CGS strengthens geological education and cooperation in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Lucie Koucká
As part of the development project Innovation of Geological Information Systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is funded by the Czech Development Agency, a series of lectures was held on November 5–7 at several Bosnian universities – the University of Tuzla, the University of Banja Luka, and the University of Travnik. The event was organized by the Czech Geological Survey (CGS) in cooperation with the Geological Survey of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FZZG) and the Geological Survey of the Republic of Srpska.
The CGS team, consisting of Jakub Kryl, Jan Jelének, Ondřej Švagera, and Lucie Koucká, introduced students to the latest technologies used in geology, including remote sensing methods. Local experts Cvjetko Sandić (RZZGI) and Ferid Skopljak (FZZG) also participated in the lectures.
The aim of the event was to motivate students to continue studying geology and to strengthen cooperation between Bosnian universities and geological services. The lectures were intended not only for university students of geology, but also for students of the technical secondary school in Banja Luka and representatives of the professional public. University students were also offered the opportunity to gain practical experience through internships with local geological services.
