The University of Sarajevo and its International Cooperation Office held the 14th Scholarship Fair (UNSA Study Expo) at the Rectorate on November 23rd, 2024. This important event brought together around 50 participants from various countries, including universities, associations, and embassies.
The fair was opened by Prof. Dr. Tarik Zaimović, the Rector of the University, who spoke about the significance of international cooperation in education. He highlighted that the Scholarship Fair has become a key annual event for those looking for new educational opportunities.
Mr. François Delmas, the French Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, also attended. He explained how the fair helps promote academic partnerships and encourages students to take advantage of available opportunities.
The Erasmus Mundus Association (EMA) used this chance to connect with Erasmus Mundus programme coordinators and engage with local and international students in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Students from Jordan, Palestine, and India were especially welcomed, allowing them to learn more about EMA and the country representatives from their regions. Local students could benefit from firsthand information on the application process and Erasmus Mundus's life.
The Scholarship Fair was a great success, giving students firsthand information about Erasmus Mundus's way of life and how to earn Erasmus Mundus scholarships. This event helped build valuable connections and enriched the educational experience for both Bosnian and international students living in the country.
A special thanks goes to Mr. Adnan Rahimić, Senior Expert for International Relations at the University of Sarajevo. He invited EMA to participate and helped with all the necessary preparations for the fair. His support was crucial in making this event happen. Additionally, EMA received an acknowledgement for its participation in the fair, which we greatly appreciate.
EMA looks forward to continuing these connections and supporting students in their journey toward academic success and international cooperation.
