Macut held talks with Sir Lawrence Bristow, President of Hughes Hall, and Professor Sir Keith Peters, Emeritus Professor of Medicine, on opportunities to strengthen ties between the academic and scientific communities in Serbia and Cambridge, facilitate knowledge exchange, and develop joint research projects.

At a meeting with Professor Patrick Maxwell, Head of the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine, and Dr Olena Kinyur, responsible for international cooperation with Europe, Central Asia and Pakistan, particular attention was given to developing joint study programmes and research in the fields of biomedicine and personalised medicine.

Discussions also focused on intensifying cooperation in innovation and scientific and technological development, with the aim of establishing closer links between scientific institutions, professors, researchers and young scientists from Serbia and the University of Cambridge.

“Serbia has the knowledge, high-quality institutions and people capable of working on an equal footing with the best in the world. We want to create even more opportunities for our young doctors, scientists and researchers to engage in such cooperation, and ensure that the knowledge they acquire serves as a driving force for Serbia’s development,” Macut said.

These meetings concluded the Prime Minister’s working visit to the United Kingdom, which focused on strengthening Serbia’s ties with leading British institutions in the fields of science, medicine and digitalisation.
