Scientific-research work at the Faculty of Economics is implemented through the Center for Economic Research. Our intention is to model the scientific-research work at the Faculty on the developed, educational, scientific and research setting of the surrounding countries as well as the EU member countries. Individual work of each teacher and associate gives contribution to the work of the Center, i.e. development of scientific-research work of the Faculty itself.

One of the main work objectives of the Center in the following period is making the scientific-research work more intense, organized and broader and thus satisfying one of the conditions for the verification of the Faculty as a scientific institution. Also, the development of a new scientific-research generation of the Faculty, i.e. students of graduate as well as undergraduate studies and their ivolvement into the process as main drivers remain the basic objectives of the Center’s research work.
