Cooperation with the Faculty has been fostered for years. The signing of the agreement will enable, among other things, professional development of young assistants from the Faculty at the Institute with the aim of providing them with practical training in the scope of the Institute’s activities.
This envisages the cooperation on the implementation of scientific research and projects, preparation of student papers and providing internships for students, conducting lifelong learning programmes, organization of professional and scientific lectures, organization of professional and scientific conferences, verification of competences for the performance of work related to the activities of the parties to the Agreement, elaboration of technical documentation and consulting services as well as cooperation on all other activities that both parties find to be of mutual interest. In addition, the Institute will benefit from the wealth of professional and scientific knowledge of the Faculty staff.
It is our opinion that it is of outmost importance in these difficult times to promote the importance of knowledge and excellence in this way, and thus invest in the future of young intellectuals who represent the foundation for the development of competitive economy as a prerequisite for the advancement of our county and, indirectly, the whole country.
