Research Activities

The Faculty in various ways encourages scientific research with the aim of enhancing the quality of lectures; it allocates substantial funding and also has a strong portfolio of externally-funded research. The Faculty also hosts academics and post-graduate students from abroad. The scientific and research work at the Faculty has a multi-disciplinary orientation, so that legal phenomena are observed through a wide range of approaches from various social sciences.

For many years the Faculty of Law had been running the project Establishing the Rule of Law in Serbia, funded by the Serbian Ministry of Science and Technology. Numerous publications were published in the course of this project, including more than forty books during the last five years only. In 2005 the Faculty started receiving a grant for two new five-year projects: Crime in Serbia and Legal Means of Reaction and Legal Capacity of Serbia for European Integration, financed by the Ministry of Science and Environment Protection of the Republic of Serbia.

The Faculty autonomously finances the project Development of the Serbian legal system and its harmonization with the European Union legislation (legal, economical, political and sociological aspects), with a considerable number of articles and other contributions by the faculty. The Faculty is also involved in special projects conducted for the needs of other institutions.
