The Committee for th Acreditation of Scientific Research Organisations of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia, by its Decision No. 660-01-00012/30 of 23 February 2016, accredited the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade as a state faculty in the field of technical and technological sciences- mechanical engineering, for the performance of scientific research activities.

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, with more than 200 permanently employed teaching staff and associates and more 60 research associates engaged in national and international projects, represents one of the largest teaching, research and development potentials in Serbia. The Faculty conducts scientific research activities in accordance with the needs and requirements of industry and with the aim of developing professional and scientific disciplines in mechanical engineering. As an educational institution, it is engaged in the development of highly qualified professional stuff, and within projects involving the improvement and analysis of existing techonlogies it includes young researchers in scientific research projects. Within the framework of scientific research activities, independently or in cooperation with other scientific and professional organisations, the Faculty conducts basic, applied, developmental and scientific research in the following fields: production engineering and computer applications; mechanisation (transport, construction and mining machinery), agricultural engineering; engines; motor vehicles and trailers (transport, working and special vehicles); efficiency of mechanical systems; thermal engineering; thermomechanics; thermal power engineering; hydropower engineering; railway engineering; shipbuliding; aeronautics; military engineering; process engineering; automatic control; factory and plant design; storage, transport and process systems; industrial engineering; bioengineering; food engineering; applied fluid mechanics; theory of mechanisms and machines; general mechanical design; strength of structures; structural analysis, combustion; applied theory of elasticity; propulsion materials; mechanical materials; welding; machine elements and structures; applied mathematics; physics; electrical engineering; automatic data processing; work organisation; and environmental protection.

Most departments and centres of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering direct thier research towards research projects financed by ministries or international institutions (ЕUREKA, ТЕМPUS, FP6, FP7, IPA), which has also initiated active international cooperation. Cooperation with industry remains one of the main sources of financing for development and applied research.

The Centre for Lifelong Learning was established in 205. The vision of the Centre is to provide, in one place, all educational activities of importance for industry and thereby become a leader in business education in the field of technical and technological sciences in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The mission of the Centre includes providing professional support to institutions, companies and organisations inacquiring new knowledge, techniques and skills, enabling them to properly address the problems and challenges they encounter in their business activities.

The goal of the Centre is, throughspecialized courses, seminars and other forms of education, to enable participants to acquire in an optimal way the additional knowledge necessary for the performance of everyday professional activities. The target groups of the Centre are engineers of all profiles and levels of education, licensed engineers of technical professions, and students of technical faculties.
