On this occasion, Minister Semiha Borovac pointed out that this already established BiH-American Academy—"in" terms of the number and profile of its membership, but especially in terms of activities—is one of the most significant organizations of the academic diaspora of BiH in the world." We are ready, considering all the results and all the activities that the Academy is doing, to change the policy towards the diaspora in BiH," said Minister Borovac, announcing the preparation of a special document that will define the policy of the state of BiH towards the diaspora. Borovac said that Sarajevo is officially "aware of the overall contribution and influence that the BiH diaspora has on economic, social, educational, and cultural development in BiH." We want to deepen these ties and bind Bosnia and Herzegovina's diaspora for the development of BiH and in such a way that we see it as an important link in the Euro-Atlantic integration of BiH," said the minister at the media conference, dedicated to the eighth meeting of American and European experts in Neum, organized by BHAAAS. Dr. Kenan Arnautović, a distinguished American neurosurgeon and member of the Academy, announced a joint symposium of neurosurgeons, who, as he says, have tied up with the associations of neurosurgeons in Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Prevention is first and foremost. As part of the same symposium, Dr. Lejla Hadžikadić-Gušić will lead the section dedicated to current updates in breast cancer treatment, from surgical oncology to reconstructive surgery.

It should be said that this type of cooperation between BiH scientists in the USA started during and after the war in BiH, based on individual engagement and contacts. In the meantime, BHAAAS has made it possible to raise it to a higher level and expand, giving everything professional legitimacy and an organizational platform. This led to the founding of the Congress of Orthopedists and Traumatologists of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which includes all the centers in the country.

Innovative technologies At the BHAAAS Days in Neum, innovative and interdisciplinary applications of modern technologies will be discussed at a symposium led by distinguished professor. Mirsad Hadžikadić, Director of Complex Systems and Computer Science at the University of North Carolina. This two-day symposium will include complex systems, biomedical engineering, power systems, telecommunications, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and computer science. This type of symposium is unique because of its breadth of field, which is rare in technical fields that are mostly specialized. This is especially important for today's world, which is increasingly dependent on technologies that do not know technological and geographical barriers. For the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a measuring instrument for monitoring the development of children is presented during a symposium in the field of early growth and development and pediatrics. The significance of this two-day transdisciplinary symposium is that scientific works and research conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina under the mentorship of American and other professors will be presented—to improve the early growth and development of children in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Michaela Erjavec, who is a professor and scientist from Bangor University in Wales, also participates in the work of the conference, with lectures at two symposiums in the area of early growth and development, where he will present the results of his research with children in Great Britain and Ireland and will also talk about changes and influences on a healthy diet. This will also be presented at lectures on child psychiatry, where they will talk about research into the prevention of "ridiculous children at all levels in schools." Prestigious institutions The program of this year's conference includes a wide range of interesting scientific topics, BHAAAS said. In addition to medicine, members of the BiH American Academy of Arts and Sciences have prepared symposia in the fields of technology, psychology, natural sciences, and humanities. Some of the participants come from famous American clinical centers, such as "Sparrow Regional Cancer Center," "Semmes Murphey Clinic," "Levine Cancer Institute," "Columbia University," "University of Bangor, North Carolina University," "Arizona State University," "Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center," and "Advanced Plastic Surgery of North Shore."
