RETLAMI-SEE at the PDF Final Conference in Sarajevo! 🚀

Our Project Coordinator, Andjela Pepic, recently joined the final conference of the "Project Development Facility (PDF)" hosted by International Burch University: https://www.ibu.edu.ba/in-focus/pdf

Representing the RETLAMI-SEE project, Anđela participated in a key panel discussion focused on a topic close to our mission: transforming research potential into international success. She highlighted how building strong institutional support and trust-based networks are essential for researchers in Bosnia and Herzegovina to thrive within the framework.

At RETLAMI-SEE, we don't just conduct research; we are committed to being part of the structural change that makes competitive science communication and project management possible in our region.
