Raising the quality of teaching with the use of advanced didactic tools and the application of AI
To improve the educational process at the Multidisciplinary Secondary School Bugojno, Nursing Technician program, it is crucial to establish a stimulating environment for teacher education and the development of talented students. We focus on implementing new didactic tools and educating students about artificial intelligence in medical practice to familiarize them with advanced technologies. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of education and prepare students for future challenges by creating a stimulating environment for teachers and continuous improvement of teaching methods with a focus on the application of artificial intelligence.
Collaboration with the Scientific Research Institute Verlab for Biomedical Engineering, Medical Devices, and Artificial Intelligence will enable teacher education on practical tool application and mentoring for integrating artificial intelligence education into the curriculum. Recognizing young talents and supporting them through additional classes and workshops will allow them to gain a deeper understanding of new technologies, with opportunities to participate in research projects or competitions through cooperation with the Verlab Institute. In this way, young talents will be motivated to continue their education and become leaders in the field.
CA21139 - 3Rs concepts to improve the quality of biomedical science
CA21139 - 3Rs concepts to improve the quality of biomedical science
A COST Action is an interdisciplinary research network that brings researchers and innovators together to investigate a topic of their choice for 4 years. COST Actions are made up of researchers from academia, SMEs, public institutions and other relevant organisations or interested parties.
In recent years, awareness of the existence of a crisis of reproducibility and predictability in biomedical science has grown. The reproducibility crisis refers to the problem researchers struggle to replicate or reproduce scientific studies. There have been many publications that consider why preclinical research is unreproducible and unpredictable, pointing to shortcomings in reporting and statistical practices. Confounding factors, which are part of the laboratory environment and will influence both dependent and independent variables, continue to be identified, suggesting that our knowledge of their existence is far from complete. Better statistical methodology will play a central role in improving the reproducibility of science to produce robust and repeatable research. Another area of improvement is the development of new methods to better define and evaluate replication success and improve predictability. In this light, the development and introduction of new, powerful concepts for biomedical research are essential to reduce the production of unrepeatable and unpredictable data. This has enormous scientific, economic and social significance. In this context, it is suggested that discoveries and concepts from the field of 3R can greatly help to improve biomedical research at several levels.
The main goal of the COST action IMPROVE:
Establish a network that will work on improving, harmonizing and promoting 3Rs concepts, data and documents, in order to improve the quality of biomedical science.
ERASMUS - Teaching critical thinking in science through nanolearning and virtual exchange principles
ERASMUS - Teaching critical thinking in science through nanolearning and virtual exchange principles
Teaching critical thinking in science through nanolearning and principles of virtual exchange (NANO-THINK) project is a comprehensive initiative that aims to create and design a specialized program that encourages the development of critical thinking in science. Although critical thinking is in the very essence of the scientific method and higher education, as well as for business relations and science, in recent decades the challenges of specialization within disciplines and professions, as well as the fragmentation of the teaching process, necessarily indicate the need for new solutions in the education of thinking and the return of man as a thinker in the center of the teaching process. The program that will be developed within the NANO-THINK project was designed precisely with this purpose and as support for these efforts in the wider region.
In the development of the program, the principles of virtual learning and so-called focused nano-tools will be used in order to provide today's students with an effective and attractive learning experience.
The program will be developed with the long-term goal of achieving appropriate ECTS accreditation in accordance with the rigorous quality standards of the European system of credit transfer and accumulation.
During the duration of the project, the NANO-THINK team will closely cooperate with the institutions that participate in the development and improvement of the program and the selection of the best experts from partner institutions capable of achieving the desired results, ensuring compliance with their academic standards and meeting the needs of students.
The project will last three years, and the total value is 371,863 euros.

ERASMUS - Raising the capacity of women in leading the process and making decisions in sports in the countries of WB
Raising the capacity of women in leading the process and making decisions in sports in the countries of WB (Women4Sport) is an Erasmus Sport project which encourages gender equality in the key leadership and decision-making positions of the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) of Western Balkan (WB) countries, namely Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro and Slovenia. The project is promoting structural changes in the governance, enhancing the understanding of existing cultural barriers and encouraging the NOCs to work with their member federations to create a sustainable change. In this process, five participating NOCs are supported by Verlab Institute in digitalization phases and Association BRAVO Sarajevo in dissemination activities.
Increased capacity of the role of women in NOCs in Western Balkan countries is in agreement with EU regulation and practice (“Plan for Gender Equality in Sport '') for WB countries. The project includes five work packages, each focusing on a different aspect. The first work package is focused on project management, coordination, and administration. The second work package, led by Verlab Institute, is focused on the detailed analysis of women's involvement in management and decision-making processes within the NOCs of each of the partner countries in the Western Balkans (WB). This work package also includes generation of the registry of women at top management positions in the NOCs and their associated sport federations in participating countries, which will be implemented by the experts from Verlab Institute. The third work package consists of presenting the results of the study, promoting the importance of women's participation in the management and process management of NOCs and sports federations, and the importance of regional cooperation of WB countries in this regard. The fourth work package consists of creating a personalized strategy for improving the status of women in the process of managing processes within NOCs, conducting training for the implementation of strategies in NOCs work plans, and implementing strategies. The final work package involves the dissemination and exploitation of project activities and outcomes, including the organization of a final symposium to present and discuss the project's results.
