Schneider invests in Serbia’s IT

Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, signed a Cooperation Agreement with the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade, to provide support during studies for the most talented students. This agreement was signed during an official visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Serbia.

Schneider Electric’s scholarships will provide a significant contribution to gaining practical knowledge, as well as financial assistance during studies. Work on various projects and potential recruitment by SEDMS NS after graduation are additional advantages of the scholarship program. At all educational levels, students have the support of experts, and an opportunity to participate in workshops and internal company training. They will be able to improve their knowledge and skills to build their future career. Schneider Electric will also enable all scholarship beneficiaries to work on the best equipment and development of the most leading-edge software, with a constant mentorship program.

"The most important investment is in the education of future generations. We must always bear in mind that only people with high-quality education will lead the world. Schneider Electric is recognized worldwide for its commitments and programs for education and training, as well as for improving great places to work. This is the foundation of the initiative for scholarships for the best students of technical sciences in Serbia," noted Frederic Abbal, member of the Executive Committee of Schneider Electric after signing the Agreement.

SEDMS NS is a center of excellence that develops ADMS thanks to more than 800 engineers, recruited mainly from the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad. The Faculty Dean, Rade Doroslovački, said that successful cooperation between the Faculty and Schneider Electric lasted for years already, resulting in Novi Sad international recognition in the IT sector. Doroslovački reminded that FTS is the largest educational institution of its kind in the region.
