MDPI Serbia
First editorial team in Serbia
Our journey began in 2016, when a small, ambitious group of editors set off for China to attend their first editorial training at MDPI’s headquarters—marking the start of our incredible growth story.
Our first office in Zvezdara
In 2016, we took our first big step by opening MDPI Serbia’s very first office in the Science and Technology Park, Belgrade. For nearly a decade, our Zvezdara office served as our headquarters and the hub for our IT department, driving innovation and growth until 2025.
Novi Sad office
With the success of our first Belgrade office, we expanded our presence by opening a new office in Novi Sad in July 2019, bringing MDPI closer to even more talented professionals.
Growth during pandemic
Our rapid growth continued in 2020, as our team expanded, reaching the 500-employee milestone. Despite the challenges of remote work, our assistant editors successfully onboarded new colleagues, ensuring a smooth transition into our growing team.
Novi Beograd office
Over the years, MDPI Serbia has grown into one of the largest MDPI offices in Europe. To support our rapid expansion—both locally and globally—we opened our third Serbian office in Novi Beograd, further strengthening our presence.
Back to the office
In 2021, we rediscovered the value of in-person collaboration and the energy of working side by side. With that in mind, we began gradually returning to the office, reconnecting and rebuilding our workplace culture.
Our first post-pandemic team building
After a long period of remote work, June 2022 marked a special moment—our entire team came together at Ada Ciganlija for a day of fun, connection, and celebration in a relaxed, outdoor setting.
United Novi Beograd office
In late 2022, we brought our Belgrade teams together under one roof by moving to a new, modern office in Novi Beograd—creating a shared space for better collaboration, connection, and teamwork.
A grand New Year’s celebration
We ended the year in style with a magnificent New Year’s celebration at Hotel Metropol in Belgrade. Over 500 enthusiastic colleagues came together to celebrate our achievements and toast to many more successful years ahead.
Celebrating first CiteScores
June 2023 was a milestone moment as our managing editors celebrated their journals' first CiteScores! As CiteScores are a key indicator of a journal’s academic impact and quality, this came as a well-deserved recognition of hard work and dedication. Congratulations to all involved!
Employee of the year awards
As 2024 came to a close, we recognized and celebrated our top-performing employees at a special award ceremony. Held in a warm, pre-holiday atmosphere, the event honored their dedication and outstanding contributions.
Inaugural MDPI Serbia Salon
MDPI Serbia hosted its first-ever MDPI Serbia Salon, bringing together researchers, editors, and industry professionals to explore the future of academic publishing and open-access research. Held at Sava Centar in Belgrade, the event sparked insightful discussions, knowledge sharing, and valuable networking opportunities, further strengthening MDPI Serbia’s commitment to the scientific community.
What's next?
As we look ahead, we remain committed to innovation, collaboration, and excellence. Stay tuned for what’s next!
