Drecun will discuss the challenges of adaptive changes in the system of science and innovation, changes that require both the transformation of institutions and changes in the behavior of individuals, with several examples of institutional reform attempts to support science and innovation in Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Where there is will, there are ways, even in societies with challenging and long lists of priorities. When you believe that knowledge and solidarity move the world, there is no choice but to dedicate your professional path to spreading them. For that, in addition to good will and enthusiasm, you need similarly motivated allies, willingness to take risks on the path of difficult but necessary changes, and a good network of contacts and confidants around the world, with adequate knowledge and influence, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
