Short description

Faculty of Physicsat the University of Belgrade is an institution several decades old, and is active in the field of nanosciences.

It is a public, non-profit research institution, supported mostly by public partnership, of, as stated, European importance. Its infrastructure is used for research, spreading of the knowledge, education of students and researchers in the industrial research departments.In order to establish and strengthen collaboration with centres of excellence or laboratories, joint research, exchange of knowledge, people and resources are mentioned as possible ways of realization. Also, need for additional assistance in establishing partnerships with potential EU and regional partners has been indicated.

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 bilateral contracts multilateral contracts. There are no formal procedures for access. Next, no specific requirements, apart from expertise, or limitations for researchers from WBC and third countries when scientific collaboration (short and long term) is concerned are foreseen. Currently, Germany, Greece, France, Slovenia are identified as main cooperation partners, and the willingness and openness to all kinds of cooperation with all EU and other countries is clearly stated. As main ways of carrying out the international cooperation, the institution mentions joint research (with 10-15 joint papers published in leading journals) and exchange of young scientists. Among existing agreements and contracts, the following are listed: 1) Prof. Maja REMSKAR, Nanophysics & Surfaces Laboratory, Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia, bilateral project BI-CS/04-05-037 2) Prof. Pierre TRONC (ESPCI, Paris, France). 3) Prof. Stergios LOGOTHETIDIS, Lab for Thin Films – Nanosystems. No data on granted access to the infrastructure are provided. As prospective partners, no specific institutions are given. However, there is interest in collaboration in the field of modern research of grapheme, and an experimental group will be useful in their theoretical research.
