Short description

The festival Science and Innovation Days, organized by the Ministry of Science and Technological Development, will be held from September 29 to October 2.

It aims to promote science and innovation among children, youth and the widest community, while also ensuring the platform and instigating numerous discussions among stakeholders on science and innovations related topics. The concept of innovations has been part of the festival for the first time and it reflects Montenegro's orientation towards smart specialization pursuit.

Key events building upon the smart specialization (S3) concept promotion will include the EC JRC conference and the Fair of innovative projects. The events will gather all key stakeholders – public administration, scientific and research community, economic entities – innovative companies and innovation infrastructure, civil sector, but also individuals – youth, students and startupers, to discuss the goals, achievements and challenges of S3 in Montenegro, and to promote innovations and present their contribution to the S3 development.
