None of the key challenges of our time – including environmental issues, climate change, global pollution, hazards and accidents – can be addressed without acknowledging the essential role of research and education. As one of the leading higher education institutions in the region specializing in occupational and environmental safety, the Faculty conducts research that tackles these issues at a global level.
We strive to remain competitive across several research domains, such as occupational safety, environmental protection, environmental management, fire protection, and emergency management.
Over the past decades, the Faculty of Occupational Safety has taken part in numerous scientific projects funded by the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia and other national ministries. We have also been involved in projects supported by EU programmes (Erasmus+ projects: KA1Mobility Projects (students, staff), KA2 Cooperation Partnerships, Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE), Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships, Jean Monnet activities), COST Actions (funded through Horizon Europe framework), Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) projects (Cross-border cooperation), INTERREG projects (Transnational and cross-border cooperation projects) TEMPUS programme projects, and other international funding schemes.

About SETOF project: Land degradation, especially physical degradation, with soil erosion as the most common degradation process, is a significant problem for the conservation of resources and has a large negative effect. One of the consequences of soil erosion is the occurrence of torrential floods. The floods that occurred in the last time, again point to the need to improve the education of professionals who will enable better prevention of torrential floods. The field of soil erosion control and protection against torrential floods are not included in the study process at all the faculties of forestry and other related faculties of the universities in Serbia and B&H. For these reasons, there is a need for the development of a new master and improvement of the existing bachelor curriculum by introducing new subjects or by changing the syllabuses of existing subjects...

The cross border municipalities are less attractive for investments due to their remoteness from the Capital and big industrial centers. The GDP is lower than national GDP and unemployment rate is higher. Despite the above negative facts the cross border regions are rich of natural resources. The area around river basin of Nisava, Erma and Struma as well as Vlasina Lake and Pchelina artificial lake is water rich and with beautiful nature. The most suitable economic sectors for development in these regions are: tourism, light industry and renewable energy. The current project is aimed to boost any small hydro power projects in the region and especially those for hydraulic screw drive power developments...
The project and the partnership are structured in a way to address in the most effective and efficient way the indicated needs. Involvement of expert organizations as partners guarantees focused and solution oriented approach while the involvement of direct beneficiaries from 11 municipalities in CBR ensures sustainability of the project results. The foreseen biomass potential assessments (AT2,3) and subsequent bilingual study “Biomass Potentials in CB Region” and biomass maps (AT4) will provide real, terrain data about biomass potentials in Pilot areas. Two planned trainings (AT6 and 7) will be directed to two main targeted groups: I/1-3 from 3.4 in AF and II/4-5 from 3.4 in AF...
Concerning all mentioned issues above, with overall aim to strengthen territorial cohesion of the CB region, project proposal contains activities which are designed to link and network CB region on institutional and educational level, exchange experience and jointly increase economic syner.
