Associates of the Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijić” SASA, Ana Milanović Pešić, Slavica Malinović-Milićević, Tamara Gajić, and Marko D. Petrović, have been engaged as visiting professors at the Institute of Natural Sciences and the Graduate School of Economics and Tourism at the Eurasian National University (ENU) in Astana (Kazakhstan) in the academic year 2025/2026.

During the winter semester of 2025, Dr. Malinović-Milićević was engaged as a visiting professor at the educational programs of basic and master studies in geography. The teaching was implemented in an online format for one group of students at the basic level and one at the master’s studies in geography.

During the summer semester of 2026, Dr. Gajić and Dr. Petrović provided guest lectures at ENU, and the goal of their visit to Astana was to create educational and scientific ties between institutions and exchange knowledge in the field of international academic practice.

During the summer semester of 2026, Dr. Milanović Pešić was engaged as a visiting professor at the educational program of master studies in geography. Her teaching was implemented in an online format for two groups of master’s students in geography.

Special appreciation is extended to the Office for International Cooperation of ENU and the management of the Institute of Natural Sciences and the Graduate School of Economics and Tourism at the ENU for the invitation and support.

Multilateral project “Geomorphological interpretation of photogrammetry and laser scanning data in the study of torrential watersheds”

Project ID: DS-15

Project leader: Dr. Valentina Nikolova

Project coordinator in Serbia, employed at the Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijić”, SASA: Dr. Ana M. Petrovic

Project holders: University of Mining and Geology “St. Ivan Rilski” in Bulgaria, Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijić” SASA, Geosciences Rennes of the University of Rennes, Global Change Research Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences

Partner organization on the project in Serbia: Faculty of Geography, University of Belgrade

Project duration: from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025

Sponsors: Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation of the Republic of Serbia, Program of international scientific cooperation of importance for the Republic of Serbia – Program for financing multilateral scientific and technological cooperation in the Danube region

 

The Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijić” SASA is involved in the project “Geomorphological interpretation of photogrammetry and laser scanning data in the study of torrential basins”, which lasts 48 months. The implementation of the project in Serbia is financed by the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation of the Republic of Serbia.

The multilateral project brings together 6 academic and research organizations from Serbia, Bulgaria, France and the Czech Republic. The project focuses on the analysis of sediment granulation and orientation using classic and modern methods employing UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) and Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) technologies. The general goal of the project is to support the investigation of torrential phenomena using multisensory methods and the mapping of hydro-geomorphological risks of torrential floods and debris flows in the watersheds of hilly-mountainous areas.
