Following the signing, Djelic recalled that Austria is Serbia’s largest investor with over €2.5 billion invested in various sectors, noting that this Agreement will enable a number of joint technological projects and joint initiatives.
Our country sees Austria as a priority partner, he stressed, reiterating that preventing the brain drain is one of the Serbian government’s chief goals.
He declared it is time to open a new era in relations between Serbia and Austria, which can be done through Serbia’s participation in Austria’s most ambitious projects in economy and science.
Djelic outlined that the Agreement on Scientific and Technical Cooperation identified two principal domains for cooperation. The first is to make the prestigious Campus Vienna Biocentre a strategic partner of a biomedical campus which is being formed within the Belgrade Clinical Centre, while the second is the participation of Austrian state agencies in financing technology for applied economy, he explained.
Minister Karl said that the Agreement signed today will enable Austrian and Serbian scientists to further their cooperation.
She specified that there are 13 agreements signed between Serbian and Austrian universities, along with an agreement with the Academy of Sciences, which amply demonstrates the high level of cooperation between the two countries in this respect.
Karl underlined that Serbia is Austria’s key partner in the Tempus Programme, while Austria is at the same time invaluable to Serbia in many sectors.
As part of his visit to Vienna, Djelic also visited several leading scientific institutions there.
