Short description

The Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade (FCUB) is centrally located in Belgrade and Serbia, and that way it is perfectly suited for interactions with local universities, research institutes and industry, as well as institutions and industry in the region of the Western Balkans. A total of 23 000 square meters are owned by the FCUB, which comprises of research and training facilities, as well as a well-established IT centre. In total, the FCUB employs permanently 46 senior researchers and 50 research and teaching assistants.

Due to its internationally approved, diversified and high-quality research and education activities, the FCUB represents one of the most important and prestigious institutions in Serbian research area and society. The Faculty's ongoing aim is to maintain and justify this outstanding reputation and to find new ways of enhancing it in these uncertain times of external pressures and increased financial constraints that the universities in Serbia face nowadays. The mission of the FCUB is to continuously improve chemistry science in general by performing multidisciplinary research and research-based teaching within disciplines: biochemistry, biotechnology, analytical, environmental, inorganic, medicinal and organic chemistry, nanotechnology and natural products research supported by computational chemistry.

OPERATION AND UPGRADE OF RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE AND OR IMPORTANT RESEARCH EQUIPMENT

Years in operation
  • More than 25 years
Comment on cooperation
The FCUB has established excellent connections and partnerships with numerous research institutions from the EU and the USA so far. Existing projects are projects with WUS Austria, National Institute of Health (USA), Tempus Project and Faculty also made application for one FP7-RegPot 2009-01 Project. The researchers of the FCUB have already taken part in bilateral collaborative projects with France, Germany and the USA and are currently taking part in several national projects and international cooperation initiatives. The results of these cooperation are very large number of scientific papers. The FCUB will improve cooperation with other centers of excellence in the region and Europe wide. The institution will improve quality of the research and its capacity to participate in FP7 projects in order to become an integral part of ERA. In addition, FCUB has intensive cooperation with chemical and energy industry in different fields of chemistry.
