Embassies and foreign cultural and scientific institutions in Serbia
Since it was established in 2010, the Center has developed successful partnerships and collaborations with numerous embassies and branches of foreign cultural and scientific representatives in Serbia. In respect to the Center’s types of activities and the programs that are being presented to the local audiences, this kind of support is essential when inviting exceptional individuals from the world of science, culture and art to Serbia. This also applies to the diverse, contemporary content of the programs which promote science and its infinite manifestations!

The German Embassy and the Goethe Institute
The establishment of the May, Month of Mathematics national event in 2012, would not have been possible without the direct collaboration with the German Mathematics Society and its then president, the famous scientist and promoter of mathematics Günter Ziegler. As a result of their assistance and the programmes we received from Germany, the Centre succeeded in organising an event never before seen in these parts. A significant part of this collaboration also included the German Embassy and the Goethe Institute, who supported the publishing of Ziegler’s book Do I count?
In addition to Günter Ziegler, who gave the opening popular-science lecture in the Great Hall of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, Thomas Focht, who was in charge of science communication and media relations for the German Mathematics Society was also a guest.
