The award honours researchers from developing and transition countries who have earned international recognition for their research work and seek to solve development-related issues. The award winners are nominated by specialist colleagues from Germany and invited to establish or expand cooperations with them. Valued at €60,000 each, the Georg Forster Research Awards are financed by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
Theoretical physicist Dejan Milošević from Bosnia-Herzegovina is one of the awardee. He is professor at the University of Sarajevo. He will cooperate with the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) and thus continue a long-standing successful cooperation.
