The International University of Sarajevo (IUS) is constantly working on improving its work capacity and conditions for students. Namely, recently the Siemens Germany has donated special hardware equipment for the development of laboratories worth 270,000 KM, as part of the contract signed between these two institutions. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Izudin Džafić, professor at the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Program of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (FENS) at IUS, was the initiator in the process of obtaining this donation. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Džafić was a longtime employee of Siemens Germany. Over the years he has developed a positive business relationship with this respectable company and he is responsible for the implementation of the cooperation between the Siemens company and the University.
The donated equipment is related to Smart Grids (intelligent network) which should simulate the network power system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the form of small scale models of the system. This system will be used in the process of tracing malfunctions in the network, and students will have the opportunity to practice and get familiar with this network and its equipment. The Siemens is investing a lot in innovation and technology to improve its services and efficiency of networks, intelligent power distribution and so on. Many Siemens products and solutions have already found their place in application worldwide.
