What Fakultet tehničkih nauka Univerziteta u Novom Sadu does

Fakultet tehničkih nauka Univerziteta u Novom Sadu is a public academic institution: specifically, the Departman za energetiku i procesnu tehniku (Department of Energy and Process Engineering, branded DEPT) within the Faculty of Technical Sciences at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia. The department operates three chairs — Katedra za toplotnu tehniku (Thermal Engineering), Katedra za procesnu tehniku (Process Engineering), and Katedra za mehaniku fluida i hidropneumatske sisteme (Fluid Mechanics and Hydropneumatic Systems) — delivering accredited undergraduate, master's, and doctoral study programs in Energy and Process Engineering and an interdisciplinary Clean Energy Technologies program.

The department's technical footprint centers on experimental and computational research in thermal engineering, process engineering, fluid mechanics, and clean energy technologies. Students and researchers work with educational licenses for HEXAGON (process engineering and pressure-vessel calculations, provided via NUMIKON d.o.o.) and HERZ PRO Plan 5 (thermal installation design). The department hosts an ASHRAE Student Branch (founded 2009), coordinates a CEEPUS exchange network spanning 30 institutes at 28 universities across 12 countries, and participates in six European COST Actions spanning adaptive facades, smart energy carriers, aerosols, geothermal energy, and nanomaterials. Each year it co-organizes the Međunarodni forum o čistim energetskim tehnologijama (International Forum on Clean Energy Technologies), now in its 18th edition, which also confers 'TOP ENERGY' regional awards.

The department's business model is the standard public-university model. Primary revenue is Serbian government funding allocated through the University of Novi Sad based on enrollment and program accreditation; secondary revenue comes from tuition fees (fee-paying domestic and non-EU international students) and professional services such as energy-efficiency consulting, project development, expert reviews, and training courses delivered to industry and public-sector clients. Industry partnerships dating to 1965 (including NIS, Elektrovojvodina, Viessmann, Weishaupt, and HERZ) primarily serve as recruitment and student-practice pipelines rather than as contracted revenue sources. International exchange operates through CEEPUS and Erasmus, with reciprocal tuition arrangements under bilateral agreements.
