Representatives of the School of Economics at the University of Banja Luka – Dean Prof. Dr. Milenko Krajišnik, Prof. Dr. Jelena Poljašević, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Biljana Srdić Gojković and Teaching Assistant Vladana Ritan – participated from 15 to 17 July 2025 in the three‑day consortium meeting of the “RDBiH – Development of Research & Development Strategies and Centers in Bosnia and Herzegovina” project, held at the Technical University of Ulm (THU) in Germany.
Alongside the University of Banja Luka delegation, the meeting brought together colleagues from partner universities and research centres across the European Union, as well as representatives of relevant ministries and industry partners. The programme featured presentations on European R&D practices, strategic updates from Bosnian and Herzegovinian universities and institutions, and interactive workshops dedicated to crafting effective R&D strategies. Participants also made a special visit to Liebherr’s research centre in Ehingen, where they were introduced to cutting‑edge industrial R&D facilities.
During plenary discussions, attendees examined the key research and development needs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, planned a series of national forums and defined the next steps for implementing the project’s findings. All participants underscored the importance of collaborative efforts to establish strong, sustainable R&D structures that will enhance the long‑term competitiveness and innovative capacity of academic and research institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
