Dear members of BHAAAS,
I am honored to take the helm of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian-American Association of Arts and Sciences (BHAAAS), an organization that has become my scientific “home away from home” and my main connection to like-minded researchers in my native Bosnia and Herzegovina. View Message
For sixteen years, the Days of BHAAAS have been a substantial, high-quality, and successful conference.
Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences was founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, on November 3, 2007.
Modern societies are increasingly confronted with various forms of crises - from natural disasters and public health and security threats to political, institutional, and reputational crises.
Composer, producer, and multimedia artist Svjetlana Bukvich, a member of BHAAAS and a distinguished representative of contemporary art music, is once again in the international spotlight thanks to her composition Unraveling the Linear, featured on the album Resonant Worlds by the Sylvan Winds ensemble (Albany Records). The album has attracted the attention of music critics worldwide, including the prestigious Gramophone UK, which highlighted the release for its artistic complexity and innovative sound.
As part of the 17th Days of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences (BHAAAS), which will take place from June 4 to June 7, 2026, in Sarajevo, Dr. Davor Mucić, a BHAAAS member and an active participant in the symposium dedicated to mental health, will once again take part in the program. This year, his participation will also gain a special artistic dimension, as he will present a musical piece from his international project AYSHA at the conference opening ceremony. Through the fusion of science and art, this project addresses important social issues related to mental health, trauma, and support for victims of violence.
The Computer Science and Information Technologies Student Symposium is an event for final-year bachelor students to present their thesis projects, share ideas, and receive feedback. Selected participants will give short presentations followed by Q&A, with the best presentations receiving awards at the end.
BHAAAS Days are the most important activity organized by the Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Over the years, BHAAAS Days have grown into a respected international conference.
Over the past 16 years, this event has brought together more than 1,000 participants from 30 countries through numerous symposiums, special events, and a dedicated student program.
BHAAAS Days are a platform for networking, unforgettable encounters, and the exchange of ideas between local and international experts from various fields of science and art.
After 16 successful conferences, BHAAAS proudly continues building bridges between the homeland and the world.
See you at the 17th BHAAAS Days!
