By establishing the foundation, Miodrag Kostić’s aspiration is to give society the first Centre for Research and Popularisation of Science in Serbia, following the example of the best such centres worldwide. This vision gave birth to the Palace of Science, which will nurture the passion for discovery, new knowledge, and pushing boundaries.
Our partnership with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade marks the beginning of creating a platform that will bring together people and organisations who share common beliefs supporting the development of scientific research and activities around the Miodrag Kostić Foundation.
THE FIRST CENTRE FOR RESEARCH AND POPULARISATION OF SCIENCE IN SERBIA
The Palace of Science, our boundless world, is dedicated to awakening human curiosity and a passion for knowledge. We celebrate the human mind, its power to create and change, and its ability to discover and explore.
The Palace of Science will offer a wide range of scientific content and activities on more than 5,500 square metres.
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FACULTY OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
The future Palace of Science building will host 19 research centres led by professors from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. Research from various scientific fields will be conducted in over 1,500 square metres of laboratory space.
