They were warmly welcomed by the ED/SSCS Serbia and Montenegro Chapter and IEEE Student Branch Niš\, which organized a rich and engaging progra m for the occasion. The visit began with guided tours of several laborator ies at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering\, University of Niš. The stu dents were divided into three groups\, allowing each group to visit all th ree laboratories: Laboratory for Microelectronics and Electronic Devices\, Laboratory for Robotics\, Laboratory for Microgrids and Smart Grids. Foll owing the lab tours\, a presentation session was held. Prof. Jelena Nikoli ć introduced the EU-funded project AIDA4Edge. This was followed by the IE EE SSCS INSPIRE lecture\, delivered by Alex Metreveli\, titled “Electron ics at the Limit: Designing Devices for the Harshest Environments.” In h is talk\, Metreveli explored current challenges and innovative solutions f or designing electronics that can operate under extreme conditions such as high radiation\, temperature extremes\, and corrosive environments. Speci al focus was placed on wide-bandgap materials like Silicon Carbide (SiC) a nd Diamond\, and their applications in space\, nuclear\, and other critica l domains. Alex Metreveli is a PhD candidate at KTH Royal Institute of Tec hnology\, Sweden. His research centers on radiation-hard electronics for s pace and nuclear applications\, with experience spanning from device model ing to radiation testing using particle accelerators. The session conclude d with an overview of IEEE Serbia and Montenegro Section activities\, pres ented by Prof. Zlatica Marinković (Vice Chair) and Prof. Biljana Stošić (Treasurer). Among other topics\, the students were introduced to the IEE E Students Project Conference IEEESTEC\, as well as the Women in Engineeri ng (WIE) initiatives\, which sparked significant interest. In addition to the organized program\, the Greek students also had the opportunity to att end sessions of the 34th IEEE International Conference on Microelectronics – MIEL\, gaining further insights into current research trends and deve lopments in the field of microelectronics. Later in the day\, the group vi sited the Science and Technology Park Niš\, where they toured the electro nics museum showcasing products once manufactured by the historic Electron ic Industry Niš. The day concluded with a joint dinner with the participa nts of the MIEL conference\, promoting further networking and cultural exc hange. As part of their broader educational journey\, the students also vi sited AIS TE-TO Pančevo and the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences. Thi s visit was a valuable opportunity for academic and cultural exchange\, pr omoting international collaboration and giving students a deeper insight i nto Serbia’s academic\, technological\, and industrial landscape.\n\n[A group of people standing in a room\n\nAI-generated content may be incorrec t.][A group of people in a room\n\nAI-generated content may be incorrect.] [A person sitting at a table in a room with two people\n\nAI-generated c ontent may be incorrect.]\n\n[A group of people holding banners\n\nAI-gene rated content may be incorrect.] [A person in a black jacket\n\nAI-generat ed content may be incorrect.]\n\nAleksandra Medvedeva 4\, Nis\, Serbia & M ontenegro\, Serbia & Montenegro\, 18000 LOCATION:Aleksandra Medvedeva 4\, Nis\, Serbia & Montenegro\, Serbia & Mont enegro\, 18000 ORGANIZER:danijel.dankovic@elfak.ni.ac.rs SEQUENCE:6 SUMMARY:Students from IEEE SB Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Visit Se rbia on Educational Tour URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/512572 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justi fy\;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">As part of an educational tour through Serbia\, a group of 29 students accompanied by th eir professor Ioannis Kaissas\, from the Aristotle University of Thessalon iki\, Greece\, visited Ni&scaron\; on Tuesday\, October 14.
