Recent significant events include a meeting hosted by SSST and organized by the European Association of Social Psychology on “Inter-group Reconciliation: Divergent Perspectives of Perpetrator and Victim Groups,” a Google Bootcamp Weekend held in SSST’s modern conference center, and a high-profile round table discussion on the topic of: “We Care How Our Money is Spent,” as part of the Fiscal Monitor in BiH Project being developed and implemented by SSST.
Upcoming events at SSST include a large international conference, “Marking a Century since the Outbreak of WWI,” organized in partnership with the University of Buckingham and scheduled for July of 2014, and the Free Market Road Show (FMRS) in May 2013. The FMRS will be held in different cities across Europe and is hosted by the Hayek Institute and Austrian Economics Center in Vienna. As part of the Roadshow, panelists from around the globe, as well as local businessmen, journalists and academics will examine some of the most pressing economic issues facing Europe and the rest of the world.
“Currently I am working on a development project conducted for the needs of Siemens AG, Power Distribution Division. Strict deadlines, difficult and dynamic tasks are all part of everyday working environment at SSST. In Bosnia there are limited possibilities of collaboration with leading industry experts in any field. I find my work exciting as I practically work for a multinational company but without having to move to another country. Experience and references gained by working on this project are something every engineer would want to have in his CV.”

“At SSST I am continuing my research on post-conflict reconciliation processes through collaboration with my colleagues in the UK and the United States. Currently we are working on a British Academy funded project which looks at victim group responses to perpetrators' reactions to their wrongdoings. We aim to answer the question of what kind of reaction offered by the perpetrator group (e.g., acceptance of responsibility, expression of shame, guilt etc.) will ultimately produce rehumanization of the offender group in the minds of the victim group, and set the ground for improving intergroup relations.In addition to teaching and research, PS/IR Department at SSST is creating the first multidisciplinary Master Program in Conflict Analysis and Reconciliation to be offered in Bosnia, while we are continuously collaborating with governmental and non-governmental institutions working in the area of reconciliation, post-conflict restoration and peace building.”
