The Network of Academic Solidarity and Engagement (MASA) organizes a forum on the occasion of the presentation of research that aims to guide us to norms, practices and shortcomings of promotion to higher positions at universities in the Republic of Serbia. The analysis includes the legal framework of educational advancement, the practice of selection for a title investigated through the (un)available reports of the commissions of individual universities, while the final word, which opens up new questions, is given to the members of the academic community itself, since we conclude the research with a conversation with the vice-deans of all three state universities .
How to arrange the rules in order to prevent nepotism and discrimination during the selection of positions? How to reduce the possibility of the influence of personal relationships at the faculties, and promote the independence of the commission in the direction of greater objectivity in decision-making? In what way is it possible to increase the responsibility of committee members for checking facts and data in reports?
These are just some of the issues that we will discuss at the forum that will be held in Wednesday, October 21, starting at 12:00 in the small hall of the Media Center in Terazije.
