Francophone Center

The Center will, owing to the cutting edge telecommunication equipment and rich didactic resources, contribute to the creation of numerous important academic connections between the Serbian scientific community, French scientific community and francophone countries. This Center provides possibilities for virtual connecting and networking of scientists, researchers and students which will improve overall conditions for organizing lectures, consultations and all other forms of cooperation without usually high travel costs. The state-of-the-art digital equipment, tools and materials which will be available to the Serbian scientific community at the Center will secure our researchers and students’ equal access to the scientific resources and knowledge networks on the European level.
