The project will be implemented around the idea of the real international cooperation in the SEE region, gathering scientists, engineers, medical doctors, young people and technicians within the joint research infrastructure with the mission “Science for Peace”. The Institute will be a regional Centre of Excellence based on the state-of-art sustainable technology which will assure high competitiveness to the rest of Europe. It will promote the regional collaboration in the fields of science, technology and industry and will represent a knowledge-based economy project. Particular component of the project is a platform for education and training for young scientists, researchers, technicians, medical doctors, biologists, biomedicine engineers and others who will contribute to the improvement of the whole Region in terms of technological advances, medical innovations, scientific achievements, industrial empowerment and economic benefits.
