Professor Dr Dragica Minić was born in a family of an Orthodox priest, in the wonderful town of Brus at the foot of the Kopaonik mountain area. There she received her elementary as well as high school education and Christian upbringing. She began her career as a professor of science at Brus Gymnasium and continued at the Belgrade University, Faculty for Physical Chemistry, having passed all titles from assistant to full professor, lecturing

different courses in physical chemistry. During the rich pedagogical work, she has mentored more than hundred graduates, around thirty master and twenty PhD students. She has published more than 160 scientific papers and has taken part in more than 200 national and international scientific conferences. She has written several university books, chapters in scientific editions of international significance, and scientific monographs. She has continued to work actively in science even after retirement in 2016.

Dr. Milica Vasić is a research associate at Belgrade University. She was born in Belgrade, Serbia, where she received elementary education and a university diploma. She acquired additional skills in material science by attending training courses in Serbia and abroad, and she received several acknowledgements for achievements during her education. She completed her PhD degree in Physical Chemistry at Belgrade University, where she has

been employed since 2011. Her research work is in the field of physical chemistry of materials and it is mainly focused on thermal stability, mechanism, and kinetics of thermally induced structural transformations in amorphous alloys. Beside the research activities, she regularly takes part in activities aimed to promote science.
