Short description
Electrical Engineering Department (EED) is one of the oldest units at the University of Montenegro. The Faculty cherishes both, fruitful research activities and high teaching standards. It is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, learning and understanding in the service of society.
For almost 48 years the Faculty of Electrical Engineering has made an eminent contribution to the modern life in the various aspects of modern information society in Montenegro: power engineering, telecommunications, electronics devices, computer engineering and technologies. Responding to the needs of the environment, EED has diversified its study profiles and curricula during the past 40 years.
Currently, the EED has three divisions: Division for Power Systems and Automatic Control, Division for Electronics, Communications and Computer Engineering, and School of Applied Computer Engineering. So far, more than 2100 students have graduated at the EED. The EED has proven to be one of the most significant scientific institutions in the region. For instance, the research output from the EED in the last five years was about 200 scientific papers, 50 in leading world journals and 150 at international conferences. Furthermore, through the participation in several European Commission funded projects, the EED has gained the experience that recommends it as a referent and reliable partner in international initiatives and projects.
The Faculty employs more than 30 teachers (professors, associated professors, and assistant professors) and 28 teaching and research assistants. Approximately 70% of teaching staff has experience in teaching and research activities abroad, mainly in the USA and EU countries.
Comment on cooperation
EED research facilities and research infrastructure are opened for the external users. Many guest researchers are coming to EED to do joint research. The visits are possible in the frame of bilateral cooperation or joint research projects.
EED has also cooperation with the local industry. EED works on projects and studies, performs necessary measures, gives certificates for the imported equipment, etc. for the telecommunication, electronic and power system companies in Montenegro.
Many joint research projects, in different areas, have been realized, or are still ongoing, in the cooperation with the partners from the EU countries.
Short description of access policy and procedures for users of this research infrastructure
It is open to external users, and cooperation is conducted under various programmes, either within the interuniversity cooperation, or other existing programmes (FP6, FP7, NATO SPS, PELIKAN). Apart from the cooperation with the countries from the region, the EED cooperates with EU countries (such as France, Greece), Japan, USA, etc.
