SAIGE project - The project for accelerating innovation and fostering entrepreneurship in the Republic of Serbia
In October 2022, the Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stanković" signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation of the RS with the aim of supporting the process of institutional transformation through the implementation of the SAIGE project - "The project for accelerating innovation and fostering entrepreneurship in the Republic of Serbia".
The SAIGE project supports the further reform of the scientific and research sector, strengthens ties between the business and academic sectors, and promotes the development of innovative companies. It is implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation of the RS, the World Bank, and the European Union. Participants in the project include 18 scientific institutes, including IBISS.
The implementation of this project includes improving the quality of scientific research work, increasing the competitiveness of IBISS in international projects, promoting activities in the field of knowledge and technology transfer, and improving the capacity of all IBISS work processes.
In the implementation of the SAIGE project, international and national experts were consulted to help achieve the goals in the transformation process of IBISS, for which we thank them all:

Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. It encompasses diversity at the genetic, taxonomic and ecosystem levels. Biodiversity is important in both natural and artificial ecosystems. Today, biodiversity is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, unsustainable resource use, invasive species, pollution and global climate change.
Invasion biology studies introduced invasive species and their impact on the diversity, structure, dynamics, and functioning of the ecosystems they inhabit. Invasive species are considered one of the most significant factors that lead to a reduction in biodiversity.
Biomonitoring is the process of systematically observing, measuring, and analysing the physiological, biochemical, molecular, and genetic responses of living organisms to environmental changes, thus providing qualitative or quantitative information on the state of the environment. It includes the use of various bioindicators, biomonitors, bioaccumulators, and biomarkers.
Bioremediation is the process in which living organisms (mainly plants, microorganisms, or plant and microbial enzymes) are used to reduce, degrade or detoxify contaminants, pollutants, and toxins in soil, water, and other elements of the environment.
Biotechnology is defined as the use of biological processes and systems (living organisms or their parts) to develop or modify different processes or products useful to humans and includes analysis of risks of its implementation (biosafety).
Ecophysiology studies the physiological processes in living beings that are a response to changes in the external environment and that are fundamental to understanding the mechanisms and interactions that underlie the adaptive strategies of organisms. The effect of climate change, the presence of various pollutants, the availability of nutrients, and habitat degradation are some of those influences that are studied.
Ecotoxicology studeies the toxic effects of chemicals on the environment. The effects are studied at the level of molecules, cells, tissues, organs, individual organisms, populations or ecosystems.
Urban ecology focuses on studying fundamental ecological concepts within urban areas. It examines how ecological patterns, relations and processes differ in urban environments compared to non-urban environments, and investigates the impact of urbanisation on the ecology of organisms. Additionally, urban ecology examines the relationships and interactions between ecological and social systems within urban ecosystems that are made exclusively by anthropogenic activity.
Environmental protection comprises reduction or prevention of pollution, negative impacts on the environment, damage caused to ecosystems or natural resources caused by human activities.
