The Minister of Scientific and Technological Development and Higher Education of the Republic of Srpska, Prof. Drago Mastilovi\u0107, PhD, said that Srpska wanted to create a better environment for domestic science development by stronger supporting science and connecting with relevant institutions in Serbia and around the world, in addition to better integrating the knowledge and experience of scientists of Srpska origin working abroad into future scientific research projects.<\/p>\n
He noted that the Academy of Sciences and Arts (ANURS) was the most significant scientific institution in the Republic of Srpska and thus a focus for the relevant ministry.<\/p>\n
\u2018This year, Srpska\u2019s Government launched the activities aimed at increasing investment in science to strengthen scientific research capacities and create better working conditions for researchers,\u2019 said Minister Mastilovi\u0107 after the meeting with B\u00e1lint and ANURS President Dragoljub Mirjani\u0107.<\/p>\n
He stated that the intention was to further develop scientific research activities between ANURS and the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) through systemic support, to back high-quality projects, and to enable researchers to play a more prominent role in international scientific circles.<\/p>\n
Mirjani\u0107 noted that the meeting had focused specifically on scientific research projects, organizing scientific gatherings, publishing conference proceedings, exchanging researchers, and establishing stronger ties with scientists from Srpska living and working abroad.<\/p>\n
\u2018This year, nine scientific projects involving SANU are planned across various fields, including natural sciences, mathematics, technical sciences, biomedicine, chemistry, and geology,\u2019 Mirjani\u0107 stated.<\/p>\n
He said the goal was to create new opportunities for scientific research development and to increase the participation of researchers from the Republic of Srpska in international projects and conferences through collaborative efforts.<\/p>\n
Mirjani\u0107 stated that the purpose of the upcoming Banja Luka gathering was to share experiences and knowledge with the scientific community and to establish lasting cooperation, as connecting with scientists from the diaspora could be of great importance for involving researchers from the Republic of Srpska into valuable international projects, major scientific conferences, and other forms of international collaboration.<\/p>\n
B\u00e1lint said that the cooperation between the Ministry, ANURS, and SANU should be long-term and concrete, based on joint projects, knowledge and researcher exchange, and connecting scientific institutions.<\/p>\n
\u2018Cooperation between the two academies exists already, and I hope it will be flexible and yield results,\u2019 Balint said.<\/p>\n
