Damjanović-Darbari meeting

   

Minister of Science Dr. Sanja Damjanović met today, on 10 May 2019, with Honorary Consul General of Montenegro to India, Ms. Janice Darbari.

During the meeting, the interlocutors exchanged information on the systems of science, research, innovation and technology in Montenegro and India, examining the opportunities for further development of cooperation between the two countries in those areas.

The discussion particularly focused on the cooperation initiated between the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Montenegro and the Indian Institute of Science, which can serve as a good example for other areas as well when it comes to cooperation improvement. In addition, the opportunities for cooperation in the fields of robotics, computer and experimental engineering, health tourism, agriculture and biotechnology were discussed.

Ms. Darbari indicated that she would, just as she did up to now, support all the initiatives for collaboration coming from the Montenegrin side, including the reopened issue of signing an agreement on scientific and technological cooperation, originally initiated by Montenegro in mid-2011 with a view to establish a legal framework for cooperation in the field of science and technology between the two countries.

Finally, Ms. Darbari pointed out that support could be expected in the further development of Montenegrin Science and Technology Park as well.
