Short description

Faculty of Metallurgy and Technology at the University of Montenegro has been providing services for material science, technology, engineering, environmental protection and education for more than 25 years.

It is equipped with the following: equipment for qualitative and quantitative chemical determination, AAS, Spectrophotometer, equipment for characterization of waters, pH, Oxygen, temperature, common chemical equipment, devices for optical microscopy with digital image processing, equipment for metallographic preparation of specimens, equipment for macro and micro hardness testing, equipment for ten silo testing of materials, Sharpie testing, all types of laboratory furnaces, Laboratory press for hot pressing, common casting devices and furnaces

It is a public research institution, supported mostly by public partnership, of, as stated, regional importance. In order to establish and strengthen collaboration with centres of excellence or laboratories, scientific projects, exchange of researchers, providing of modern equipment, financial support are mentioned as possible ways of realization. Also, need for additional assistance in establishing partnerships with potential EU partners has been indicated, with following concrete proposals: provision of modern equipment, financial support, provision of access to the specific data bases in the field of material science and environmental protection. There are no obstacles to partnerships within the region.

OPERATION AND UPGRADE OF RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE AND OR IMPORTANT RESEARCH EQUIPMENT

Years in operation
  • More than 25 years
Comment on cooperation
Its research infrastructure is open towards external users, which is enabled through cooperation agreements, bilateral and multilateral contracts. Agreement of Cooperation between Slovenian Faculty of Natural Science and Engineering and Montenegrin Faculty of Metallurgy and Technology illustrates this statement. Serbia, Slovenia, Poland, Ukraine, FYR Macedonia are main cooperation partners. There are no differences in access policy for different groups (e.g. researchers from EU Member states, researchers from other Western Balkan Countries, researchers from industrialized countries such as US, Canada, Japan and researchers from other countries). Also, there are no specific requirements or limitations for researchers from WBC and third countries when scientific collaboration (short and long term) is concerned. The infrastructure is open to international cooperation mainly through participation scientific projects in the field of material science and environmental protection. No data are given on access to infrastructure granted. The Faculty is open to cooperate with any interested research institution in the field of material science and environmental protection. There is no clearly defined strategic approach or policy to attract researchers from EU member states or from other countries. Previously defined scientific projects and signed agreements are a prerequisite for access of incoming researchers.
