4.2.1.3 University of Belgrade<br />

www.bg.ac.rs<br />

University of Belgrade is the largest (and the<br />

most decentralized) among Serbian Universities.<br />

It was established in 1905 and today it has<br />

31 faculties and 11 institutes, with around<br />

90000 students and 5000 academic staff.<br />

Faculties may be divided into several groups<br />

according to subject areas of studies organized<br />

in them. Each faculty organizes undergraduate<br />

and postgraduate studies in the field for<br />

which they are entitled. Interdisciplinary and<br />

multidisciplinary studies are organized at the<br />

University level (source: TEMPUS report).<br />

The Belgrade University Information Center<br />

(www.bg.ac.rs/csrp/clanice/centri/ic.php) acts<br />

as an integrative information service at<br />

the University level, and contributes to the<br />

strengthening of the role of the University<br />

in the society. Its activities are aimed at<br />

stimulating the level of communication<br />

among the members of Belgrade<br />

University through dissemination of<br />

relevant information within the University<br />

community but also between the University<br />

and its broader environment. The main task<br />

of the IC is to incite, support and overview<br />

the development of the intranet and internet<br />

functions (web site). Moreover, IC provides<br />

other services, such as electronic publishing,<br />

digital libraries, distance learning and<br />

implementation of international standards.<br />

The Center for Strategic Management and<br />

Strategic Planning (CESMUB)<br />

(www.bg.ac.rs/csrp/clanice/centri/sm.php)<br />

was founded in order to strengthen the<br />

integrative functions of the University,<br />

as well as the planning, organization and<br />

implementation of strategic activities of<br />

the University. Activities of CESMUB are<br />

directed to promotion of new forms of links<br />

among faculties within the University, as<br />

well as the University with its external<br />

environment. As the University of Belgrade<br />

is the largest University in Serbia, there is a<br />

need for development and implementation<br />

of modern and effective organizational<br />

structure, as well as managerial system,<br />

which are the basic functions of CESMUB.<br />

The Centre for Career Development<br />

(www.razvojkarijere.bg.ac.rs/) has been<br />

officially founded by the University of<br />

Belgrade in 2006, as joint initiative of the<br />

Foundation of Crown Prince Alexander for<br />

Culture and Education, the University of<br />

Belgrade and the University of Nottingham.<br />

CCD as a professional university service has<br />

aim to support students and recent graduates<br />

in developing practical knowledge and skills<br />

relevant for employment, or continuing<br />

education upon graduation and to connect<br />

them to the business community.<br />

The Center for Science and Technological<br />

Development (www.center.bg.ac.rs/) (CENTER)<br />

was founded in 1999 by the University of<br />

Belgrade and the Development Fund of the<br />

Republic of Serbia. In the CENTER research<br />

activities are pursued in two organizational<br />

units: 1) Center for Plasma Physics and Plasma<br />

Technology; 2) Serbian-Japanese Centre for<br />

Scientific Simulations.<br />
