After intensive six-month practices at partner institutions’ project management offices and external trainings, a Decision to form a Research Management Team at IORS was issued on March 08, 2023, that would serve as a prototype for the future IORS Research Management Office. The Team consists of project Management staff Dr Milena Čavić, Dr Ana Đurić and Dr Marko Radulović, the Head of IORS Scientific Department Dr Radmila Janković, Heads of IORS Procurement, Legal and Financial Departments and representatives of laboratory technical staff. The Team will liaise project activities between the IORS research team and the local legal, administrative, procurement and human resources IORS staff to enable a more effective project flow. The Team will also perform risk mitigation continuously during the project and strive to coordinate future intellectual property applications at the national and international level.
