President of the Serbian Chamber of Engineers (SCE) Dragoslav Sumarac and the first Serb to become a member of the European Academy of Sciences (EAS) told Tanjug that he will use his membership in the prestigious institution for science development in Serbia.
Sumarac said that Serbia has to aim toward entering the most European institution as possible, especially scientific institutions. The EAS with its head office in Liège, Belgium is an institution that gathers great number of recognized scientists, Sumarac said. According to him, there are about 650 scientists from more than 60 countries, and most of them are from the USA and Japan. One of its members is the Nobel Prize Laureate in Medicine Rita Levi-Montalcini.
Through the EAS Serbia will be able to participate in numerous important projects. The president of the SCE stated that not enough funds are invested in science in Serbia, but lately our country recognized its importance and trying to solve the problem. Without investments in science, we cannot count on the overall development and growth. The EAS promotes excellence in science and technology and their essential roles in fostering social and economic development and progress. The Academy emerged from a project that started in 1999 with the goal to help economies in flagging regions of Europe. Professor Sumarac was born in Raska in 1955. He graduated on Faculty of Construction Engineering in Belgrade in 1979 and got his MD in 1983, and got a PhD on the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA, Major Theoretical and Applied Mechanics-Damage mechanics.
