Institutional research, current research projects and collaborations
The institution has a policy for encouraging and supporting the research work of students and teachers, at the same time.
In addition to organizing courses that enable the rooting of the principles of the scientific method, the Institution in its study programs offers the possibility of carrying out scientific projects under the guidance of mentors on the topics offered by the educational boards.
Due to the difficulties in developing the Institution’s research programs in this situation, the school offers the realization of research projects from a limited scope, and that in the realization of research projects – epidemiological in the topics offered by the board of public sciences, the board of basic biomedical sciences (physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry etc.) and clinical sciences board.
With the aim of raising the new research-scientific generation and rooting the principles of the scientific method and developing new knowledge, students are constantly involved in research-scientific activities intended for students, as well as in research-scientific projects of the academic staff.
In order to ensure the best possible conditions for this activity, it has taken a series of actions to ensure the necessary infrastructure for genuine research-scientific activity, in terms of the development of the scientific library, the functionalization of the scientific information service, the support of the publishing scientific activity and activities for the development of research laboratories.
As an institution, we have also developed activities for the intensification of cooperation in the field of research-scientific activity with other local and foreign institutions, in terms of developing joint research programs, conducting studies and research of a theoretical and practical nature in different fields of special interest, support for the implementation of scientific research results in practice, increase in volume and increase in quality of research-scientific activity, support and motivation of scientific workers and researchers to engage in research-scientific work, supporting the scientific publishing activity, supporting and encouraging the creation of inter-institutional links for the realization of the joint research-scientific activity.
Scientific information services, in a systematic way, throughout the calendar year, notify the academic staff with the agenda of meetings, conferences and congresses, national and international in the relevant fields, in order to advance the activity in the field of publications as well as adequate research- scientific information.
