VeraSnajderAward
Vera Šnajder became a mathematician at a time when almost every door was closed to her — and then spent her career opening those doors for others at the University of Sarajevo. This award exists so that her kind of courage keeps compounding.
Nominations for the 2027 award open ahead of next year's Summit.
Who Vera Šnajder was
A mathematician, professor, and institution-builder, Vera Šnajder was among the first women to teach mathematics at university level in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her career is a reminder that excellence and generosity are not separate achievements.
What the award recognizes
Each year we honor a young woman from B&H whose work in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics shows both excellence and service — research that matters, built by someone who lifts others as she climbs.
