About the Project

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion for research enhancement (EDIRE) in Bosnia and Herzegovina aims to create a networking collaboration between the University Sarajevo School of Science and Technology (SSST) and four renowned research institutions in France, Italy, Ireland, and Spain, with the final aim of increasing SSST research profile, boosting its research capacity, especially in the field of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). 

Research on EDI is almost totally unaddressed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, therefore EDIRE will contribute to introducing new lines of research in such strategic topics for the quality of research. These transversal research areas will be embedded in intensive training and networking actions addressing SSST research and management capacity in general.

About the School

EDIRE Summer School will gather Early Career Researchers from University Sarajevo School of Science and Technology, Technological University Dublin, University of Genoa, Complutense University of Madrid, and University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne to discover EDI principles in all aspects. Participants will collaborate in a “hackathon” which will be introduced to the participating students in the afternoon of the first day of training, followed by a mix of lectures focused on EDI issues. EDIRE Summer School training will be designed to help participants think of their solution in EDI terms and include EDI components in all phases of solution creation. 

During the summer schools, intensive learning experiences will be offered in relation to the following topics: a) scientific research advancement and innovation; b) EDI studies; c) creative writing; d) writing of research proposals for gaining external funding; e) research methods and analytical skills; f) inclusion, inequality and economic growth; g) open access and open science; h) scientific and career progression opportunities for scientists in the research fields fostered by the project, and others.
