Up to now, 25 organisations (seventeen faculties, eight institutes) have joinedthe EURAXESS network in Serbia, signed a declaration of commitment and nominated Local Contact Points to provide mobile researchers and support the network operations. The first national EURAXESS seminar for coordinators of service centres is planned for October 2009 in Niš and is expected to enhance the operational capacity of the network.

The Serbian EURAXESS portal (www.euraxess.rs), which was developed by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Niš and launched on January 1, 2009 became a useful and powerful tool, which offers a wide range of information and online services to mobile researchers. To date, already more than 7,000 people from all over the world have visited the portal. Moreover, as a part of the promotional activities around the project, a Facebook page called ”EURAXESS 2 Research in Serbia“ has been created.
