International and regional cooperation is fundamental for development and delivery of the main goal and objectives of CAPRIS UKIM of fostering and promotion better and innovative scientific research and innovation. The added value of the foundation of CAPRIS UKIM is the capacity building of the scientific community in the region of South Easter Europe that since the early years of the societal transition in 1990’s has been severely underfunded, understaffed, lacking the basic research infrastructure and political support and with the very limited ability to network among the regional academic and research centers and centers beyond the region.
International and regional cooperation in science and research in the region of SEE is high on the agenda of CAPRIS UKIM as a part of the broader network of Centers of Advanced Studies in the academic and research centers in all major cities in the region facilitated by the CAS SEE at the University of Rijeka in Croatia and including similar centers at University of Belgrade, University of Montenegro, University of Sarajevo and others. CAPRIS UKIM will also foster a creative cooperation with partners from broader scientific community in Europe, with Foundations like Transform Transport from Milan and partners from IT industry like Intelligent Network Solutions.
Regional partner of CAPRIS UKIM is Center of Advanced Studies at University of Rijeka in Croatia
