 The young researchers who will be received by the Rector were the best students of their generations and are recipients of the Golden Badge of the University of Sarajevo, as well as prestigious international awards.

Dr Admir Greljo has been awarded a two-year contract in a position granted each year to two candidates from non-member states of CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research).

Dr Adnan Mehonić has been a member of the academic staff of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London since last year, while Dženan Lepandić is pursuing a master's degree in Robotics, Systems and Control at ETH Zurich and is employed as an assistant at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control at ETH Zurich.

Selver Pepić is the first recipient of the ETH Foundation Excellence Scholarship for study at ETH Zurich, while Suad Krilašević is a final-year master's student at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Sarajevo and one of the organisers of the Sarajevo Innovations Festival, League of Robots and Arduino Battles.

Nudžeim Selimović is a recipient of the ETH Foundation Excellence Scholarship for study at ETH Zurich, a lecturer at numerous physics camps, and co-founder of the project "Working with Pupils with a Special Interest in Physics and Preparation for Competitions".

"These exceptional researchers are the founders of the Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology (ANNT), whose aim is to promote science and technology, strengthen cooperation between research institutions and industry, enhance the international competitiveness of domestic higher education and research institutions in science and technology, and connect young and successful scientists and experts with the goal of improving the conditions and infrastructure for scientific and research work in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The ANNT Association advocates for the return of scientists and experts to Bosnia and Herzegovina," the UNSA Public Relations Office stated.
