How are the international scientific-technological projects with the participation of scientists from Serbia implemented?

Scientific research projects within the framework of international cooperation are implemented through the participation of research groups and scientific research organizations in numerous programmes of bilateral and multilateral cooperation.

 

Within each programme, specific topics and analysts monitoring their implementation are defined.

 

How are scientific and research human resources developed?

The scientific and research human resources are fostered and developed through:

 

  • scholarships for young and gifted people, with financial support of a series of activities related to their studies and training,
  • visiting scientific conferences abroad,
  • postdoctoral training of PhD researchers abroad,
  • stay of foreign researchers in the Republic of Serbia.

 

In addition, we recognize the results in the following:

 

  • co-financing of publishing paper results in monographs or journals,
  • organization of conferences in the country,
  • professional literature is acquired from abroad.
