NGO AFFILIATE
It is known that NGOs (non-governmental organisations) are contributing at all stages of the research cycle, fostering the relevance and effectiveness of the research, priority setting, and knowledge translation to action. They have a key role in stewardship (promoting and advocating for relevant research), resource mobilization for research, the generation, utilization and management of knowledge, and capacity development. Therefore, the Institute closely collaborate with the Bosnia and Herzegovina Medical and Biological Engineering Society (DMBIUBIH) to enable wider usage of science and findings of research and evaluations by stakeholders, regardless of who they are. The research implementation and digital transformation consulting is enabled through the Digital Innovation Hub (DIH). LabHub serves as one-stop shop for digitalisation of SME’s in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
