  1. Prof. Dr Goran Djordjević SEENET-MTP Network Office Faculty of Science and Mathematics, University of Niš, SERBIA Bilateral vs. Multilateral Cooperation in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics in an Italian-Serbian Context Serbia – Italia Workshop Status and Perspectives of the Scientific and Technological Bilateral Cooperation June 25-26, 2012, Belgrade, Serbia Design: M. Milošević / www.svetnauke.org

  2. Needs and challenges for bilateral and multilateral cooperationItalian-Serbian ContextMathematical and Theoreticala Physics + Education • State of art • Hitherto experience and record of cooperation of Department of Physics Nis with Institutions from Italy is mainly based on cooperation with International Institution based in Italy and with an extended regional and multilateral motivation, target and background: • 1. UNESCO Office in Venice • 2. ICTP Trieste • 3. CEI Trieste • Notice: Main part of these investments likely came through Italian contributions!

  3. Types of Cooperation • Multilateral projects – Exchange&Training programs - proposed to the International Institution in Italy by Faculty of Science and Mathematics Nis, or Physical Society Nis • Bilateral programs • Between the Abdus Salam International Centre for TheoreticalPhysics (ICTP) Trieste and Department of Physics, University of Nis - Between SISSA and Faculty of Science and Mathematics Nis (under final consideration)

  4. Models of cooperation • Projects: Mainly one-year projects for research, training, capacity building, Data base … • Average amount of the budget ~ 10 000 EUR • Partners and Years • UNESCO Office in Venice: 2005 - 2011 (7 Projects) • ICTP Trieste 2009 - 2012 (4 Projects) • CEI Trieste - 2007 • Agreements • ICTP Federation Agreement 2002 – 2014 (4 agreements) • ICTP-FSM Bilateral Research&Training program 2012-2015 (start of implementation is expected during autumn 2012)

  5. Results • Around 1000 researchers, students, teachers and pupils took a part in the events and programs mentioned above in the period 2002 – 2012 • More than 150 short and mead-term visits-exchanges, fellowships, in the region including Nis and Italy (mainly Trieste) • Around 100 scientific papers in fields of Particle Physics, Quantum Field Theory, Cosmology published with an acknowledgement to these projects and programs • More than 10 various types of joint scientific meetings • Several books, monographs and similar publications have been published • Huge impact, visibility and new partners came thruogh this basic Italy-Serbia “ad hock” framework!

  6. Problems • Lack of financial sources for contribution from Serbian side to the bilateral projects • Main source the corresponding national Ministry, but it is, at least quite limited source. A solution should be explored at the national level … • Lack of sources for cofunding at the level of Universities and Faculties, beside a real difficult situation it is followed by a pure tradition in international cooperation and missing support for investments inside institutions. Problem at the level of local community • Lack of administrative and human capacities in the all phases of such kind of cooperation. A general problem, which could be reduced by targeted support, understanding and flexibility inside defined rules of cooperation from Italian side.

  7. Perspectives and proposals- Personal point of view - • Simplification of administration of the projects, in the same time improve visibility of calls and support administrative capcities of existing or promising ``small`` partners in Serbia • Establish a permanent Office for Italian-Serbian cooperation, but with an accent of joint application to the third parties • Open calls for multilateral projects based on existing Italian-Serbian cooperation • To support existing multilateral projects financed by International institutions in Italy but also, in some cases, by International institutions in general • To consider Italian role in projects of European Professional societies, for instance European Physical Society

  8. SEENET-MTP – a regional story • Recognizing the importance of bridging the gap between Southeastern and Western European scientific community the participants of the UNESCO-ROSTE - sponsored BALKAN WORKSHOP BW2003 "Mathematical, Theoretical and Phenomenological Challenges Beyond the Standard Model: Perspectives of Balkans Collaboration" (Vrnjacka Banja, Serbia, August 29 - September 3, 2003) came to a common agreement on the Initiative for the SEENET-MTP NETWORK • Structure Development 2004 - 2012 • 19 institutions from 10 countries in the region joined the Network • 14 partner institutions all over the world • about 300 individual members

  9. The Main Objectives and Aims • Provide the regional framework for the institutional capacity-building in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics • Strengthening of close relations and co-operation among faculties of science, research institutions and individual scientists in South-East Europe • Joint scientific and research activities in the region and fostering interregional collaboration, first of all European context, but also with a strong worldwide dimension • Support capacity building in science and technology for development by initiating intensive, new approaches to teaching physics and sciences • Promote exchange of students and encourage communication between gifted pupils • Support establishment of local and regional centers of excellence in physics and mathematics.
