Opcina Centar - EFA 2010 Scholarships
Općina Centar Sarajevo provided an opportunity for 3 extraordinary students from this Sarajevo municipality to visit European Forum Alpbach in a beautiful Austrian village Alpbach, Tirol.
Two students from Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Sarajevo Ms. Jasenka Dizdarević and Ms. Mia Gušo participated in Technology forum, which has long been a highly respected fixture in Austria's and European research and technology scene. Ms. Alma Kujan, a student at Sarajevo School of Science and Technology participated in Alpbach Economic Symposium - "Did we waste the crisis", which analysed the socioeconomic consequences of the financial and economic crisis. Crisis management and the successful shaping of the future were at the centre of the discussions.
We asked Alma to give us a short feedback on EFA 2010: "European Forum Alpbach, for me, was an amazing and inspirational experience. Besides being educational and challenging, with discussions on current issues in the world, it was an excellent opportunity to meet new people and gain new perspectives. I left Alpbach with the aim of returning again."
Jasenka, Mia and Alma, along with 5 other EFA 2010 participants have joined IGAS and today they are our active members.
This would not be possible without support from Općina Centar Sarajevo. Thank you.
