Director Čađenović said that CEDIS bases its successful operations on the knowledge, experience and expertise of electrical engineers, and that cooperation with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the University of Montenegro is very important for the further development of CEDIS and the energy sector in Montenegro.
“As this educational and scientific research institution produces the best energy-sector professionals, who are competitive in the international labour market, and our company, as an employer, strives to have the best engineers on its team, whose innovation will contribute to the development of the distribution system, we wish to intensify cooperation with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at all levels for our mutual benefit,” he said.
Dean Mujović said that future activities with the company would create an opportunity to provide scholarships to students, giving them, in addition to the education they receive at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, an additional chance to become outstanding professionals who are competitive in the international market.
