The project “Promoting gender equality through dissemination of research on access to reproductive care and dialogue on gender and education” is implemented by the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory (IFDT) with the support of the OSCE Mission to Serbia, from 15 May to 15 November 2026.
The ACT-2 project strengthens the capacities of civil society organizations in Serbia by improving their sustainability, expanding their support base, and promoting greater citizen engagement in public dialogue and decision-making. The Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade, contributes to Outcome 3 by providing expert and analytical support to partner local organizations. IFDT engagement focuses on strengthening advocacy initiatives through methodologically rigorous approaches, the use of empirical data, and the development of evidence-based recommendations.

This project investigates the role of literary fiction in shaping collective memories of the 1990s among young readers in Serbia, focusing on youth born after 2000 who lack personal memories of the breakup of Yugoslavia and the wars in Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo.
We explore how women—especially Roma women—access reproductive healthcare in medically underserved, predominantly rural areas (“medical deserts,” where services are scarce or hard to reach).
Within our research, we will utilize Gramsci’s “cultural hegemony” theory, which examines how the dominant class establishes social consensus and imposes its ideological “common sense.”
The course helps participants acquire new knowledge about the history and memory of the Holocaust and other genocides, and develop skills related to a scientific approach to these topics.
The main goal of the project is to gain theoretical insights into the processes through which political affects can become intersubjective and create the potential for social change, particularly within the context of significant social crises such as the 2008 financial crash or the COVID-19 pandemic.
The project explores how Neoplatonic metaphysics shaped the Christian and Islamic traditions, focusing particularly on its influence on theological and philosophical doctrines, religious practices, artistic and architectural expressions, and medical procedures.
IFDT is implementing the project “Distributed Archiving at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory (IFDT)” Funded by Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web, the project aims to collect, digitize, preserve, interpret, and distribute information related to cultural heritage that various political and cultural authorities have treated as “undesirable” or “unworthy” of support.
