Project description
Promoting research and science in Montenegro
Innovation, new technologies and research all play a significant role in the advancement of modern society. The EU-funded Montenight2020 project will work to improve the image of researchers and their achievements for the benefit of Montenegrin society, by promoting research and innovation in competitive sectors such as ICT technologies, research in energy and sustainable environment, sustainable and health tourism and sustainable agriculture and food.
