I am deeply honored to announce that I have been appointed as the National Point of Contact (NPoC) for Bosnia and Herzegovina within the International COSMIC MOVEMENT. This appointment represents both a personal recognition and a professional responsibility: to contribute to the mission of making science accessible to all and to help bridge the global space gap.
The International COSMIC MOVEMENT, guided by its inspiring motto “To the stars through humanity”, emphasizes the importance of science as a shared human endeavor. Its mission aligns strongly with the principles of inclusivity, collaboration, and accessibility, ensuring that knowledge and innovation are not limited by borders.
As the NPoC for Bosnia and Herzegovina, my role will include:
- Supporting the integration of Bosnian and Herzegovinian researchers, students, and institutions into global scientific and space-related networks,
- Facilitating dialogue and cooperation between local and international partners,
- Promoting educational and professional opportunities for young scholars and early-career researchers in the field of space and cosmic studies,
- Raising awareness about the relevance of space sciences for sustainable development and global cooperation.
This is not only a professional milestone but also a step forward for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s engagement in global scientific initiatives. The journey to the stars is, at its heart, a journey of knowledge, collaboration, and humanity, and I am eager to contribute to this path.
