Studenti PMF-a učestvovali u NTU Taiwan Chip-based Industrial Innovation Program 2025
Studenti Prirodno-matematičkog fakulteta Univerziteta u Novom Sadu su od 2-14. marta 2025. učestvovali u programu NTU Taiwan Chip-based Industrial Innovation Program na Državnom univerzitetu Tajvana u Tajpeju.
Luka Divjaković, student računarskih nauka, Andrej Rajkov, student informacionih tehnologija, Pavle Tepavčević i Mihailo Milenković, studenti master programa veštačke inteligencije, imali su priliku da steknu dragoceno iskustvo u oblasti mikroprocesora, veštačke inteligencije i robotike.
Učešće naših studenata u ovom programu rezultat je saradnje Prirodno-matematičkog fakulteta i tajvanskog partnera, što je našim studentima omogućilo da uče od vodećih svetskih stručnjaka u industriji mikroprocesora.












Tajvan je globalni lider u proizvodnji mikroprocesora i poluprovodnika, a njegova ekonomija u velikoj meri zavisi od ove industrije. Više od 60% svetske proizvodnje čipova dolazi upravo iz Tajvana, zahvaljujući kompanijama kao što su TSMC i Mediatek, koje snabdevaju najveće tehnološke gigante širom sveta.
Tokom programa, studenti su prisustvovali predavanjima uglednih profesora i stručnjaka iz oblasti mikroprocesora, veštačke inteligencije i robotike. Takođe su imali priliku da posete vodeće tehnološke kompanije kao što su ST Microelectronics, TSMC, Mediatek i Delta, gde su iz prve ruke mogli da se upoznaju sa najnovijim dostignućima u industriji čipova. U Istraživačkom centru Univerziteta studenti su imali priliku da rade sa silicijumskim pločicama, osnovnim materijalom za proizvodnju mikroprocesora.
Pored akademskih aktivnosti, učesnici su istražili i bogatu kulturnu baštinu Tajvana, uključujući i posetu muzejima u Tajpeju.
Posebnu zahvalnost dugujemo kompaniji Sixsentix i platformi za učenje SixCube University, koji su svojim sponzorstvom pokrili veći deo troškova puta do Tajpeja, omogućivši našim studentima da budu deo ovog programa.
Luka, Pavle, Mihailo i Andrej su jednoglasni u preporuci budućim generacijama da iskoriste ovakve prilike, jer će stečena znanja i kontakti biti neprocenljivi za njihov dalji akademski, profesionalni i lični razvoj.
LUNCHTIME TALK #7 O VEŠTAČKOJ INTELIGENCIJI održan je 4. marta 2025. na Prirodno-matematičkom fakultetu u organizaciji Kancelarije za međunarodnu saradnju
Pričom o fenomenu veštačke inteligencije smo nastavili tradiciju održavanja skupova koje smo nazvali lunchtime talks, a koji su savršen način da o aktuelnim temama i uspešnim projektima čujemo iz prve ruke – od naših uspešnih profesora. Moto ovih skupova je ,,Kolege – kolegama” a cilj razvoj kulture deljenja, povezivanja i promocije nauke u okviru PMF-a.
Kolega, profesor Miloš Radovanović, redovni profesor na Departmanu za matematiku i informatiku je podelio deo svog znanja i istraživanja o veštačkoj inteligenciji i približio nam šta jeste i šta sve nije veštačka inteligencije, šta sve može, ali i ne može da uradi za nas. Tako je i naslovljeno održano predavanje: Artificial Intelligence: What It Is (Not), and What It Can (Not) Do – With Case Studies in Graph Embedding.
Prof. Radovanović je na interesantan i praktičan način predočio šta su veštačka inteligencija (AI) i mašinsko učenje (ML), kakvi su različiti tipovi AI sistema i koje su mogućnosti i slabosti najsavremenijih AI i ML tehnika. Takođe, profesor je govorio o AI metodama za ugrađivanje grafova, što nam omogućava da koristimo “klasične” AI i ML tehnike razvijene za tabelarne podatke na grafovima, otvarajući ogromne mogućnosti za izgradnju inteligentnih sistema koji rade na podacima grafikona, uključujući aplikacije za klasifikaciju, grupisanje, predviđanje veza i detekciju anomalija.
Kolega je takođe predstavio rezultate svoji uspešnih projekata finansiranih od strane Fonda za nauku: završeni projekat pod akronimom GRASP i tekući pod akronimom TIGRA (FN (FN Program za razvoj projekata iz veštačke inteligencije).
Demistifikacija veštačke inteligencije kao vruće teme je mnogima od nas dala ideju o trenutnim pristupima AI, kao i o onima koji su još daleko od „rešenih“. Jednako važno, ovim pedavanjem smo osvestili koliko je, pre svega, važno koristiti AI odgovorno, svrsishodno, etično i na dobrobit čovečanstva.
Stay tuned za najavu teme lunchtime talk #8!

UNSPMF signed a collaboration agreement with Ningbo University School of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering in April this year and the concrete goals of the visit were oriented towards articulating the next steps. It was concluded that the first activities in collaboration will be: joint research projects, joint publications, academic exchange on all levels, joint conferences, networking events, etc. In addition, exchange of students will be continued as it was successfully started by UNSPMF hosting PhD student Zhu Lipeng, who is conducting his research at the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Environmental Protection supervised by Dr. Snežana Papović and her colleagues.
Both delegations presented their institutions, shared a vision of this collaboration and further discussion was continued during the visit to the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Environmental Protection. Both partners expressed their belief that this collaboration has an excellent potential for creating joint impactful research.





Horizon Europe project Restore4Life launches a Call for Associated Regions

Restore4Life (GA number: 101112736) has recently launched its Open Call for Associated Regions
Restore4life is looking for at least 5 Associated Regions to prepare roadmaps, plans, and projects to restore wetland ecosystems in their region with up to 100 000 Euros per project to create new opportunities and collaborations that will shape the future.
We are looking for at least 5 Associated Regions that we can provide with technical assistance to use the outcomes and knowledge of Restore4Life to prepare roadmaps, plans, and projects to restore wetland ecosystems in their region.
The aim is to share the results and knowledge of the project on an ongoing basis with the selected ‘associated regions’ and to provide them with scientific and technical support for the implementation of wetland restoration solutions in their territory. This will involve the twinning of each Associated Region with a similar demonstration site and the provision of technical advisory services necessary to prepare roadmaps, plans and projects to restore ecosystems in the associated regions addressing possible barriers and showing the feasibility of implementing innovative solutions.
For more info on the Open Call, please visit the official Restore4Life website and click HERE
