PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FACULTY OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
As a top educational and scientific institution in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science and software engineering, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Belgrade enjoys an exceptional reputation in our country and around the world. By educating the best talent and leaders for generations, this faculty is recognised as a natural partner for the Miodrag Kostić Foundation in its mission to advance knowledge that pushes boundaries.
The significance of this non-commercial partnership will primarily be reflected in its contribution to education, scientific-technological progress in Serbia, and the initiation of an innovation wave. The established collaboration aims to provide modern facilities, equipment and the best working conditions for professors, students at all levels of study and postdoctoral researchers at 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.
