 1960, the following more significant changes occurred in MEI: . . The necessary conditions were ensured not only for conducting practical classes at a modern level, but also for carrying out scientific research. The Annual of MEI continued to be regularly published, which mainly featured scientific products. Annual scientific sessions were held, at which the scientific research activities were reported . . ."
