ACT - The American College of Thessaloniki has signed cooperative agreements with the Faculty of Political Sciences at the University of Belgrade and the Institute of International Politics and Economics (IIPE) in Belgrade.

The agreements establish a connection between ACT and the two Serbian institutions by enabling faculty and student exchanges, joint research activities, special short-term academic programs, professional development programs, and collaborations in other areas of mutual interest.

“We are delighted with those two new collaborations since they underline our institution’s long historical ties with the people and the institutions of Serbia,” stated Dr. Stamos Karamouzis, ACT Provost. On their part, the Faculty of Political Sciences stated that they are “looking forward to future cooperation” with ACT while the IIPE Deputy Director for Research, Dr. Srđan Korać, noted that “now has come the moment to start conceiving possible avenues of our cooperation”.

The University of Belgrade – Faculty of Political Sciences was established in 1968 and since then it has been a leading institution of higher education focusing on education and research in the areas of political science, international relations, journalism and communication studies, social policy and social work.

The Institute of International Politics and Economics in Belgrade is one of the oldest research institutes in Southeastern Europe in the field of research on international relations. Founded in 1947, the Institute has gradually turned into a leading research organization of its kind and since its establishment, international co-operation is an important part of its activities.
