A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed with the renowned Swiss publisher MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute), granting a 10% discount on publication fees for scientific papers in any journal under the publisher’s umbrella to colleagues from all 11 faculties within the University Business Academy in Novi Sad.

The agreement was signed by Prof. Dr. Nikola Puvača, Vice Dean for International Cooperation at the Faculty of Economics and Engineering Management (FIMEK) in Novi Sad. MDPI is globally recognized for its support of open access and high standards in scientific publishing. Thanks to the initiative of Prof. Dr. Nikola Puvača, professors and researchers at the University Business Academy now have additional support that will contribute to their scientific work and enhance their visibility on the global academic scene.

“Writing scientific papers is not just about academic development, but also an opportunity to use our research to improve society as a whole. This agreement with MDPI provides extra support on that journey. I believe that each of us has ideas and results worth sharing with the world, and now we have one more reason to make that happen. Be brave in your research and believe in the power of science to change the world for the better. It is our shared responsibility to make the University of Business Academy synonymous with quality and innovation”, said Prof. Dr. Nikola Puvača.

This step is another confirmation of FIMEK’s and the University Business Academy’s commitment to improving conditions for scientific research and promoting their faculty and researchers on the international stage.
