Centar za strateško ekonomska istraživanja "Vojvodina-CESS" osnovan je 2004. godine od strane Izvršnog veća AP Vojvodine i Univerziteta u Novom Sadu, kao jedan od 14 prioritetnih programa definisanih srednjoročnim Programom privrednog razvoja AP Vojvodine. Od 2007. godine CESS je podržan od strane Austrijske agencije za razvoj - ADA. Kao think-tank organizacija koja se bavi unapređenjem procesa planiranja regionalnog razvoja, CESS je orijentisan ka primenjenim ekonomskim istraživanjima. Budući da je osnivač Univerzitet u Novom Sadu, preko CESS-a se fokus istraživanja pomera od fundamentalnih ka istraživanjima koja su vođena tražnjom i potrebama, kako privrede tako i državne uprave. Pored Vlade Vojvodine kao najvažnijeg klijenta, CESS tesno sarađuje sa lokalnim samoupravama u Vojvodini, kao i sa predstavnicima biznis zajednice.
Vlada Vojvodine raspolaže instrumentima politike koje imaju kratkoročne, ali i srednjoročne i dugoročne efekte, a regionalni razvoj je svakako najvažniji zadatak regionalne vlade. U tom kontekstu, potrebno je povezati krajnje ciljeve i sredstva, željene ciljeve i resurse, ciljne tačke i instrumente, da bi se donele odluke o najpovoljnijem načinu korišćenja instrumenata i da bi se osiguralo da stvarni efekti odgovaraju željenim i planiranim i da ih je zaista moguće ostvariti. Upravo sa tim ciljem nastala je potreba za strateškim istraživanjem i konsaltingom kojim bi se pružale preporuke za vođenje politika u oblasti regionalnog razvoja, što je imalo za rezultat osnivanje CESS-a od strane Vlade Vojvodine.
U Vojvodini trenutno ne postoji institut za ekonomska istraživanja, dok Ekonomski fakultet Univerziteta u Novom Sadu nema odeljenje za primenjena ekonomska istraživanja. CESS je zadužen upravo za ispunjavanje ove praznine, za zadovoljavanje sve izraženije potrebe za ovakvim vidom stručnog znanja. Pored svojih glavnih aktivnosti, interesovanje CESS-a u oblasti istraživanja izlazi iz granica Srbije i obuhvata susedne zemlje i Evropsku uniju, sa fokusom na pitanja u vezi sa proširenjem Evropske unije i ulogom regiona u njoj. Kroz saradnju sa drugim institutima iz EU i susednih zemalja, CESS teži da postane prepoznatljiv partner na evropskom nivou u oblasti regionalnog ekonomskog razvoja.
Centre for Strategic Economic Studies "Vojvodina-CESS" was founded in year 2004 by the Executive Council of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and the University of Novi Sad, as one of 14 priority programs defined by the Integrated Regional Development Plan of the AP Vojvodina. Since 2007 CESS is supported by the Austrian Development Agency - ADA. As a think-tank organization dedicated to improving the planning of regional development, CESS is oriented toward applied economic research. As one of the founders is the University of Novi Sad, CESS is intrument used for shifting the focus of research from fundamental research to one that is guided by demand and needs, both of business and public administration. Aside from cooperating with the Government of the AP Vojvodina as the most important client, CESS is working closely with local governments in Vojvodina, as well as with representatives of business community.
The Government of the AP Vojvodina has policy instruments that have a short-term but also medium and long term effects, and regional development is certainly the most important task of the regional government. In this context, it is necessary to connect the ultimate goals and means, the desired objectives and resources, the target point and instruments, to make a decision on the best way of using instruments and to ensure that the actual effects correspond to desired and planned, and that they are are possible to achieve. It is precisely for this purpose that there is a need for strategic research and consulting, which would provide recommendations for policies regarding regional development and which resulted in the establishment of CESS.
In Vojvodina, there is currently no institute for economic research and Faculty of Economics, University of Novi Sad, has no department of applied economic research. CESS is in charge to fill this gap, to meet the increasingly evident need for this kind of expertise. In addition to its main activities, CESS interests in research goes out of the borders of Serbia and includes the neighboring countries and the European Union, with a focus on issues related to enlargement of the European Union and the role of regions in it. Through cooperation with other institutes from the EU and neighboring countries, CESS aims to become a recognized partner at European level in the field of regional economic development.
