Every donation, no matter the amount, can make a huge difference. Thank you for your compassion and support during this challenging time for our community. Together, we can help those who need it most. Sincerely, Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation

📢Poziv na Okrugli Stol: Stvaranje Uslova za Povratak Mladih Obrazovanih Kadrova i Doktora Nauka u BiH U subotu, 26. oktobra 2024., Kajs Hadžić pridružit će se kolegama i stručnjacima na okruglom stolu organizovanom od strane Akademije nauka i umjetnosti BiH, kako bi razgovarali o povratku mladih obrazovanih kadrova i doktora nauka u domovinu. ❗️Cilj okruglog stola: Kreirati održive strategije za povratak stručnjaka, na osnovu saradnje između akademske zajednice, industrije i vlade. 🔵🟡 Mi vjerujemo u povezivanje mladih profesionalaca iz dijaspore sa inovativnim prilikama u Bosni i Hercegovini, čime možemo unaprijediti našu zemlju. 🔵🟡 Naša fondacija već dugi niz godina aktivno podržava naučno-istraživački rad kroz razne aktivnosti. Primjeri su takmičenje 3MT (3 Minute Thesis), koje omogućava mladim istraživačima da svoje kompleksne projekte pretvore u jasne i sažete prezentacije, kao i prestižna Nagrada Vera Šnajder, koja prepoznaje izvanredne mlade istraživače. Pored toga, kroz VSRC (Virtual School of Research Communication) pružamo online treninge koji mladima pomažu da poboljšaju svoje prezentacijske vještine i efikasno komuniciraju rezultate svojih istraživanja. Ove inicijative doprinose jačanju naučne zajednice u Bosni i Hercegovini i šire. 🖇️Pozivamo vas da se pridružite našoj LinkedIn grupi posvećenoj istraživačima: https://lnkd.in/duFtiB82 📅 Datum: 26. oktobar 2024. 🕘 Vrijeme: 9:00–13:00 sati 📍 Lokacija: Akademija nauka i umjetnosti BiH 💻 ili online putem Zoom linka: https://lnkd.in/d4pTxBiQ ❗️Glavne teme: ▫️Stanje i izazovi odlaska mladih obrazovanih stručnjaka u inostranstvo. ▫️Predlaganje konkretnih mjera za povratak doktora nauka i mladih stručnjaka u Bosnu i Hercegovinu. ▫️Kako sinergija između akademske zajednice, industrije i vlade može stvoriti povoljnije uslove za povratak. 🔵🟡 Mi vidimo ovu diskusiju kao ključnu za razvoj novih inicijativa koje podržavaju obrazovane mlade ljude u povratku i doprinosu svojoj zemlji. Pridružite nam se i budite dio promjena koje gradimo zajedno! Akademija nauka i umjetnosti Bosne i Hercegovine (ANUBiH)
