In order to improve the practice of creating public policies based on facts and analysis, as well as expanding and strengthening the network of people who deal with public policies from different angles, a Policy Club has been established.

You can register and post your public policy analyses on the Policy Club website, and as an unregistered visitor you can browse, read and download all published analyses.

By joining the Policy Club, you become part of a community that deals with public policies in various fields, and you can contribute to making better decisions that affect citizens.

The team “Pannonian Crew” from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad, consisting of Aleksandar Rončević, Mihailo Milenković, Petar Kapriš and Vladimir Krsmanović, all Computer Science students, won the first place in the national competition for the best technological innovation in the category of student innovations. They developed the innovation “Lara” – a system for automatic accident detection and rescue of sailors, which consists of hardware and software systems.

Last week, in the ceremonial hall of the Rectorate of the University of Belgrade, the competition finals were held in the category of Innovative Ideas, a subcategory of high school and student teams.

From the moment of the initial application, there were two qualification rounds in which business models as well as technical feasibility of innovations were analyzed. These talented young people, third-year students of Computer Science, even as high school students had contacts with associations such as Maker, through which they studied outside the classroom and expanded their horizons and ambitions. Although they study programming, they have very broad interests, from music and philosophy to electronics and economics. Vladimir Krsmanović had already been in contact with the shipbuilding industry and there he encountered the problem of overboard falls into the water from ships (Man-Overboard), which motivated him to work on this innovation.

Although the team “Pannonian Crew” gathered only for this competition, they individually have had competition experiences and brought success from other competitions such as national competitions in mathematics and programming, Google HashCode, Competition for the Best Technological Innovation in the high school category, etc.

This victory gave them additional confidence that there was real potential in their idea and that it was recognized, which paved the way for a much broader dimension of the innovation creation process. The plan of these young researchers is to continue developing the idea and to test it on real ships soon.

The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Novi Sad (UNSPMF) has been recognized as an innovator due to a recently completed project funded by the EU Framework Program for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 called I-BiDaaS.

The main researcher and project coordinator at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad (UNSPMF) is  Prof. Dušan Jakovetić  of the Department of Mathematics and Informatics.

European Commission Innovation Radar, after analyzing the project results of the I-BiDaaS Project, has reached a conclusion that UNSPMF, together with the partner BARCELONA SUPERCOMPUTING CENTER, is the key innovator in developing the innovation categorized as:

Innovation Title: ADMM Machine Learning Algorithms;

Market Maturity of the Innovation: Market Ready;

Market Creation Potential of the innovation: Addresses needs of existing markets.
