Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade is a leading institution in Belgrade specializing in electrical engineering, computer science, and information technology that traces institutional roots through postwar reconstruction and European technical education networks. The faculty contributes to national industrial projects, regional research initiatives, and international programs linking to institutions across Europe, North America, and Asia while hosting conferences and participating in standardization bodies.
Founded in the aftermath of World War II during the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia era, the faculty developed curricula and laboratories aligned with industrialization policies and reconstruction plans connected to ministries and state enterprises in Belgrade and the wider region. Over decades it interacted with institutions such as the University of Belgrade, collaborated on projects with companies from the Eastern Bloc, engaged in exchanges with universities in Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Cambridge, and participated in international events like the IEEE conferences and regional meetings organized by associations linked to the EESTEC network. During the transition of the 1990s the faculty adapted programs in response to international sanctions, post-socialist economic reforms, and integration efforts toward the European Higher Education Area, aligning with Bologna Process instruments and bilateral agreements with universities in Vienna, Zagreb, Ljubljana, and Tirana.
The faculty is an organizational unit within the University of Belgrade governed by a dean, academic council, and administrative boards; it interfaces with municipal authorities of Belgrade and national bodies such as ministries responsible for science and technological development. Departments encompass divisions that mirror professional societies and standards organizations including affiliations with IEEE, IFIP, and regional consortia collaborating with research institutes like the Ruđer Bošković Institute and technology parks in Novi Sad. Leadership has engaged internationally with rectors' conferences and accreditation agencies from London, Brussels, Stockholm, and Rome.
The faculty offers undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral programs in areas that align with professional qualifications recognized through agreements with universities in Berlin, Prague, Budapest, and Kraków. Degree tracks include specializations linked historically to industrial projects with companies analogous to Siemens, Philips, IBM, and partnerships resembling collaborations with national telecommunications operators and energy utilities. Curriculum modernization incorporated credit transfer systems used by networks connected to Bologna Process signatories and student mobility frameworks with institutions in Paris, Madrid, Rotterdam, and Zurich.
Research activities span power systems, electronics, telecommunications, signal processing, robotics, control systems, and computer engineering, with laboratories modeled on facilities seen at MIT, ETH Zurich, Imperial College London, and prominent European research centers. Laboratories collaborate on funded projects with agencies and consortia similar to Horizon 2020, COST, and bilateral grants involving partners from Geneva, Stockholm, Helsinki, Istanbul, and Beijing. Experimental platforms host equipment standards comparable to those in labs at Tsukuba, Seville, and Dublin, and coordinate doctoral training schools that attract candidates linked to institutes such as the Max Planck Society and national academies in Belgrade and Zagreb.
Faculty members and alumni have participated in professional associations, academies of sciences, and industry leadership roles analogous to positions in the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, national ministries, and multinational firms headquartered in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, and New York City. Graduates hold academic posts across universities including those in Vienna, Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Skopje, and Podgorica and have contributed to standards bodies, patents, and startups that mirror examples from Silicon Valley, Cambridge (UK), and Tel Aviv ecosystems. Distinguished researchers published in journals associated with publishers in Oxford, Elsevier, and professional societies such as the IEEE Communications Society.
Located in an urban campus in Belgrade, the faculty occupies buildings that host lecture halls, computing centers, specialized laboratories, and exhibition spaces used for career fairs in collaboration with employers from Serbia and international corporations with regional offices in Vienna, Munich, and Ljubljana. Student organizations maintain ties with regional student unions and technical societies, organizing events similar to career days, hackathons, and symposiums that mirror activities at universities in Zagreb, Prague, and Bucharest.
The faculty maintains collaborations and formal partnerships with universities, research institutes, and industry partners across Europe and beyond, engaging in joint projects and exchange programs with entities in Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Athens, Sofia, Budapest, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Vienna, Moscow, Beijing, Seoul, Boston, and San Francisco. Participation in multinational consortia and networks fosters knowledge transfer with partners such as regional innovation hubs, technology parks, and professional associations akin to those headquartered in Geneva and Zurich.
