Vol. 60 (2023): Bulletin of the Chemists and Technologists of Bosnia and Herzegovina

In January 2022, the University of Sarajevo’s Department of Physics started to implement a comprehensive project that aimed at all-encompassing modernization of the Department. Recently, the project has been successfully completed, resulting with a completely modernized research and teaching infrastructure.

The following capital research equipment was purchased: X-ray diffractometer, scanning electronic microscope, atomic force microscope, differential scanning calorimeter and UV-Vis spectrometer. This equipment is supposed to be used for conducting fundamental and applied research in condensed matter physics, and other natural sciences.

In addition, all the Department’s rooms were completely refurbished, including the computer lab and introductory physics labs. Thus the quality of the learning and study environment has been significantly improved. Especially the conditions for the development of computer and laboratory skills are now much better.

The net value of the project was around 1.5 million euros and was fully financed by the "Three Physicists" Foundation, established by physicists Edmond, Maja and Jan Offermann.
