Belgrade,
20 June 2009
Serbian Deputy Prime Minister for EU integration and Minister of Science and Technological Development Bozidar Djelic said today that Serbia should strive to build a system which would encourage scientists and utilize their work to develop the economy.
Speaking at a roundtable discussion “Valuing scientific and development research” at the Faculty of Information Technology, Djelic said that encouraging scientific and development work is an important part of the national strategy for science and technological development which will be presented at the end of this month.
He said that recommendations made at the roundtable discussion will be included in the draft strategy, adding that the presentation of the strategy on June 29 will be attended by EU Commissioner for Science and Research Janez Potocnik.
He said that the level of both the quality and quantity of scientific work in Serbia should increase and the best research papers published in international journals should be given special recognition.
Speaking about the problems of scientists in Serbia, Djelic said that they now have access to better equipment but they do not have adequate funds to meet all the requirements for carrying out research within the country.
The roundtable discussion was held as part of a two day expert meeting “Scientific, technological and business information System SNTPI 09”.
The aim of SNTPI 09 is to raise public awareness about the concept, activities and potential of specialized scientific, technological and business information systems.
The meeting was organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Science and Technological Development.
