University of BelgradeOn Wednesday, 08/03 2023, as part of the SAIGE project of transformation of our institute, World Bank expert Dr. Davorka Moslavac Forjan visited ICTM. On that occasion, a meeting was held with representatives of the Transformation Team of our institute, where the first steps in the Transformation Plan regarding technology transfer were discussed.
The Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, on the occasion of the successful implementation of the first year of the IDEAS program, organized a "working breakfast" for PIs within the sub-program for natural sciences. This event was also attended by our colleagues Sanja Stevanović, Željko Čupić, and Matija Zlatar. They presented the AdCatFC, NES, and TMMagCat projects being implemented at our institute. This was also an opportunity to get to know the other IDEAS project leaders, exchange experiences, and discuss the results achieved in the first year and possibilities for future cooperation.
The IDEAS program is the largest program of the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, with a total budget of EUR 30 million, which finances 105 projects. ICTM is the lead SRO on four projects and a partner SRO on one project. Thirty-nine projects were funded within the natural sciences subprogram.
As part of the Call for co-financing scientific and technological cooperation between the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of France (program “Pavle Savić” / “Hubert Curien Partnership”) for the two-year project period 2023/2024, 20 projects were approved out of a total of 70 proposed that met the conditions of the Competition. Among the approved projects is the Computational design of magnetic anisotropy in transition metal ion-based molecular magnets, submitted by Dr. Maylis Orio from Aix-Marseille University and Dr. Matija Zlatar, Principal Research Fellow, ICTM.
Congratulations to our colleague and his team on the received bilateral project, and we wish them much success in the realization of the planned research!
The AdCatFC project (Advanced Catalysts for Low Temperature Fuel Cells: From Model System To Sustainable Catalysts), funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia through the program IDEAS, was presented in the show "Science to industry" (Nauka privredi) on RTV (Radio-television of Vojvodina). Dr. Sanja Stevanović, senior research associate and project PI, and team members presented the goals and basic concepts behind the AdCatFC project and, at the same time, promoted our institute and part of the research carried out at ICTM.
