Detailed information in Serbian



ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT

The Institute was founded in 1946, through a merger of two institutes of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (the Institute of Telecommunications and the Institute of Electrical Engineering) and two governmental institutes (the Institute of Electric-Power Industry and the Central Radio-Institute of the Radio Committee of Yugoslavia).

In 1950 the research staff of these institutes was united in the "Nikola Tesla" Institute of Electric Phenomena Testing within the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. In 1959 one of the two departments of that Institute became an autonomous institution - the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications (located in the area of Zvezdara in Belgrade) - today's "Mihajlo Pupin" Institute. In the course of further development, the Automation and Computer laboratories of the Vin~a institute of Nuclear Sciences joined the Institute. In the 1960s the activity of the Institute was extended to the areas of mechanical automation and fluid engineering.

The Institute became a member of the University of Belgrade in 1983.

One of the Institute's associates is a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and also a member of two foreign academies of sciences.

"Mihajlo Pupin" Institute is a collective member of the International Academy of Engineering located in Moscow.
