A public record, written by anyone who will do the work
Knowledge Heroes collects the scientists, physicians, engineers, writers and scholars born across Bosnia and Herzegovina — 289 of them so far, across 48 fields and seven centuries.
Every entry has a portrait, a biography, its fields of study, life dates, and a birthplace on the map. Every edit is recorded — 411 revisions so far — so the archive can be checked, corrected, and trusted.
Every nation has its heroes. They come in all shapes and sizes. Heroes elevate moral, they create a common bond between citizens, they are transformative, they inspire optimism and they inspire other heroes. Knowledge Heroes is an ongoing project initiated by Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation aiming to highlight the biographies of individuals who’s intellect has played an important role in shaping Bosnia & Herzegovina.
By commemorating their life stories, we want to ensure that new generations of citizens in Bosnia & Herzegovina don’t forget the important roles these “heroes” have played in advancing our society and improving the quality of life. Knowledge heroes live on forever because their contributions are timeless, widely recognised as unselfish and impactful.
We hope that the stories of our heroes will inspire the next generation of brave citizens who dare to dream big, who dare to push boundaries, who dare to be different and through their intellect leave a positive mark on history. Let us remember that we all have the potential to become knowledge heroes. We at Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation like to say:
Knowledge Heroes is a project founded by Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation as a way to provide inspiration to new generations of Bosnians & Herzegovinians by highlighting the extraordinary lives and contributions of individuals who were born or lived in this beautiful land of ours.
“Acknowledge and respect the past, embrace and live the present, shape and secure the future”.
