On Monday, January 15, 2024, the second round of the project proposals evaluation as part of the internal competition of the Institute of Physics Belgrade “Proof of Concept” was completed. The goal of this initiative, which is successfully implemented at the Institute of Physics, is to encourage the innovative initiatives of the Institute’s researchers.
The projects are financed from the funds of the World Bank’s SAIGE project, in which the Institute participates, and the total allocated amount is 365,000 euros. The evaluation process was conducted in two rounds. Six projects received full funding in the first round of evaluation, and two projects received partial funding. And now, in the second round, five projects have received funding.
The projects that received full funding in the second round are:
Optimization of iron bio-nanoparticles synthesis using bacteria, Lead Researcher: Dr. Iva Rosić
Non-invasive determination of cortisol from hair in chronic stress by Raman spectroscopy, Lead Researcher: Dr. Jasmina Lazarević
