Path to Scientific Excellence and Innovation: First Meeting of the Working Group for the Science and Technology Development Strategy 2025-2029 Held

The Strategy aims to raise standards in science and technology, create an encouraging environment for researchers and talents, and enhance the application of scientific results to address societal and economic challenges. Serbia aspires to become a leading player in international scientific and technological advancements.

State Secretary Vukašin Grozdić emphasized that a draft of the strategy is currently being prepared and will be open for public consultation in October and November, with active involvement from the entire scientific community.

The strategic framework will include strengthening the research workforce, supporting spin-off companies, connecting science with industry, and enhancing the management and evaluation of scientific results. These efforts are expected to significantly boost Serbia’s innovation potential and global competitiveness in science.

The public consultation process is expected to conclude by the end of the year, followed by a public debate and adoption of the Strategy.
