FUNK Symposium: Days of Scientific Diaspora, October 18–19

The Institute for Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies of the University of Montenegro (UCG) is organizing a two-day international scientific symposium, Days of Scientific Diaspora 2024. The formal opening will take place on Friday, October 18, at 8:45 AM, in the UCG Rectorate, and will be opened by the acting director of the Institute for Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies, Prof. Dr. Nedeljko Latinović, the Minister of Diaspora Mirsad Azemović, and the acting director of the Directorate for Scientific Research, MSc Marica Melović.

This years event is part of the Festival of Arts, Science, and Culture – FUNK, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of UCG and will feature programs throughout October. The first event of this type was organized in 2022. Days of Scientific Diaspora traditionally take place on October 18 and 19 and will continue to be organized annually around these dates, allowing the scientific diaspora to plan their participation in advance. This years symposium once again gathers leading scientists from this region, currently conducting research at prestigious institutions in America, Europe, and the region. Students are invited to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn about the latest advancements in science.

The symposium will cover topics from various fields, including healthcare, biology, genetics, economics, management, physical chemistry, geosciences, architecture, mathematics, statistics, electrical engineering, computing, and artificial intelligence. Presentations will be given by professors and researchers from the diaspora, alongside prominent international experts.

Messages from Nobel laureate Jean-Marie Lehn, sent at the request of UCG, will be presented on the second day of the symposium. Lehn, a renowned French chemist, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1987 alongside Donald Cram and Charles Pedersen for the synthesis of cryptands, molecules with internal cavities that allow highly selective interactions with other molecules. This work was pivotal for the development of supramolecular chemistry, which studies interactions between molecules. Further information about his life and work is available at NobelPrize.org.
