Over the past few months, INOMER has coordinated the international expert assessment of ICTM and the preparation of the Institute's Transformation Plan within the framework of the SAIGE Project (Serbia Accelerating Innovation and Growth Entrepreneurship). The SAIGE project is financed and implemented in cooperation between our country, the World Bank, and the European Union, with the aim of additional investment in science, technological development, innovation, and innovative entrepreneurship. The reform of 20 institutes is planned within the project, including ICTM. The meeting where the finalization of the draft of the Transformation Plan was discussed was attended by members of the ICTM Transformation Team: Dr. Vladimir Panić, Dr. Željko Čupić, Dr. Dana Vasiljević-Radović, Dr. Slobodan Cvetković, Dr. Nebojša Nikolić, Dr. Nataša Božić, Dr. Bojan Bondžić, and Dr. Matija Zlatar.

The success of our researchers - Special recognition ZELENI LIST for Dr. Dragana Djordjevic

Our colleague, Dr. Dragana Djordjevic, is one of the winners of the Special Recognition ZELENI LIST (Green leaf) for 2022 in the activities organized by Radio Belgrade 2 and the Movement of the Gorans of Vojvodina. This is the oldest ecological recognition in Serbia, started by the Ecological Magazine "Waiting for the Wind," the Second Program of Radio Belgrade, and the Society for Air Purity of Serbia back in 1983. It aims to improve the protection and preservation of the environment by rewarding individuals and organizations that care most or, on the other hand, pollute the environment the most.

Congratulations to our colleague Dragana Djordjevic for this recognition for her contribution to the preservation of the environment, and we wish her a lot of success in her further work!

Representatives of the ICTM Gender Equality Committee participated in the International Workshop Horizon 2020 projects LeTSGEPs and MINtheGEPs

One of the main goals of our institute is to increase participation in international, especially EU programs, such as Horizon Europe. The design and implementation of an efficient Gender Equality Plan (GEP) are one of the main prerequisites for participation in these projects.

Representatives of the ICTM Gender Equality Committee, Tatjana Šolević Knudsen (Full Research Professor), Miloš Ćirić (Associate Research Professor), and younger colleagues Branka Lončarević (Assistant Research Professor) and Katarina Antić (Junior Researcher) attended the workshop organized by Mathematical Institute of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA) and University of Belgrade, School of Electrical Engineering in cooperation with foreign project partners. The workshops took place in the Grand Hall of SASA on June 20th, 2022.

LeTSGEPs should foster the use of Gender Budgeting (GB). MINtheGEPs also focuses on GEPs development and collection of data on the macro, meso, and micro levels. Linking with institutions participating in these H2020 projects could help the ICTM research and administrative staff to improve the GEP implementation.
