4. Now, FINS is widely recognized as the leader in food technology in WBC. In some areas we attained European standards and we are ready to fulfill stringent demands indicated in new FP7 and other EC calls. FINS is ready to participate and assist in successful integration of Serbia, other West Balkan Countries and the whole region into the ERA. Agrofood sector is one of seven national R&D priorities defined in “Scientific and Technological Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia 2009 to 2014” and FINS is marked as the leading institution in food research area, which will be supported in future programs of development. We intend to transfer research results into technologies suitable for the improvement of agrofood production processes on local and regional level We expect that this project will bring: benefits to the partners themselves benefits to the regions encouraging innovation and competitiveness in the sector of agriculture AP4INNO, Kick-off meeting Pecs, Hungary 24th-25th October 2012
