SARAJEVO, October 26 (FENA) - The Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences (BHAAAS) held its 14th annual meeting last weekend. Although this year's meeting was held online due to the coronavirus pandemic, it did not prevent a large number of members, sympathizers, interested individuals, representatives of institutions and organizations from all over the world from attending this event.
The meeting was opened by the Ambassador of the United States of America to BiH, Eric Nelson, who emphasized the importance of BHAAAS for BiH, especially in the segment of knowledge transfer.
“Ambassador Nelson praised BHAAAS for its proactive action during the coronavirus pandemic, i.e. the medical section that organized teleconsultations with hospitals throughout BiH and ex YU to professionally assist local doctors and nurses in treating COVID-19 patients. He also mentioned the "60 seconds about the corona" project, which recorded notable results in informing the public about the coronavirus,” the BHAAAS said.
There was talk about projects, results, but also future goals. It was pointed out that, although due to the pandemic they had to postpone their biggest event "The 12th anniversary of BHAAAS in BiH", BHAAAS still achieved excellent results, and that this year was extremely successful for the Academy.
The statement said that many important projects have been launched, such as the Transfer of Knowledge through the UNDP project "Diaspora for Development", cooperation has been established with the Center for Research and Development and the UNSA Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, the project “3-minute Ph.D. competition” has been supported, as well as the project of BHAAAS member Adis Fejzić “The Key of the City of Sarajevo”. Numerous seminars, trainings and workshops were held. Notable professional publications have been published, excellent individual results of scientists, doctors, artists have been recorded, and a large number of new members have been enrolled, announced the BHAAAS.
