On Saturday, November 30, 2024, in Belgrade, the Miloš Biković Foundation officially marked the conclusion of its pilot project “Empowering Young Talents for Academic and Personal Success.” This unique program, which ran from March to November, brought together thirty talented and ambitious students from five universities in Serbia, providing them with a multidisciplinary experience through education, collaboration, and the development of their own projects.
Over nine months, students from diverse fields—biochemistry, physics, law, medicine, music, applied arts, agriculture, mathematics, and others—had the opportunity to participate in:
- Eight workshops, some held in person (in Belgrade and Niš) and others online, covering topics such as soft skills, technology, and public speaking, led by domestic and international experts.
- Two study trips to Novi Sad, where they visited Vega IT, the BioSense Institute, and the Faculty of Technology at the University of Novi Sad.
A special component of the program included mini-projects that the students designed and implemented with the Foundation’s support. These projects covered various themes, including STEM, mental health, art, sustainable development, mechanical engineering, and IT.
So far, five projects have been completed:
- Talk to Me
- Cosmodrome
- Stellar Triathlon
- CorCast
- m3Dicine
By the end of the year, we expect the completion of three more mini-projects, about which we will share details soon:
- Inceptum
- Implanted
- First Green Step
At the final event, students presented the results of their work, shared experiences, and reflected on their impressions, making it a perfect way to conclude a year filled with hard work, challenges, and success.
Multidisciplinarity was the guiding principle of this pilot project, and the results exceeded our expectations. Beyond gaining professional and academic knowledge, students became part of a community that fosters collaboration, friendship, and mutual inspiration. Through this project, we demonstrated that combining diverse perspectives opens the door to innovation, creativity, and lasting results.
We thank these extraordinary young individuals for their time and trust. We look forward to continuing this journey with them, as well as with new talents and projects that lie ahead.
