Our colleague Marija Mitrović Dankulov was awarded a 12-month scholarship by the Joint Japan-Serbia Center for the Promotion of Science and Technology of the University of Belgrade. The aim of this scholarship is to promote excellence in science by recognizing the potential of outstanding junior researchers. The research position is funded from a grant provided by the ITO Foundation for International Education Exchange from Tokyo. The ITO Foundation was established to fulfill the wish of the late Master Shinjo Ito to support young people with Integrity, Talent, and Originality (ITO).
