The continuation of cooperation represents progress towards a common goal in the fields of scientific research, popularization of science, and art as well as their application in improving the quality of education, promoting science, cultural heritage, and contemporary artwork.
“One of the goals of our work at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory is to emphasize the public role of the humanities and the social sciences. We hope that the continuation and deepening of cooperation with the Center for the Promotion of Science will help bring current scientific topics closer to citizens,” said Dr. Vujo Ilić, assistant director, on the occasion of signing the Memorandum.
“The Center for the Promotion of Science has been collaborating with the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory for many years, and the signing of the Memorandum is actually just a formalization of our deep relationships that extend from the domain of the impact of science and artificial intelligence on society to art&science programs,” said Dr. Marjana Brkić, acting director of the Center for the Promotion of Science.
The collaboration between the Institute and the Center for the Promotion of Science in popularizing theory and research has existed for years through various projects and the engagement of individual researchers.
By signing the Memorandum, this form of collaboration will further expand the visibility and the importance of the public role of the humanities and the social sciences through the organization of exhibitions, lectures, workshops, conferences, and festivals.
