BioSens, a research and development institute for information technologies of biosystems, was founded in 2015 and is a pioneer in the digital transformation of agriculture in Serbia. Investigating the scientific and technological boundaries of the innovative application of IT in agriculture, the Institute strives to provide the Serbian, as well as the global agricultural sector, with superior digital solutions in order to achieve higher yields with less investment.
Materials science, micro and nano electronics, sensor design, remote sensing, Internet of things (Internet of things), artificial intelligence, biosystem research, cellular agriculture, bioarchaeology are just some of the scientific fields that the Institute integrates to make agriculture more efficient and science to encourage economic development, social improvement and employment.
Thanks to its comprehensive and transdisciplinary approach, the Institute leaves an indelible mark on the international scientific community. This is certainly confirmed by 30 national projects and around 50 international ones (most of which are from the European Union's program for research and innovation - Horizon 2020), as well as numerous national and international awards for the Institute's researchers. The most prominent project, ANTARES (H2020), supported by the European Commission and the Republic of Serbia, will turn BioSens into a leading Center of Excellence for Sustainable Agriculture.
