Four doctoral dissertations during September 2023

The Nikola Tesla Institute, with the comprehensive support of the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation of the Republic of Serbia, as well as the Project for the Acceleration of Innovations and Encouraging the Growth of Entrepreneurship in the Republic of Serbia-SAIGE (the Ministry, the World Bank and the European Union), per the new research and innovation management system, continues its decade-long practice of supporting young researchers through financing doctoral studies and scientific-professional and technical research support.
The fruit of this cooperation is the defense of four doctoral dissertations during September 2023 at the School of Electrical Engineering of the University of Belgrade. With this, the Institute received four new PhDs who will bring new energy to research, innovation, and new development ideas through scientific and research projects (RS Science Fund, RS Innovation Activity Fund, European Union, industry...)
