Twinning Light Project between Greece and Serbia with the participation of ICB-NHRF

ICB-NHRF is among the partners that will implement the recently approved Twinning Light Project between Greece and Serbia (Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation), entitled “Strengthening capacities and introducing EU practices for sustainable operation and management of the Bio4 Campus”. The project will be implemented under the Annual Action Plan 2022 for Serbia, European Integration Facility (Twinning No.: SR 22 IPA SO 02 25 – Publication EuropeAid/185518/DD/ACT/RS). In Greece, the project is coordinated by the Center of International and European Economic Law and, in addition to the NHRF (scientific coordinator: Dr. E. Gonos, Director of ICB-NHRF), the Biomedical Sciences Research Center “Alexander Fleming” and the National Observatory of Athens are also participating.

The project aims to establish the newly founded BIO4 Campus in Belgrade as a flagship innovation ecosystem in Southeast Europe, capable of conducting cutting-edge research and enabling the development of scientific and technological solutions fully aligned with EU standards and regulatory frameworks in key areas of life sciences. It will also support Serbia in accelerating its EU accession by facilitating the transfer of best practices from EU Member States in the fields of research and innovation. The project has a duration of eight months, with the possibility of a three-month extension, and a total budget of €250,000.
