Bosnia and Herzegovina is a potential candidate country for European Union membership. The EU is the country’s primary political and economic partner, and its largest donor and investor. Cooperation and financial assistance extends across many fields: agriculture, education, infrastructure, business development and much more. Bosnia and Herzegovina is undertaking ambitious improvements to reach EU standards in areas such as the fight against corruption and organised crime. While challenges remain, the EU is committed to working with Bosnia and Herzegovina to deliver change and improve the quality of life for citizens.
The ScienceUs Upscale Academy offers citizen science initiatives a unique opportunity to scale their impact and support the EU’s mission of "Adaptation to Climate Change." Through a three-phase programme—Seed, Flourish, and Harvest—selected projects will receive funding, expert guidance, and collaboration opportunities with key stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders. The programme focuses on scaling successful citizen science campaigns, fostering transnational collaboration, and transferring best practices to create a ripple effect of knowledge and innovation. This Open Call will select 25 projects for the Seed Phase, with five advancing to the later stages for larger funding and further support. Eligible projects must address climate adaptation topics such as energy management, public services, or environmental governance. By connecting and enhancing citizen science efforts, ScienceUs empowers communities to co-create practical solutions for climate resilience. Applications are now open and will be accepted until 6th January 2025.
