22 Mar Future of modern industry depends on science – CTT as a member of Council for Science-Industry Collaboration
In order to meet the growing needs of the modern industry, the contribution of science and researchers is essential. Direct collaboration between science and industry is one of the best channels for knowledge transfer, where all participate in the research and share its risks and benefits.
In order to establish mechanisms for such collaboration, the Council for Science-Industry Collaboration of Chamber of Commerce and Industry was founded and its member is the director of the Center for Technology Transfer of University of Belgrade, dr. Nedeljko Milosavljević. From its foundation, Center helped scientists’ and researchers’ work lead to new, life-improving products. Center actively works on improvement of collaboration between the University of Belgrade and industry and supports researchers and students in putting their ideas/projects into practice.
Center had been recognised as a reliable partner in developing and transferring new technologies and knowledge and was invited to join the Council. The Council’s main goals are to establish the collaboration between science-research institutions and the industry in Serbia by creating mechanisms for this collaboration, launching initiatives that would contribute to knowledge transfer, university entrepreneurship, improvement of international collaboration in R&D projects, etc.
The Council for Science-Industry Collaboration gathers representatives of the innovation ecosystem of Serbia, such as representatives of ministries, R&D institutions, private sector, universities, institutions that finance innovation, business support organizations, etc.
