The vision of the Nikola Tesla Institute is to act as a bridge between scientific achievements and the energy sector in Serbia. Through our project activities at the local, national, European, and international levels, supported by the SAIGE project, we aim to accelerate the energy transition in Serbia.
National
Green2Grid+
Green Innovation Laboratory for Renewable Energy Sources and Grid Integration
Objectives: The Green2Grid project enhances the research excellence of the Nikola Tesla Institute in the field of grid-connected power converters for renewable energy sources, through collaboration with Prof. Miroslav Vasić (Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain). The project guides the development toward the establishment of a modern laboratory for renewable energy in Serbia, with clear scientific, environmental, and economic impact. Knowledge transfer through workshops and mutual visits will contribute to strengthening Serbia’s research capacity, accelerating the energy transition, and supporting the implementation of the Green Agenda.

NanoThink
Teaching critical thinking in science through nanolearning and virtual exchange principles (NanoThink) project
Objectives: The project is a comprehensive initiative aimed at creating a specialised program that encourages critical thinking in science. The principles of virtual learning and so-called focused nano-tools will be used in the development of the program, so that the learning experience will be attractive, interesting and effective for modern generations of students.
Funding: ERASMUS + Virtual Exchange
Project duration: 2024 – 2027
Coordinator: prof. dr. sc Sandra Kraljević Pavelić, Faculty of Health Studies, University of Rijeka
Our role: member of the consortium
Keywords: virtual learning, critical thinking, focused nano-tools

ODYSSEE-MURE 2022
Monitoring the Energy Efficiency Pillar for Climate Neutrality
Objectives: The project aims to support policy makers in the countries of the European Commission, Member States (MS) and the Energy Community (EnC) to most effectively implement the framework of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) at the national level. It represents the continuation of previous ODYSSEE-MURE projects. As the previously developed tools have been successfully used in the past, they will be extended from the 27 EU member states to the 9 EnC countries, with the support of a specific "buddy system" of selected partners from the EU27. New tools, such as the web-based energy efficiency policy assessment tool and the policy radar, will strengthen the capabilities of EU Member States and EnC. The project will improve, update and modernize ODYSSEE-MURE tools and databases to support EU and EnC Member States through regional and national events and trainings, as well as newsletters, policy briefs, webinars and social media. In addition, the analysis developed in this project will be expanded through cooperation with the European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ECEEE), which organizes the most important energy efficiency events, which brings together policy makers, researchers and industry .
