CERTAIN ISSUES AND CHALLENGES OF SCIENCE AND RESEARCH IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Summary/Abstract: The crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic is probably one of the biggest crises that has affected civilization in the last hundred years. This refers to the number of infected and dead, but also to the economic, psychological, political, moral and other spheres.Science and scientific research during the pandemic was mainly focused on finding ways to prevent and treat the C-19 virus. Within medical science, epidemiology was treated separately during the pandemic, as a branch of medicine, while other sciences were neglected or put in the background, which limited the potentials of medical science in the C-19 pandemic.Analyzes show that a small number of scientific papers and research have focused on non-medical sciences and the place and role of non-medical professions in the fight against C-19, which is illogical, given that a pandemic is not just a medical phenomenon but a multidisciplinary problem that should be answered, with synchronized use of information, economic, organizational management, ethical and other sciences.It is shown that the impact of the pandemic on science and scientific research has not been investigated globally, nor at the level of Serbia, ie whether and to what extent the pandemic has affected the dynamics, aggravating or facilitating conditions for science and scientific research. This paper also discusses the problems of science and scientific cooperation during the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on science, scientific research and cooperation, and cooperation between scientific researchers at the international level.The aim of this paper is to point out some difficulties and obstacles in scientific work and cooperation and to suggest possible solutions.
