CONNECT 21 the fifth edition of the DAAD-funded CONNECT series established in 2017. Project CONNECT is initiated by scientists from Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia, who are active in the field of theoretical/mathematical physics and experimental/applied physics. The participating Universities of the Western Balkan countries which contribute to the realization of the Symposium are the University of Tuzla, University of Mostar, University of Banja Luka, University of Novi Sad, and the University of Zagreb.
The CONNECT is, however, not focused on the exchange of scientific ideas, but on the discussion of science promotion and its impact on civil society in the region. With Bosnia-Herzegovina being at the stepping-stone to become a member of the European Union it is of utmost importance to bridge the ethnic and political gaps between the different parts of Bosnia-Herzegovina (and in the Western Balkans region) and to strengthen the democratization process and to insist on equal rights of all individuals and all constituent peoples in accordance with the Constitution. In order to tackle these issues, the CONNECT Symposium has been installed.
The participating Universities are the University of Tuzla, University of Mostar, University of Banja Luka, University of Novi Sad, and the University of Zagreb, but participation is open to all students from the Western Balkans.
