World's and ours: Edhem Eddie Čustović is the winner of one of the most prestigious awards for young engineers

We're just getting started. We will show the world what the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina can achieve, wrote Čustović. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the largest and most influential technical organization in the world, awarded the most prestigious award for young professionals to Edhem Eddie Čustović. It is the IEEE Theodore W. Hissey Outstanding Young Professional Award 2022 for leadership in empowering and developing technology professionals on a global level. Edhem shared this news on his Facebook page and pointed out who else deserves the credit for the significant recognition. Although my name is on this award, it equally belongs to my younger brother Rešad Čustović, who always had my back and supported me unconditionally. From the early 1990s, when we were two poor boys, refugees in Switzerland, we recycled plastic/glass bottles, sold recycled books/magazines to buy our first Nike sneakers, and founded the Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation to empower young people in the country we fled from many years ago. We have always worked closely together, and that is the secret of success. Your family and the people you surround yourself with are key to your happiness and success in your career, wrote Čustović. He thanked everyone who supported him because, as he says, this award belongs to his homelands—Australia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. We just started. We will show the world what people from Bosnia and Herzegovina can achieve, said this successful Tuzlak. You can view other award winners. HERE. As a seven-year-old boy, Edhem Eddie Čustović, with his parents and brother, came from Tuzla to Switzerland and then to Australia, where during his education he chose the world of science, technology, and innovation. In this field, he achieved exceptional results on a global scale, but he never forgot Bosnia and Herzegovina, where he came from. He founded a foundation that helps young people called B&H Futures Foundation. Today he works as a professor at the prestigious La Trobe University in Melbourne.
