Two mobilities implemented at DunavNET (Serbia)

During November, two UDG researchers implemented a month long mobility at DunavNET as part of the TRACEWINDU MSCA H2020 project. Mr Ivan Jovovic and mr Dejan Babic, PhD students, engaged in productive discussions with DunavNET’s expert team members. The focus was on evaluating blockchain frameworks to identify the most suitable structure for ensuring transparent and secure wine traceability. They also analyzed data model requirements, highlighting the importance of data integrity and accessibility for tracking wine from production to consumption. During their stay, they went through a training on the utilisation of various AI tools and resource management on Azure platforms. An idea that will be pursued in their future research would be creation and use of chatbots for engagement of stakeholders. More on the TRACEWINDU project can be seen at the following link.

UDG students at the Summer School in Beijing 2024

Undergraduate and master’s students from the Faculty of Information Systems and Technologies had the opportunity, through the University of Donja Gorica, to attend the “Study in BIT” summer school in Beijing, as part of an international summer program at the prestigious Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT).

UDG students took part in the Summer School in Bejing

During the program, alongside more than 70 students from different parts of the world, they participated in courses on electronic engineering. They had the chance to explore modern technologies and learn about their application in various industries. The program included: practical work on software-defined radio and wireless communications, project-based learning in the field of emerging technologies, application of AI solutions in agriculture, lectures on cutting-edge technologies. In addition to academic activities, students engaged in a rich schedule of cultural activities and visited renowned Chinese companies Alibaba and Baidu.

“Study in BIT” was attended by over 70 participatns from all over the World
Mr. Arnad Lekic participated in seceral training workshops
Students learned about AI applications, electronics, radio and wifi networks

Stevan Cakic, PhD student, at the University of Barcelona, Spain

During three-week stay at the University of Barcelona, he worked on establishing cooperation and networking with a team of researchers. He presented his work and doctoral research at their weekly seminars, as well as participation in lectures and seminars on artificial intelligence. A particularly important aspect of his stay was working at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, where Stevan acquired new skills and met another group of researchers. This stay advanced Stevan’s research abilities and also opened new opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange in the field of artificial intelligence. His mentor during this stay was Petia Radeva, from Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Mobility was funded by Ministry of Science and Technology of Montenegro.

Zoja Scekic, MSc candidate, at Arizona State University, USA

Zoja spent 17 days at Arizona State University as an attendee of the Sustainable and Innovative Solutions Summer program. During the visit, she had the opportunity to participate in classes and learn more about sustainability and innovations, as well as to network with other participants and professors. As additional activities, she visited the Virtual Reality Classroom, Innovation Center, and Downtown Campus. Furthermore, she visited the ASU Decision Theater, which utilizes advanced technology and HPC to aid in collaborative decision-making, research, and visualization. For her final group project, she presented the possibility of the usage of Artificial Intelligence for an improved education system.
