UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE
The University of Belgrade is a state university,
with 89 482 students and 7 665 employees
(teaching stuff - 4 933).
University comprises
- 31 faculties,
- 11 research institutes,
- University Library and
- 7 university centers.
Faculties are organized into 4 groups:

- technological sciences (11).
UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE
The new system of studies was introduced in 2005.
Now we have
- 97 programmes of undergraduate studies,
- 120 programmes of master studies,
- 69 programmes of doctoral studies.
We are still developing the new system of studies. The biggest
change from the old system are the doctoral studies.
We are looking for the ways to include the growing number of
doctoral students into the projects, especially those that cover new
approaches and ideas.
Earth observation projects and programmes that promote GEOSS
are very interesting for quite a number of our doctoral students.
UNIVERSITY OF BELGRADE
The University of Belgrade participates in a
large number of international and national
projects.
Among the international projects there are:
- 34 project under the Seventh Framework Programme,
- 11 project under the SCOPES (2009-20012).
A number of international and national projects deal with the Earth
observation data.
FACULTY OF MINING AND GEOLOGY
Faculty of Mining and Geology belongs to the

FACULTY OF MINING AND GEOLOGY
Faculty of Mining and Geology is devided into two
sections – Geological Section and Mining Section.
Study programmes at the Geological section are
- Geology,
- Geophysics
- Geotechnics and
- Hydrogeology.
Study programmes at the Mining section are
- Mining Engineering
- Petroleum Engineering and
- Environmental and Safety Engineering
(totally new program, that deals with mining pollution and
environmental and safety protection in mining areas).
FACULTY OF MINING AND GEOLOGY
Faculty of Mining and Geology participates in
several international and national projects.
Projects under the Seventh Framework Programme:
RESTCA-TERCE-NIPMSS - REinforcing S&T CApacities of Two
Emerging Research Centers for Natural and Industial Pollutant
Materials in Serbia and Slovenia

We also participate in:
GEOHAZARDINFO: Virtual data base center for geohazards –
bilateral project with Republic of Croatia
Alltogether 14 national projects fininanced by the Goverment of
the Republic of Serbia (5 projects in Basic Research Programme
and 7 projects in Technological Development Programme).
The most of our international and national projects deal with the
