Jelena Beloica was born on February 29, 1980, in Kraljevo. She graduated Faculty of Forestry in Belgrade in 2005, Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture. In 2008. she enrolled in PhD studies at the Faculty of Forestry, department Ecological Engineering in the Protection of Soil and Water Resources. In 2015. she defended her PhD thesis: “The process of acidification as a factor of land degradation in eastern Serbia” and received a scientific title of doctor of biotechnical sciences.

As a beneficiary of the Ministry of Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia, since 2007 she has been engaged in several scientific projects of the Faculty of Forestry: “Basic Structural and Production Characteristics of Forest Types in the Kopaonik National Park and the Tara National Park”, “Bioecological Characteristics of Forest Ecosystems in the Kopaonik National Park and the Tara National Park in relation to the principle of sustainable management” and “Research on Climate Change and their Impact on the Environment: Monitoring of Impact, Adaptation, and Mitigation”.
In 2014 she received scholarship of the multidisciplinary program for education ‘Sciences for DIPLOMAzia’ founded by The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation-DGSC MAE. She attended 6-month course (May 2014- November 2014) “Management and Usage of agri-food resources with the aim of fostering sustainable agriculture and forestry as well as reduction of the effects of climate changes”, in Institute for Sustainable Plant Protection, National Research Council – IPSP CNR, Florence.

Since 2011, she is employed at the Faculty of Forestry University of Belgrade.
