Within the framework of the EUPeace programme, I carried out a Doctoral Mobility Grant at Philipps University Marburg, with the aim of advancing my doctoral training in the field of digital humanities and strengthening academic cooperation between the University of Sarajevo and partner institutions in Germany.
The purpose of the mobility was to deepen both the theoretical and practical dimensions of digital humanities teaching activities, with a particular focus on its infrastructure, methodologies, and applications in the humanities, education, and culture.

Research Collaboration:
During my stay, I worked closely with my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Marcell Saß (Research Center “Migration and Human Rights”), and collaborated with the Marburg Center for Digital Culture and Infrastructure, whose expert support was directly related to the topic of my doctoral dissertation.
The mobility resulted in the establishment of valuable academic connections, plans for future collaboration, and the agreement on a forthcoming visit of my supervisor to the University of Sarajevo, representing an important step toward further teaching activities.
Teaching & Digital Humanities:
The knowledge and experience gained during the mobility will be directly integrated into teaching activities through the introduction of digital humanities tools and methods, such as digital text analysis, data visualization, GIS applications, digital storytelling, and ethical aspects of artificial intelligence in the humanities. Special emphasis will be placed on developing teaching content that supports education for peace, justice, and inclusive societies, while strengthening students’ digital competencies.
Networking & International Engagement:
In addition to academic work, the mobility provided opportunities to participate in international events, including the International Welcome Reception at Philipps University of Marburg, where I presented the University of Sarajevo, engaged in discussions with researchers from Europe and beyond, and explored possibilities for future international cooperation.
This mobility represents a highly valuable part of my doctoral and professional development and contributes directly to the internationalization of research, innovation in teaching, and the strengthening of academic capacities at the University of Sarajevo.
