PARTNERS

Institute of Physics Belgrade (IPB)

IPB is the first National institute of the Republic of Serbia, is dedicated to the study of physics and related disciplines. The research conducted at IPB into the fundamental mechanisms of nature is of strategic value to the scientific, educational, cultural, and overall socio-economic development of Serbia. With more than 200 researchers, IPB hosts four National centers of excellence and is a principal partner in a large number of national fundamental and applied research projects, as well as technology and innovation projects. IPB is recognized today in Serbia as a leading national research institution and in Europe and globally as a trustworthy partner and a relevant research center, as reflected by its participation in many EU FP6, FP7, H2020, and other international projects and collaborations.

Singidunum University (US) 

US is the largest accredited private University that has been also accredited as a Science and Research Organization. The lectures at the University are held within 16,000 m² of high-quality space equipped with necessary computer and Internet infrastructure, by over 169 professors from the country and abroad, out of which 45 full professors. At this moment the University’s staff is engaged in 19 projects, out of which 15 being financed by Serbian government ministries and 4 being international. The University’s mission is to allow the transfer of contemporary knowledge in three scientific fields. The accredited undergraduate and postgraduate study programs in the areas of Information technology, Software and Information Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computing and Data Science comply with the topic of this Project.
