International relations of SMEITS
The cooperation contracts signed between SMEITS and the Hungarian and Polish organizations provided regular group visits and participation of one country’s experts in the professional meetings of the other country; mutual visits of official representatives from the national union every year in Belgrade, Budapest and Warsaw; exchange of publications, technical papers and books; visits to large industrial facilities in all three countries; experts from one country visited and participated in symposiums and seminars held in the other country, etc. During the 1960s, the relations between SMEITS and organizations and technical staffs in Hungary and Poland were regular and increasingly improved, but at the beginning of 1970s they became weaker, although they never stopped. The relations became weaker due to democratization in the Eastern Block countries, with their opening to the world and expanding their contacts with the countries behind the “Iron Curtain”. However, only at the beginning of 1970s, the newly established Serbian HVAC&R Society within SMEITS, introduced in its programme contacts with the developed countries for the purpose of advancement of the thermal engineering, which comprised many disciplines of mechanical engineering. Since 1972, on its regular HVAC&R congresses held in December, the Society has had dozens of participants and authors from the western countries from whom we have had a lot of things to learn: the USA, Germany, France, the UK and others. In the first half of the 1970s, the representatives of the Serbian HVAC&R Society, which has been a part of SMEITS since its establishment, signed the cooperation contracts with similar organizations in Europe and the USA and joined the international organizations. SMEITS became a full-time member of REHVA (Federation of European Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) , a joining member of ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers), IIR (International Institute of Refrigeration), an international organization with the seat in Paris (the Serbian delegation was a co-founder of this organization in 1908) and other. At the time of the 140th anniversary of the engineering organizations in Serbia, SMEITS may summarize its international relations as follows:
At the end of this short review of the professional relations of SMEITS with mechanical and electrical engineers and technicians from foreign countries, we may say that our colleague become increasingly familiar with scientific and professional accomplishments and advancements. The world of science and engineering goes beyond the state, linguistic and ideological boundaries and we are approaching this world using every possible opportunity to learn the results that lead to the progress and to master the skills conditioned by such progress. |

THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASHRAE DANUBE CHAPTER (2010) The annual meeting of the ASHRAE Danube Chapter was held in Timisoara on 16th April 2010 within the 19th conference of AIIR (Romanian Association of Installation Engineers). In the working session of the meeting, 9 papers were presented by students and a lecture was given by Mr. Drury Crawley, an ASHRAE distinguished lecturerer, on energy efficient buildings. After the report on the Danube Chapter activities in the previous period, which was submitted by the present President of the Danube Chapter, Prof. Robert Gavriliuc (Romania), the officials of the ASHRAE Danube Chapter were elected for the following term of office (2010/2011): President: Bratislav Blagojević (Serbia); |
