UNDP Dialogue for the Future
Based on a joint initiative of the BiH Presidency and the UN Secretary General, as well as the recognised need to give space for dialogue and promotion of coexistence in BiH, the UN Team in BiH led by the UN Resident Coordinator and in cooperation with the BiH Presidency has developed a project entitled "Dialogue for the Future: Promoting Coexistence and Diversity in BiH" jointly implemented by UNESCO, UNICEF and UNDP.
The Medical and Biological Engineering Society in Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the winners of a grant in the field of education, with the project "Common Future Based on Common Interests", with the key goal of supporting social cohesion, coexistence, intercultural understanding and promotion and development of biomedical engineering in BiH.
On 21 April 2015 in the Congress Hall, UN building in Sarajevo, a symbolic grant was awarded to all winners in the field of youth, culture and education, and an agreement was officially signed between the Medical and Biological Engineering Society and donors. Zuri Afanasiev, UN Resident Coordinator, welcomed all the winners and wished them a successful implementation of the project.
In the field of education, 11 grants were awarded for the project implementation. Of the large number of applications, the project of the Medical and Biological Engineering Society in BiH was among the best ones which received support for the implementation.

As part of the project implemented by the Society for Medical and Biological Engineering in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 6 thematic workshops were held. The project was supported by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and implemented under the auspices of the European Commission's programme and its instrument for technical support and information exchange TAIEX. Workshops were held in various cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina during 2018.
The opening ceremony was attended by respective representatives of the Delegation of the European Union to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the BiH Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Medical and Biological Engineering Society in BiH, as well as the state and entity ministries, universities and many others. The workshops brought together about 600 researchers, scientists, doctors, engineers and promising students from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia. Together with the most famous European lecturers who were invited, they created a platform to discuss the latest research, innovative solutions and new challenges in this field, towards improving the quality of health care and life in general.
