Hello! 🙂 My name is Marijana Ševo, I am a scholar of BH Futures Foundation since last year. From 8th to 17th March I participated in Spring Exchange Program in Bulgaria as a part of a project founded by Erasmus+ named: “Supporting Female Youth from BiH and Montenegro in entrepreneurship, employment and leadership in ICT”. I spent 10 days in Bulgaria together with 40 girls and it was a pleasure meeting all those brilliant, empowering and curious human beings with refreshing energy. It's the kind of mindset you want to be around all the time because it insensibly pulls out a better version of yourself. All the people who were part of this event deserve a big thank you for contributing and creating this opportunity.

Momcilo Amovic je proveo 3 mjeseca na profesionalnom usavrsavanju u Australiji. “Zaista mislim da od svih zemalja u kojima sam bio, Australija je ostavila najjači utisak i mislim da možemo da učimo svaki dan od njih kako implementirati demokratiju na pravi način, kako uživati u različitostima i poštovati iste. Potrudiću se da prenesem sva svoja znanja i zapažanja na mlade ljude u Bosni i Hercegovini jer vjerujem kako i mi možemo krenuti tim putem ”

In the following period, most of the Foundation's activities were focused on promoting and issuing the call for scholarship applications for new young scientists, students and talents, among which the best and most valuable ones will have the opportunity to enjoy many benefits that the Foundation offers to its students regularly.

U proteklom periodu, zaključno do 24. marta 2019. godine, većina aktivnosti Fondacije bila je usmjerena na promociji i održavanju raspisanog konkursa za stipendiranje novih mladih naučnika, studenata i talenata, među kojima će oni najbolji i najvrijedniji imati priliku uživati u mnogim beneficijama koje Fondacija nudi svojim studentima redovno.

Poznato je da članovi naše Fondacije često učestvuju na raznim konferencijama koje predstavljaju izvrsnu priliku za njihov profesionalni razvoj i stjecanje neophodnog iskustva.  Upravo jednoj takoj konferenciji, koja je 26. i 27. februara održana u gradu Baden Baden u Njemačkoj na temu biomasa, njihovoj održivosti i značaju za ekonomiju i tržište, prisustvovao je član naše Fondacije, Milan Kusmuk.

It is known that members of our Foundation, whether they are students or Board Members, often participate in various conferences that represent an excellent opportunity for their professional development and gaining the necessary experience. This time, the opportunity to participate at one such conference, which was held on February 26 and 27 in Baden Baden in Germany was given to the member of our Foundation, Milan Kusmuk. The topic of the conference was the concern of the biomass, their sustainability and importance for the economy and market.

U toku procesa razvoja softvera posebna pažnja se posvećuje njegovom kvalitetu. Kvalitet je jedan od ključnih faktora, jer je direktno povezan sa svim oblastima razvoja, a on definiše i kako je softver dizajniran i razvijen. O kvalitetu softvera, načinima testiranja, kao i situaciji u BiH po pitanju QA razgovarali smo sa našom stipendisticom i budućom QA inženjerkom Stojankom Danilović, koja zajedno sa nekoliko prijatelja organizuje meetupe softver testera iz BiH.

During the software development process, special attention is paid to its quality. Quality is one of the key factors, because it is directly related to all areas of development, and it directly defines how the software is designed and developed. About the quality of the software, testing methods, as well as the situation in BiH regarding QA, we talked with our scholar and future QA engineer Stojanka Danilović, who, together with several friends, organizes meetups for software testers from BiH.

Nama najdraži dio ove Akademije je bio Innovation Expo – mini izložba gdje svaki od naših članova predstavlja projekat, naučni rad ili startup na kojem je radio u proteklom periodu.

Our favourite part of this BH Futures Foundation Academy was the Innovation Expo - a small exhibition where each of our members presented a project, scientific work or a startup on which he worked in the past period.

Mi prošli vikend u Mostaru nećemo najviše pamtiti po nezapamćenoj buri u posljednjih nekoliko godina, nego po tome što je protekao u duhu nauke, inovacija, radionica i razmjene iskustava i ideja.

We will not remember last weekend for the biggest wind storm in Mostar in the past couple of years, but for the spirit of science, innovation, workshops, and exchange of experiences and ideas.

On Friday our board members had a strategic planning meeting in Mostar during which they discussed activities and goals for this year, but also which structural changes need to be made in the Foundation in order to work more effectively. The most important change is the establishment of Student and Young Professional Leadership Committee (SYPLC), which aims to scale, diversify and extend future activities of Foundation, giving students and young professionals a unique opportunity to grow and extend their responsibilities.   

Rijad Saric, one of our BH Futures Foundation scholars had the pleasure of visiting our international partner PSI recently where he spent time undertaking an experiment with the Mendel Cube, a novel product in citizen based science. As a part of the international team, Rijad is currently working on the improvement of 3D reconstruction of plant cultivation chamber.  PSI CEO Mr. Martin Trtilek hosted Rijad and gave him a tour of the company focusing on state of the art product development.

No matter where we go, we always make sure we visit local university campuses. There was no difference this time. Haris Selmanovic and Eddie Custovic visited “Sveuciliste Mostar - University of Mostar” and ran a 4 hour workshop “Developing yourself through IEEE & BH Futures Foundation”. A small group of students had the opportunity to hear about the IEEE, the world’s largest professional organisation and BH Futures Foundation the fastest growing foundation in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Students also worked on project proposals that will be implemented in the coming months with the help of both organisations. Find out more by reading the article.
