On the National Day of Science, July 10, 2025, a protocol of cooperation was signed between the Vinča Institute and the Museum of Science and Technology. This protocol is the foundation of future cooperation on the joint promotion and preservation of the Institute's scientific heritage, as well as the organization of joint programs in the field of scientific communication.
The Museum's delegation consisted of director Zoran Lević, Zorica Civrić Flores, museum advisor, and Ivan Stanić, senior curator and head of programs. In addition to the ceremonial signing of the cooperation protocol with the Director of the Institute, Dr. Slavko Dimović, the visit also included discussions on further strengthening the collaboration between the two institutions through joint initiatives aimed at collecting, preserving, and protecting cultural heritage in the field of science and technology, as well as promoting the Institute as the oldest and largest scientific institution in Serbia.
The signing of the cooperation protocol followed the initial visit of the Museum delegation to the Vinča Institute at the end of February this year. In a short tour of the historical core of the Institute, our guests were given a tour of the library, the Laboratory for Physical Chemistry 050, the old accelerator building and the glass-blowing workshop. As part of the tour, the guests were presented with numerous interesting items from the library's collection, such as manuscripts from the legacy of the founder of the Institute Pavle Savić, as well as numerous rare books. The Institute's efforts to digitize part of the library's collection and present it to the public were also presented. The director of the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry, Dr. Miloš Momčilović, led the guests through the laboratory and presented the latest research as well as the rich history of the oldest laboratory in the Institute.
