BioSense Institute

BioSense Institute has been founded to focus multidisciplinary, game-changing and needs-driven research and disseminate it to a global ecosystem of forward-looking stakeholders. BioSense cross-fertilizes two most promising sectors in Serbia: ICT and agriculture. Multidisciplinary research is performed in the fields of micro and nanoelectronics, communications, signal processing, remote sensing, big data, robotics and biosystems, with a common goal to support the development of sustainable agriculture and create a positive impact to the lives of people. Apart from its research excellence, BioSense is recognized for its emphasis on the generation of open innovations, aiming to engage the region strategically in the path of economic growth. Our approach to research directly involves all relevant stakeholders – agricultural community, government bodies, business sector and citizens. We work together with various actors to co-create the future and drive structural changes in the agrifood sector far beyond the scope of what any organization or person could do alone. Given the diversity of the agrifood ecosystem, BioSense promotes across the entire value chain principles of integrated collaboration, co-created shared value, cultivated innovation ecosystems, unleashed exponential technologies, and extraordinarily rapid adoption of advanced ICT technologies by traditional sectors such as farming and food production. We believe that innovation can be a discipline practiced by many, rather than an art mastered by few. And that's where we focus our research.
